• P share, I share, D share are added up and serve as adjustments to the firing rate default
of the fuel/air ratio control.
• As long as the actual value is below setpoint, P term and I term are positive, that is to say
both of these terms will increase the firing rate default.
• In such a case only D term has a negative value (assuming that boiler temperature is ris-
ing). Use D term carefully because it leads to a higher burden for the actuating elements.
• In order to avoid excessive overshoot during burner start-up adjust parameters to achieve
a suitably large D term.
• If despite a large setpoint deviation the burner is not run at full or base firing rate you
should increase the P term.
• The longer you select the adjustment time the calmer the fuel/air ratio control. However,
this also increases the actual values’ deviation from setpoint value and leads to slower ad-
justment.
Adjustment of the values according to the controlled system is highly recommended.
