On-ratio control or excess air @ low fire

A burner system with modulating control gives an input that
is in proportion with the demands of the process. ANY input
between high and low fire is possible.
1. Air
The control valve 1 is in the air line. It can modulate air
flow to any position between low and high fire air.
2. Gas
The ratio regulator 2 allows the on-ratio amount of gas to
go to the burner. Low fire gas is limited by the ratio regula-
tor 2. High fire gas is limited by the manual butterfly valve
3.
Note:
The ratio regulator can be biased to give excess air at low fire
Note:
Do not use an adjustable limiting orifice (ALO) as the high
fire gas limiting valve 3. ALO's require too much pressure
drop for use in a proportional system.
