Firing rate
The burner can work in two ways: low and high fire.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT
must be selected in area A (Fig. 4).
MINIMUM OUTPUT
must not be lower than the minimum limit
shown in the diagram.
NOTE:
the firing rate areas given in Fig. 4 have been reduced by 10% with
respect to the maximum range that can be reached.
Consult procedure below to refer burner operating condition in high
altitude plants.
3.7.1
Procedure to refer burner operating condition
in high altitude plants
Find the
CORRECTED BURNER CAPACITY
for the plant’s alti-
tude in chart
1
and the
CORRECTED PRESSURE
in chart
2
.
Check in the firing rate graph of the burner (Fig. 4), if the working
point defined by the values above is within the range limits.
If not, higher burner size is needed.
Note
Charts are based only on altitude variation (reference temper-
ature = 68 °F, 20 °C)
To get the combined correction in case of different air temper-
ature, a compensation of 1000 ft each 20 °F (305 m each 11
°C) is applicable (
100 ft = 2°F
).
Example
Rated capacity = 1500 MBtu/hr - Rated air pressure = 1.5” WC
Real altitude
= 3000 ft - Real temperature = 88 °F
= 88 °F - 68 °F (reference temp.) = 20 °F
(equivalent 1000 ft variation)
20 : 2 = 10 x 100 = 1000 ft
Proceeding as descripted above and considering a “virtual altitude”
of (3000 + 1000) ft:
–
1500 MBtu/hr at 4000 ft, the corrected capacity is 1713 MBtu/hr
–
1.5” WC at 4000 ft, the corrected burner air pressure is 1.71
Reference conditions:
–
Ambient temperature 68 °F (20 °C)
–
Barometric pressure 394” WC (1000 mbar)
–
Altitude 328 ft a.s.l. (100 m a.s.l.).

WARNING
The firing rate area values have been obtained con-
sidering an ambient temperature of 68 °F, and an
atmospheric pressure of 394” WC and with the
combustion head adjusted as shown at page 18.
