Design for Part Load Operation

Many systems are designed to run most efficiently when running at full capacity, but in reality may only occasionally operate under such conditions. The system should therefore be designed to run most efficiently under the conditions that it is to be used most often, and where appropriate should be designed to operate efficiently over a range of conditions.
