demonstrate both the output and heat rate guarantees. The other
1.004
method is to use a ∆7 correction, which allows the addition of
1.000 power output and fuel heat input to the test results to account
0.996 for the additional firing from the duct burner. If the correction

The ambient relative humidity correction curves for α3 and For example, if the maximum duct burner duty is 550
ω3 are shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. Unlike the ambient MMBtu/hr (LHV), correction curves could be developed at 500
temperature correction curves, the relative humidity correction MMBtu/hr (LHV) where no equipment limits exist throughout
curve at hotter ambient temperatures is less affected by the duct the ambient temperature range. Figure 12 shows the correction
firing limitation. This is because at 110 °F fixed ambient factor of delta output versus delta heat input. For a delta heat
temperature; the duct burner duty is almost constant at various input of 50 MMBtu/hr (LHV), the ∆7 output adjustment will be
relative humidities. Therefore, the correction factor is similar to approximately 6.2 MW. However, as PTC 46 has pointed out,
that of same ambient temperature with constant duct firing. the ∆7 correction is for small differences between required and
actual unit operating disposition. The adjustment in this case
