Cochran's new Eclipse joining its respected Synergy system, the Company now offers two advanced boilerhouse management systems. Each based around a simple touchscreen interface, they combine ease of use with an extensive array of monitoring and control tools that make efficient operation of your boiler and its ancillary equipment quick, simple and reliable. Eclipse is the next generation of standard boiler control. The 7 inch 'push button' touchscreen interface boasts a wide variety of on-screen controls, status indicators and a broad spectrum of optional monitoring extras. All of this, with future-proof expandability too!
Combustion control options range from electro / mechanical through to full microprocessor control systems to match both application and customer needs. Cochran supply an extensive range of fuel handling equipment to complement and help ensure that the optimum performance from the combustion and control equipment is maintained. Fuel handling equipment includes gas boosters, oil pumping and heating stations, fuel metering and instrumentation packages are available to match individual installation requirements.
Cochran Burners are available on all our ranges of boilers from new, or as an upgrade for existing burners on older boiler to improve efficiency and control.
We can offer a range of industry leading microprocessor control systems (Siemens, Autoflame, etc).
Eclipse - Maximum Control
Developed as a sister system to the advanced Synergy unit, the new Eclipse system is based on a 24 V DC powered 7” TFT 16:9, 64k colour touchscreen, with one ethernet connection and a USB port. There are 16 x Digital Inputs and 14 X Digital Outputs, plus 4 x Analogue Inputs and 4 x Analogue Outputs, with potential to expand both inputs and outputs. Substantial built-in memory, with expansion capability, helps to ensure Eclipse is secure, reliable, expandable and future-proof. Comms are based on an industrial Ethernet backbone, with a standard interface comprising RS232/485 and Modbus TCP/Profinet, with optional BACnet, Modbus Serial etc.

Synergy - Integrated Boiler Control
-
Full Integration - When describing Cochran Synergy as 'fully integrated' that's exactly what we mean!... Connectivity doesn't simply stop at the boiler panel; the core system has been developed to enable multiple boilers and external equipment to be networked into a single highly effective system using industry standard protocols. Cochran Synergy's strikingly simple operation is fully supported by clear, logical on-screen help and guidance, and is backed-up by a generic Operators' Manual that provides a comprehensive guide to operation and all the functions and buttons.
-
Optimised Schedule Control - Reduce energy consumption and boiler house manning by utilising the flexible setpoint control feature. Cochran Synergy allows the user to define setpoint profiles for a full day. Up to four different setpoints per day can then be allocated to the days of the week.
-
Optimised Plant Loading - Sequencing and integration of all the boilers and ancillary equipment is possible using the Cochran Synergy. Using the options offered it is possible to monitor and control all aspects of the boiler house plant room and optimise their operation, thus ensuring running costs are minimised and plant life is maximised.
-
Real-time Access - Cochran Synergy allows local and remote real time access which provides on-site operators and remote managers the opportunity to monitor and optimise plant settings, as well as instant access of current reports and trends.
-
Boiler House and Process Improvements - By utilising the Cochran Synergy report and trending functions managers can analyse the operation of their boiler house, as well as how it responds to events and changes in their operational processes. Costs and efficiency can be reliably evaluated and managed using process and operational data collated using the Synergy system.
-
Reduced Downtime - Through the Cochran Synergy fault logging system it is possible to quickly identify the causes of any problem and therefore repair and get back online.
-
Remote Monitoring - The Synergy interface allows remote diagnostics from off-site, including from Cochran engineering staff (with the appropriate service package) which allows quicker identification and repair of problems. It is also possible for Cochran engineers to review the data and trends of equipment in the boiler house and to provide a report on suggested improvements to optimise performance; saving money on energy costs and lengthening plant life.
-
Pre-emptive Alarms - Through it's monitoring functions Cochran Synergy allows you to set pre-emptive alarms so that minor issues are addressed before they become serious problems.
