Describe what happens when excess air enters the furnace.

What will be an ideal response?


The furnace typically operates with a little excess of air to ensure complete combustion. Modern burner design consumes 100% of the fuel with a nominal excess of 10 to 15% oxygen. Excess oxygen in the furnace is carefully controlled as it enters the secondary and primary registers. This control takes place as the fuel and primary air mix at the burner and is enhanced by adjustments on the secondary air registers mounted on the outside of the burner. Excess oxygen creates a hazardous condition in the furnace.
