modulating fire. Varying the firing rate as the load varies. This results in longer burner operation because the firing rate is lowered as temperature or pressure builds up toward the cutoff point. It decreases on-off operation and increases the efficiency of the system. 2, record 7, English, - modulating%20fire

There are four widely used operating configurations for gas fired appliances :modulating fire, on-off, hi-low, and multi-stage firing. Modulating fire is accomplished by mechanically varying the size of the gas admittance opening of one or more special "modulating" gas valves. With the gas valve completely open the boiler fires at it's full fire rate. The unit is said to be at "full turndown" when it fires at it's lowest firing rate. The "turndown ratio" is the ratio of full fire rate to full turndown firing rate and is a function of boiler design. A turn down ratio of 5 : 1 would indicate that a boiler is capable of a full turndown firing rate of 20%(5 : 1(100% fire : 20% fire). 3, record 7, English, - modulating%20fire

Les brûleurs de gaz à air soufflé Piroil sont fournis sous forme monobloc, précâblés et prêts pour le fonctionnement. Construits pour une puissance thermique de 30.000 à 2.5000.000 Kcal/h dans les versions suivantes: une allure, deux allures, progressifs [...] Fonctionnement. Le cycle de travail prévoit au démarrage une période de prébalayage de la chambre de combustion avec le clapet d'air complètement ouvert, et obtenue à l'aide du servomoteur. Durant cette période l'éléctrovanne est fermée. À la fin de cette phase, avec le clapet d'air et le manchon gaz positionnés à une valeur minimale par le servomoteur, l'électrovanne gaz est excitée et le transformateur pourvoit à l'allumage du gaz au débit minimum. À ce moment, après avoir obtenu le consentement de présence de flamme par l'électrode d'ionisation, la boîte de contrôle met en marche le servomoteur air-gaz qui porte le brûleur, progressivement, dans un délai préétabli, à sa puissance maximale. Le brûleur reste en ces conditions de travail jusqu'à atteindre la température maximale, après cela, toujours thermostatiquement, à l'aide du servomoteur, on stabilise la puissance à un régime minimal, jusqu'à la demande de chaleur par la chaudière, qui peut être réétablie avec une modulation successive, sans pourtant interrompre complètement le fonctionnement. 2, record 7, French, - allure%20progressive
