1. What is the AquaSmart?

The Beckett AquaSmart is an advanced triple acting boiler temperature control (BTC) designed for use on residential and light com- mercial boiler systems. A triple acting BTC incorporates a High and Low limit with differential functions. The triple acting BTC also controls circulator functions. This employs a BTC that acts in reverse. The reverse BTC opens to turn the circulator off if boiler water temperature drops below a set temperature, typically to maintain a minimum boiler temperature in both the High and Low limit func- tions. The circulator circulates the heat transfer fluid to the heated zone. The Beckett AquaSmart comes equipped with the Depart- ment of Energy (DOE) 2012 compliant HeatManager. All models include the option of enabling the Beckett HeatManager load-match- ing energy saving calculation. When selected it provides up to 20% fuel consumption savings.

2. What is the Beckett HeatManager Calculation?

The HeatManager saves fuel by dynamically changing the temperature high operating limit to the minimum temperature necessary to meet the heating demand. The contractor can adjust the HeatManager calculation to maximize comfort or energy savings. The HeatManager calculation is designed to operate the boiler at its lowest possible temperature while still meeting the heating demand. By dynamically changing the boiler temperature, it is designed to reduce the energy used by the system without sacrificing comfort.
