In modulating burners, the gas flow can follow the air flow via a gas-air ratio regulator.

Air reference signal

The pressure from the fan, venturi, or combustion chamber is used as a reference so that the gas valve modulates the flow accordingly.

Goal

To maintain a constant and correct air-gas ratio throughout the entire modulation range.

Impulse lines

The lines carrying the pressure signals must remain clean, airtight, and free of condensate.

Adjustment

The final ratio is verified using a flue gas analyzer at low, medium, and high fire.
