Hi,

What does CMR and MER mean ?

Thanks.

Bob
 
CMR - continous maximum rating, normally same as "rated"
MER - ? Guess "maximun emergancy rated"
 
MER - ? Guess "Maxuimun efficency rated" which could be CVWO (control valves wide open) or "best valve point" which is last valve just begining to open. CVWO would be higher load, but recomended for continiuos operation. BVP would be less than rated, but better efficeincy
