When evaluating a boiler system, conversations often center around efficiency, turndown ratios, controls, and operating costs. While these factors are undoubtedly important, there is another consideration that can have a significant impact on both facility operations and technician safety: serviceability.

In our previous two blog posts, we have taken a deep dive into Patterson-Kelley’s NURO® touchscreen control system. More specifically, the innovative and cost saving features and that separate it from other boiler controls in the industry. In this part of the [Patterson-Kelley NURO® Control System](https://www.pattersonkelley.com/solutions/controls/nuro/)series, we take a look at the upcoming iteration of the NURO®, the NURO® 2.0, and all of the capabilities it will offer our end users.

Short cycling occurs when a boiler powers down before being able to complete a typical boiler cycle and is called upon to satisfy a second call for heat, in quick succession. A typical boiler cycle consists of firing, post purge, idle period, pre-purge and then back to firing. Boiler short cycling can be seen in two critical areas; mechanical and economic.
In this blog, we discuss how this affects the boiler and how we can mitigate short cycling and losses incurred from it.
