What Is Autoflame?

Autoflame Engineering has been at the forefront of boiler and burner management systems for over 50 years. Their patented intelligent burner control systems micro-modulate, provide real-time monitoring, and enable data-driven decisions for your boiler room. Whether you’re managing steam, hot water, or industrial burners, Autoflame provides unparalleled precision, efficiency, and reliability.

Key Features of Autoflame Systems

  1. Micro-Modulating Control: Achieves precise air-to-fuel ratio adjustments, cutting fuel costs by up to 12%.
  2. O₂ Trim Systems: Automatically adjusts for optimal combustion, ensuring maximum efficiency and reducing excess oxygen.
  3. Remote Monitoring: Integrates with BMS systems and can feed data directly to your mobile device.
  4. Automatic Blowdowns and Water Level Controls: Maintain peak boiler performance effortlessly.
  5. Support for Four-Fuel Operation: Enables real-time fuel changeovers without interruption.
  6. Steam Flow Metering and Draft Control: Ensures seamless and efficient boiler operation.
  7. Exhaust Gas Analysis (EGA): Measures critical emissions, including O₂, CO₂, CO, NO, NO₂, and SO₂, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards. Coupled with the MM Controller, it dynamically adjusts combustion through three-parameter trim for maximum efficiency.
  8. Data Monitoring: The systems touchscreen shows live performance metrics, historical data storage, and simplified commissioning and operation.
  9. Data Transfer Interface (DTI): Acts as a communication gateway for advanced remote monitoring and control, integrating multiple controllers, sensors, and analyzers. It stores three years of operational data, accessible via a Building Management System (BMS) or exportable into Excel.
  10. Integration: Fully automated flame safeguard, valve proving system, VSD control, scheduling, sequencing, and other automatic settings already integrated into the controls.

Burner Retrofits

Autoflame combustion controls are an ideal solution for enhancing efficiency and reducing operating costs, even in aging equipment. In fact, nearly 50% of all Autoflame controls installed are retrofits, making it an excellent choice for upgrading existing systems.

Our expert team handles burner control installation, wiring, commissioning, testing, and training. This ensures your upgrade is seamless. With Autoflame as part of a burner retrofit, the return on investment (ROI) can be as short as one year in certain cases.
