THE COMTHERM ON-LINE TECHNICAL MANUAL

COMBUSTION

Modern combustion plant needs to operate with maximum possible fuel efficiency and minimum effect on the natural environment.

In order to ensure optimum economy and performance it is essential to have a good understanding of the combustion of fuels.

This section of the Technical web site provides information with with regard to the grading of fuels and the general properties of gases.

Data covering the classification of gases into families that are subdivided into groups is provided.

The importance of specific gravity and calorific value and their affects on combustion and heat flow, is explained.

A description of the process of combustion chemistry is given and specific items such as 'limits of flammability' and 'flame speed' are discussed.

In the interest of health and the natural environment 'Combustion Quality' has to be checked and even monitored, so a description of the factors and standards used to quantify and measure quality performance is provided.

It is essential to keep fuel consumption to a minimum, so information with regard to the factors that govern and measure process and combustion efficiency is included.
