General Operation

How the boiler operates

The Knight boiler uses an advanced stainless steel heat exchanger and an electronic control module that allows fully condensing operation. The blower pulls in gas and air and pushes flue products out of the boiler through the heat exchanger and flue piping. The control module regulates blower speed to control boiler firing rate. The gas valve senses the amount of air flowing into the boiler and allows only the right amount of gas to flow.

How the control module operates

The Knight boiler control module receives input from boiler sensors. The control module activates and controls the blower and gas valve to regulate heat input and switches boiler, DHW and system pumps on and off as needed. The user/installer programs the module to meet system needs by adjusting control parameters. These parameters set operating temperatures and boiler operating modes. Boiler operation can be based on boiler outlet water temperature, boiler return water temperature or system supply temperature, depending on the parameter setting.

Sequence of operation

Table 1-1 shows control module normal sequences of operation for space heating and DHW operation. The combined operation sequence is for a typical application, programmed to provide DHW priority.
