ABSTRACT:
In a heating system containing twinned furnaces capable of independently operating at multiple levels, a method for providing multiple heating modes to satisfy a required heating load during a given cycle, there being some total number of heating modes, wherein each heating mode may be activated for a time interval whose length is a function of furnace activity during the most recent previous cycle. The method comprises the steps of: determining the existence of a heating load to be satisfied; operating both furnaces independently at levels appropriate to a first heating mode for a first time interval that does not exceed a first predetermined limit; for each subsequent heating mode up to a number of one less than the total number of heating modes, operating both furnaces independently at levels appropriate to each subsequent heating mode for a subsequent time interval that does not exceed a subsequent predetermined limit; and operating both furnaces independently at levels appropriate to a final heating mode for a final time interval until the heating load is satisfied; calculating a thermal load requirement, as a function of all of the time intervals; and predetermining all of the predetermined time intervals for a next cycle, from the calculated thermal load requirement.
