warm the boiler.The settings are similar to method b, but now parameter
MaxTmeModissettohaveaneffect(10minutes forexample).Whenthisisdone,the
maximum time that a step‐up in load will take is 10
minutes, regardless of the
temperature change.If the temperature change defined by StageSetp_Mod happens
beforethe10minuteselapses,thenthetemperaturechangewilltriggerthestep‐upin
load.
When this mode is used, time usually triggers the load steps at the start of boiler
warming and temperature change usually triggers the load steps closer to the
ThresholdOff temp
erature. This is due to the more rapid rise in boiler temperature at
higherfiringrates.
