COMBUSTION
Visual observation Combustion
Factors effecting Exhaust smoke
Stack gas testing CO2 vs CO
C + O2 -> CO2 + 14,100 BTU/lbm carbon
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O + 61,100 BTU/lbm hydrogen
S + O2 -> SO2 + 4,000 BTU/lbm sulfur
------------------------------- 2C + O2 -> 2CO + 3,960

ATOMIZERS
Rated by turn down ratio Turndown Ratio = Max oil flow /
Min oil flow Turndown Ratio = (Max
pressure / Min pressure).5
IE: FO pump output 300 psi, min pressure for atomization is 100 psi
Turndown ratio = (300/100).5 = 1.732
Steam and Air Best adjustment (turndown ratio) Uses steam that cannot be
recovered No fuel returns Steam & fuel both supplied FO supply pressures vary 8 to
350 psi
Pressure jet atomizer One or more atomizers used
to adjust firing rate of boiler Poor turndown ratio, as
pressure decreases, nozzle spray cone increases in angle
Rotary Cup Burner is spun by electric
motor Fuel is sprayed into inside of
cup, centrifugal force against cup walls
“fine spray” Good turn down ratio, not
best

BOILER OPERATIONS
Flame Peephole in furnace Color of flame
Incomplete combustion Dirty injectors Dirty boiler fuel tips Improper fuel temperature/pressure Excess air, pushes heat up stack Controlled by stack gas analysis (excess air and CO)
Smoke Black Smoke
Insufficient air Dirty burner Burner/injector tips wrong size Poor fuel atomization (check temperature & pressure)
White Smoke – unburned fuel particles in exhaust along with water vapor Excess air Bright white flame
Brown Haze – indicates good combustion Golden flame
Clear Stack – possible excess air
