STS and LTS valve modulation
With a valve system, the demand signal simply determines how far
the valve strokes. In other words, if the system demand is 25%, the
valve strokes 25%.
GTS burner modulation
A GTS burner assembly consists of a variable speed blower, a
constant air/gas ratio modulating gas valve, and a burner. The
burner output modulates from its minimum capacity up to its
full-rated capacity. To modulate the output, Vapor-logic

controls
the combustion air blower’s speed. As the blower speed varies,
the gas valve automatically adjusts the amount of gas introduced
into the burner to maintain a constant air/gas ratio. This variable
combination of gas and air results in clean combustion over the
entire range of the burner capacity.
When system demand dictates that an individual burner must
operate below its minimum output capability, burner operation
changes from modulated to time proportioned (TP), meaning that
the burner output is kept constant while it is on, but is cycled on
and off. The burner cycle time is two minutes, and the burner on
time is determined by the system demand.
To ignite the burner, the blower is run at a speed optimized for
ignition to provide the smoothest, quietest, most reliable ignitions.
If the tank is cold, the unit runs at 100% capacity to preheat the
tank. Once the tank temperature rises above 190 °F (88 °C), the
burner output is determined by system demand. In a multiple
burner system, one burner is always operating when there is
demand, while the other burners may or may not be operating
depending on system demand. Once all burners are off, the
ignition order reverses upon re-ignition to maintain even wear on
combustion system components.
