19.2.3 Lambda
factor
The system calculates the lambda factor from the O
2
ratio value, the O
2
setpoint and
the required air rate reduction (standardized value to attain the O
2
setpoint). The
lambda factor reflects the ratio of the actual lambda change and the theoretical lambda
change, in relation to a change of the air rate.
With an ideal burner, a relative air rate reduction of 10 % produces a
lambda change of
λ

corresponding to a lambda factor of 1.
Example:
If the amount of gas is influenced by the fan pressure, a reduction of the air volume can
simultaneously lead to an increase in the amount of gas. In practice, this results in a
more pronounced change of the lambda value. If the change of lambda value is twice
the theoretical value, an air rate change of 10 % produces
a value of

, corresponding to a lambda factor of 2.
From the lambda values of the ratio curve, the setpoint curve and the standardized
value (required air ratio reduction), the lambda factor is calculated as follows:

The system should be adjusted such that the lambda factor across the load range will
be as flat as possible. In the future, this can be checked with the ACS450 PC tool.
Without the tool, the lambda factors can be calculated according to the above formula
to be entered in a graph.
