Turn down ratio of a burner____________________?

Correct answer: C. Is the ratio of maximum to minimum permissible heat input rates

  • A. Should be as low as possible i.e., 1 : 2
  • B. Should be 1:1 for a batch type furnace
  • C. Is the ratio of maximum to minimum permissible heat input rates
  • D. Is normally much more for a continuous furnace as compared to a batch furnace

Explanation

Burner turn-down ratio is defined as the maximum permissible heat-input rate divided by the minimum stable permissible heat-input rate. A larger ratio indicates that the burner can operate over a wider firing range.
