Boiler Controller with Fan & Pump AC Motor Speed Control
An existing customer was using our SmartFan Nimbus AC motor speed control to regulate fan speed in their electronic design and manufacturing solution for a boiler controller. The boiler controller consisted of 9 separate parts that needed to be mounted and wired together, an expensive and time-consuming task.
A sample of their boiler controller was sent to CRI for evaluation. Our electronic design and manufacturing engineers were able to eliminate 6 parts and still provide all needed functionality in a reduced-size boiler controller with AC motor speed control as shown below. The customer was thrilled that our electronic design and manufacturing engineers were able to eliminate the expensive labor, cables, and parts. Pricing came in at a fraction of the previous boiler controller with an AC motor speed control design.

Custom Electronic Design & Manufacturing Optimization
Redesigned Boiler Controller with AC Motor Speed Control
Control Resources electronic design and manufacturing engineers were able to reduce complexity and cost by:
- Combining 6 separate parts into a single AC motor speed control
- Eliminating wiring complexity
- Creating a simple user settable programming menu
- Reducing AC motor speed control depth from 9″ to 3.5″
- All at close to a 50% cost savings
