Combustion Diagram

They are a very valuable tool for controlling combustion, since from the composition of the gas and fumes you can determine the type of combustion that is taking place and have a technical criterion to adjust the process and make it more efficient.

What this diagram seeks is to obtain a  = 1 through the air-fuel mixture .

The orange stripe will indicate the boiler's operating range.

Smoke Temperature (St) / Ambient Temperature (At)

The room temperature is measured with the room thermocouple, otherwise it is taken from the smoke probe in phase 0.

The flue gas temperature depends on the boiler technology.

What is a Combustion Gas Analyzer?

Just as doctors use equipment to monitor people's health, combustion technicians use flue gas analyzers to monitor equipment such as furnaces and boilers.

A combustion gas analyzer is a robust piece of equipment that monitors the gases generated in the combustion processes. This will help you know how efficient your process is and how many emissions it is generating.

Combustion gas analyzers are equipment capable of measuring the exact amount of each of these gases that can be toxic to humans and can become explosive in their work environment.

They serve us for environmental control, combustion gas analyzers determine how much fuel is being burned properly and tells us what the efficiency of combustion is, what combustion components are not being burned and also monitor compliance with national and regional standards.

It helps us as indicators in saving fuel, depending on each combustion process, between 20% and 50% of fuel can be lost in the chimney. Combustion gas analyzers help determine the efficiency of the fuel that is having in the process.

Carbon Dioxide CO 2

Gas analyzers calculate from the measured O 2 and the stoichiometric (or maximum) CO 2 specific to each fuel, which is why they manage a maximum CO 2 when turning on the analyzer.
