Significant fuel savings

Optiburner typically delivers fuel savings of 15-30%. This substantial reduction is achieved through intelligent management of the boiler's firing pattern. By optimising cooling cycles and burn times, the system significantly reduces overall fuel consumption without compromising heating performance, translating to considerable cost savings.

Carbon reduction

By optimising boiler efficiency, the Optiburner significantly reduces carbon emissions. This makes it an essential tool for businesses aiming to improve their Display Energy Certificates, meet CO₂ reduction targets, or comply with Carbon Reduction Commitment regulations. The system’s ability to cut fuel consumption directly translates to a lower carbon footprint.

Quick payback and ROI

The Optiburner boiler optimiser offers a swift return on investment, with typical payback periods ranging from 3 to 18 months. The exact timeframe depends on fuel consumption levels, with high-demand scenarios often seeing even quicker returns. This rapid ROI makes Optiburner a financially sound decision for businesses looking to optimise their heating costs.

Firing pattern optimisation

Optiburner's patented technology optimises boiler firing patterns by extending the cooling cycle by 90%. This allows the boiler temperature to drop by about 3°C, resulting in slightly longer but fewer burn periods. The system increases individual cycle length from 200 to 320 seconds, reducing the number of cycles and improving efficiency without affecting heat output.

Proven dry cycling reduction

The Optiburner boiler optimiser effectively combats dry cycling, a major source of energy waste. It intelligently manages cooling and burning phases, reducing firings from 8 to 5 in a 4-hour period while extending individual burn times from 10 to 12.5 minutes. This results in a 21% reduction in overall burn time, significantly enhancing fuel efficiency and boiler performance.

No change to heating levels

Despite significant efficiency improvements, the Optiburner maintains consistent heating levels. The system ensures that energy-saving measures do not compromise thermal comfort or system performance. By optimising the firing pattern rather than reducing heat output, Optiburner delivers optimal efficiency without sacrificing functionality or user comfort.

Supercharged BMS

Optiburner's DBMU works in harmony with existing Building Management Systems (BMS). While a BMS controls when a boiler turns on and off, the DBMU optimises the firing pattern itself - a capability beyond traditional BMS functionality. This complementary approach enhances overall system performance without interfering with existing BMS operations.

Temperature management

The Optiburner works in harmony with existing Building Management Systems (BMS). While a BMS controls when a boiler turns on and off, the Optiburner optimiser fine-tunes the firing pattern itself—a capability beyond traditional BMS functionality. This complementary approach enhances overall system performance without interfering with existing BMS operations.

Extended heating system life

By reducing the number of boiler firings by 50-100 times in a 24-hour period, Optiburner significantly decreases wear and tear on the heating system and associated components like pumps. This intelligent management extends the operational lifespan of the entire heating infrastructure, potentially delaying the need for costly replacements.

Optiburner insights: What you need to know

We've compiled answers to common questions to help you better understand our innovative technology. From installation details to performance metrics, find the information you need to make an informed decision about optimising your heating system.
What makes Optiburner unique?

Optiburner’s boiler optimiser is a cutting-edge technology that stands out for its patented design and proven commercial performance. The Optiburner optimiser improves boiler firing patterns by extending cooling curves, significantly reducing dry cycling and fuel consumption. This advanced optimisation approach has demonstrated reliable results in practice, setting it apart in the market.

How does the Optiburner save fuel?

Optiburner capitalises on the fact that boilers are typically designed for extreme conditions (–6°C), while average winter temperatures are much milder (8–10°C). By extending boiler cycles and reducing burn time percentages, the Optiburner boiler optimiser uses the existing hot water in commercial systems to maintain temperatures more efficiently. This enables the boiler to operate at peak efficiency for longer periods.

What fuel savings can I expect with the Optiburner?

Based on long-term performance data, you can expect savings of 15% or more over a full year. Typical assessments indicate around 16% savings on an average 10°C winter day. While actual savings may vary depending on weather conditions, many of our clients report reductions of between 15% and 30% in their heating fuel costs.

How quickly will the Optiburner pay for itself?

On average, the Optiburner boiler optimiser pays for itself within 3 to 18 months, depending on your fuel consumption. The payback period can be even shorter in high-demand scenarios, making it a smart investment for energy-conscious businesses.

Will the Optiburner work with my existing Building Management System?

Yes, the Optiburner boiler optimiser integrates seamlessly with existing BMS setups. It works as an extension of your BMS by receiving the boiler-enabling signal and applying its own control logic. This ensures optimised performance without disrupting your current system.

How does the Optiburner work with modulating boilers?

While modulating boilers are designed for efficiency, they still consume the most gas when operating at high fire. The Optiburner boiler optimiser further refines the firing pattern, delivering additional performance improvements and fuel savings—even with advanced systems.

How does the Optiburner maintain consistent heating and hot water temperatures?

The Optiburner boiler optimiser uses intelligent algorithms to maintain consistent temperatures across your system. During commissioning or after a significant temperature drop, it allows full boiler cycles to reach the target temperature. It then monitors flow temperature every 4 seconds and fires the boiler immediately if demand increases or water temperature falls below the set point.

Will installing the Optiburner affect my boiler's warranty?

No, it doesn't require any modifications to your boiler, so it won't affect your existing warranty.

Does the Optiburner require regular servicing?

The Optiburner is a solid-state electronic device that doesn't require regular servicing. However, we provide clear instructions for your regular boiler service engineers to ensure they can work around the Optiburner effectively.

How long does the Optiburner installation take?

Installation typically takes about an hour and doesn't significantly disrupt your boiler's regular operation. The electrical connections usually take 10-15 minutes, during which time your boiler will only lose minimal heat.

What warranty does the Optiburner come with?

Optiburner provides a five-year warranty on the Optiburner. In the unlikely event of a problem, we will replace the unit.
