AI Explanation
A) operating at low steaming rates is the correct answer. In a regenerative air heater, air is bypassed around the heater when the boiler is operating at low steaming rates. This is done to maintain the proper air-to-fuel ratio and ensure efficient combustion when the boiler is not running at full capacity. The other answer choices are not directly related to the operation of a regenerative air heater.
