ThisvalueislearnedwhentheO


8. FuelRate–Thisisthepercentageofhighfirefuelflowandisalsoreferredtoasthefiringrate.This
isalsothesameasthe"Load"numberseenduringRatioControlCurvecommissioning.Fora10‐to‐
1turndownburner,highfirewouldbe100%andlowfirewouldbe10%.Fora4‐to‐1 turndown
burner,highfirewouldbe100%andlowfirewouldbe25%.For
O

trimsystems,itisvery
importantthatthefuelrate(loadnumber)matches theactualfuelflowtotheburnerwithin+/‐3%.

9. AirRate‐WhennoO
2
trimistakingplace(runningonRatioControlCurve),theairrateisthesame
asthefuelrate.Thisisalsoknownastheairflow.Forexample,a10‐to‐1turndownburnerrunning
atPoint5ontheRatioControlCurvewillhaveafuelrateof50%andanairrateof50%.IftheO
2

trimisengagedandtheO
2
sensorreadsvalueshigherthansetpoint,theairratewillbereduced
relativetothefuelrateuntilthesetpointisachieved.

10. StandardizedValue‐ThisisapercentagereductionoftheairrateandisusedwhentheO
2
Control
Curveisbeingset.Forexample,iftheairrateis50%,andaStandardizedValueof10%isentered,
theairratewillbereducedto45%.Themathwouldbe:(50%*10%=5%),then(50%‐5%)=45%.

11. Pre‐Control‐Whenlargeloadchangesoccurduringmodulation,thiswille ngageandtemporarily
disabletheclosed‐loopO
2
trim.Thistemporary"open‐loop"trimisbasedonusingacorrect
LambdaFactortopredicthowtheburnerwillreactwhenmodulating.Pre‐controlisnecessaryfor
burnerswheretheO

setpointisnotconstantfromlowfiretohighfire.
