Thisbalance is ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed at <strong>the</strong> zone level by a controller that must betuned for slow, gradual action.Sudden upsets or emergency conditions are corrected by a reliefdamper if <strong>the</strong> suction pressure is high (low vacuum) and a makeupdamper if it is low (high vacuum). Between <strong>the</strong>se limits, both dampersare closed and <strong>the</strong> suction pressure is allowed to float.Heat Balance <strong>Control</strong>Heat balance requires multi-variable envelope control s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong>number of controlled variables is greater than <strong>the</strong> number of availablemanipulated variables.
