Losses caused by emitted heat in
exhaust gases
Burners emit hot gases which should not be above
180°C for oil heating systems and
140°C for gas heating systems.
The only possibility to reduce hot air emissions for existing
installations is to clean and service the heating system regularly.
To avoid too much excess air quantities during operation the
burner should be adjusted regularly by an expert
In addition, losses may be caused by insufficient burning of
carbon-monoxide. These gases may be measured during an
www.engine-sme.eu
emission measurement and as a rule of thumb it can be said that
losses can be up to 7% by each per cent non burned Carbon
Monoxide (CO). The plant may be easily adjusted by an expert.
