defining the control and ratio control fundamentals feed forward control, feed forward plus feed back control, cascade control and ratio control and how they are implemented in boiler control. Also reviewed are control concepts proportional controls, proportional plus reset control, and proportional plus reset, plus derivative controlling what they are and how they are used. Flame detection methods are covered including the advantages of each method.
