The pressure curves refer to the different adjustment conditions for the combustion head. Refer to Paragraph 5.1.
InIn the case of air supply at a higher temperature than 20°C and/or an altitude higher than 100 m. a.s.l., the pressure drop in the
head that is shown in the graph must be multiplied by the K

Example
Burnt output = 9800 kW - Altitude = 750 m. a.s.l. - Combustive air temperature = 120 °C
From the diagram (curve 3), with an output of 9800 kW, a total pressure drop (head + air damper) is shown of: p
(combustive air at 20 °C and altitude 100 m. a.s.l.).
The table gives a multiplying coefficient, for combustive air at 120 °C and altitude 750 m. a.s.l., equal to K
The total pressure drop of the burner head is p = p
