Consider a case study of a longtime PCC controls customer:<\/p>\n<p>Preferred Utilities has been supporting this facility in New York since 1988 with our PCC II and III loop controllers. This site installed one PCC-IV and is now considering this next generation of upgrade, the PCC-IV, in their plant with four (4) 50kpph boilers, each with steam, gas, and oil flow meters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-552 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1-624x361.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/albany1-1.jpg 965w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 1988, the facility installed 16 PCC-IIs and 5 control panels, plus field instruments for a burner\/controls upgrade. Almost 10 years later in 1997, they updated the system with the purchase and installation of\u00a017 PCC-IIIs. In 2002, they decided to upgrade again and add O2 trim. Satisfied with the Preferred product, they installed 21 of the PCC-III units.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in 2017, the plant installed a PCC-IV in parallel with one of the PCC-III controls to observe the performance and is considering upgrading the rest of the PCC-II and PCC-III controls. With the auto-converting functionality of the PCC-IV, the existing PCC-III programs can be re-used without modification and re-programming.<\/p>\n<p>Preferred Utilities is pleased to offer generations of quality products that age gracefully and come with a pledge of full service support and solutions for upgrades in the future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_550\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-550\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-550 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv1-234x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"234\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv1-234x300.png 234w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv1.png 363w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PCC-IV Loop Controller Front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-551\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-551 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.preferred-mfg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thepyroscope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pcc-iv2.png 501w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PCC-IV Loop Controller internal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PCC-IV loop controller is the next generation of Preferred\u2019s loop controllers AND upgraded technology for the entire industry.
