PANEL ASSEMBLY BOILER CONTROL

Boilers used in restaurant equipment are powered by gas or electricity and come in a variety of sizes and capacities to suit different operating requirements. They play an important role in many commercial kitchens providing:

Cooking - Boilers are be used to heat water or other liquids to cook food, such as pasta or vegetables.

Steaming - Boilers are used to generate steam for cooking vegetables and seafood. Espresso machines: Boilers are used in espresso machines to heat water to the optimal brewing temperature.

Cleaning - Boilers are used to heat water in dish washing equipment, steam cleaning and sanitizing machines, and for general disinfecting purposes.

Controls of all kinds are integral parts of restaurant equipment operation. A control is a switch or other device by which a machine is regulated. A control may be manual or automatically operated. An electro-mechanical control typically consists of multiple relays, timers, and/or counters wired together on an enclosure panel. Electro-mechanical control is also referred to simply as "Relay Control", which is a more accurate term since solid state electronic relays, timers, and counters are standard components. Contactors, motor and compressor starters, valves, thermostats, and other output devices are used to turn on/off motors, indicator lights, heating elements, and other components used in the equipment.
