Upon a call for heat, the pilot is automatically expanded so as to reliably ignite the main burner. This pilot may be turned down automatically at the end of main burner flame-establishing period.
Industry:Energy
A velocity measuring device in which the flow is parallel to the rotor axis and the speed of rotation is proportional to the rate of flow. The volume of gas measured is determined by the revolutions of the rotor and converting them to a continuously totalized volumetric reading.
Industry:Energy
Contract provisions which allow price redetermination at specified times or conditions at prices prevailing in the area, or at market prices.
Industry:Energy
