2.1 General description
The BC3250 is a blowdown controller for steam boilers. It controls TDS (total dissolved
solids – salts in solution) by opening and closing a blowdown valve. It also controls a bottom
blowdown valve, which removes precipitated solids from the bottom of the boiler shell.
The product works by controlling the conductivity of liquids, in conjunction with a Spirax Sarco
conductivity sensor, a boiler blowdown valve or condensate dump valve.
The bottom blowdown valve is controlled by a timer.
The front panel has an LCD graphics display and five-button keypad.
An additional filter can be selected to increase the damping effect where the probe is fitted
directly in the boiler. This avoids over-frequent valve operation.
