Burner control

Two-stage burner control is: ‘…a type of control that offers two distinct boiler firing rates.’

Multi-stage burner control is: ‘…a type of control that offers more than two distinct firing rates, but without continuous adjustment between firing rates.’

Modulating burner control is: ‘…a type of control that provides a continuously variable firing rate, which is altered to match the boiler load over the whole turndown ratio.’
