German term

regeln auf

German to English Tech/Engineering
I'm a bit confused by this, here are the relevant? bits:

"MeOH wird je nach Bedarf in den Vorbrenner dosiert. Ist der Verdampfer kaelter als seine Solltemperatur so wird AUF diesen GEREGELT. Ist die Verdampfertemperatur groesser als seine Solltemperatur so wird AUF den Vorbrenner GEREGELT."
1) what is it trying to say? regeln auf =?= feeding into?
2) any proper way to say this in English?

Many thanks!
Chris

control action is applied to

Sounds to me as if the control output is switched according to the process value.

If the process value is lower than the setpoint, control action is applied to the evaporatir. If the measured temperature exceeds the setpoint, the control action is applied to the burner.

The control output is switched to ... would be another way to phrase this.

Sorry, but regulated just won't work. Simplified explanation: there are two control outputs. Depending on the process value (above or below the setpoint), the one or the other will be used (switched to).

adjusted

It seems to me it means the temperature is adjusted to the Vorbrenner
