Abstract

A control system for a fluid-fuel burner, such as a furnace for an HVAC system. The furnace has a variable flow of fuel into the burner. In addition, the circulating air blower is also variable. The furnace heat exchanger plenum is maintained at a substantially constant temperature, as a means for providing substantially constant temperature air to the spaces to be heated.
