Weishaupt burners with digital combustion management
have been operating on a wide variety of heat generators
and thermal process plant for more than 15 years. One
of the compelling features of the technology is its universal
adapatability to completely different burner types and

Control multiple boilers efficiently:
The Weishaupt MBC System
Many multi-boiler systems could be
operated more efficiently, especially
at partial load, if the boiler duty could
be adjusted to suit heat demand.
This is where Weishaupt Multi-Boiler
Control offers a well-engineered and
practical solution.
The principle
Weishaupt MBC facilitates the modern,
hydraulically optimised operation of
multi-boiler plant by measuring and
controlling the flow of water from the
boilers. Speed-controlled boiler pumps
and modulating burners, together with an
innovative control concept, form an ideal
solution for multi-boiler plant.
The equipment
Flow rate is measured in the consumer
circuit and at every heat generator.
Speed-controlled boiler pumps deliver a
balanced amount of water to each heat
generator and correct for any deviations
before they have a detrimental effect on
system temperature. In this way, the
Different boiler and burner types work together even more efficiently with the MBC system characteristics of the patented system
provide outstanding control and ensure
the energetically optimised, functionally
reliable operation of systems of any size.
