It’s stressful enough when your boiler isn’t working well, let alone when you don’t know why. Not only do most biomass boiler brands lack ETA’s efficiency, they also don’t have diagnostics or sophisticated analysis software.

That means you might know that something’s wrong, but you don’t know what. If you don’t know what the problem is, you can’t fix it, and you spend frustrating time and money trying to identify the problem: 

• Making multiple calls to customer support 
• Arranging visit after visit from engineers 
• Testing, retesting, and replacing components 
• Continually checking and adjusting settings 
• Constantly questioning fuel quality 

Anyone trying to fix a boiler without diagnostics relies on experimentation, testing, and guesswork, and not all engineers have the tools, the time, or the ability to identify and resolve the issue. 

So, how can you measure the performance of your biomass boiler? 

IDRIS —EFFICIENCY DIAGNOSTICS FOR BIOMASS BOILERS

If you can measure it, you can manage it. 

The Innasol Data Recording and Information System (IDRIS) monitors the performance of any biomass boiler that runs on wood chips or pellets. 

IDRIS can monitor a wood chip or pellet biomass boiler 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It can measure up to 120 performance indicators, which means easy analysis for optimisation or repair.

• Patented Innasol fuel usage sensor 
• Professional Analysis software 
• Touch screen displaying precise data for fuel input and heat output 
• Sensors capturing all the key operating data of a biomass system 

WHAT DOES IDRIS DO?

IDRIS diagnoses the weaknesses in your biomass boiler system, and takes the guesswork out of repairs and optimisation. It reports live system data so that you can identify faults and performance shortfalls, and easily keep your boiler running effectively and efficiently. 

Typical faults and weaknesses that IDRIS can identify: 

• Lower heat output than advertised 
• Inefficient heat usage 
• Underperforming components 
• System setup issues 
• Poor heat distribution 
• Excessive fuel consumption 
• Intermittent or hidden issues 

Don’t let your boiler’s performance stay a mystery — get on top of its efficiency with diagnostics and performance data.

‘Since the upgrades to the heating system have been completed, I have seen a vast improvement in how the whole system works. We have also seen a very considerable decrease in the amount of fuel used.’  – Richard Parrott, Cawarden Brick & Tile Co Limited 

‘We had constant issues with not being able to get adequate hot water temperatures in the Manor house, we didn’t know where the issue was and our biomass installer wasn’t sure either. Due to this being an intermittent issue, no one could tell us if it was our biomass boiler, fuel we were using or something in the heating distribution network in the house. After IDRIS was installed for only one month we had our answers! Now we have the information we needed to make the necessary changes to improve the system.’ – Jeremy Gibb Estate manager LRF 

‘Before IDRIS was installed the boilers were always unable to keep up with the demand from the leisure pool during peak times. After IDRIS was installed we were able to see when the boilers were struggling and make changes to allow more recovery time. Also, we were now able to see when the fuel quality was good and not so good and even when the boilers were in need of a service, this was really useful!’ – Ed Griezmann, Facilities site manager
