Primary & Secondary Air in Combustion - Short #187

<p >In this short podcast, Bryan dives into a gas heating topic: primary & secondary air in combustion.</p> <p >Primary air is the air and oxygen content that enters the furnace BEFORE combustion. In older furnaces, prior to induced combustion, air was drawn in through the front. These older furnaces had adjustable shutters that we could modify to bring in more or less primary air based on our combustion analysis readings. We could also use flame color to get an idea of the CO content (yellow tips on the flames indicate higher carbon monoxide content).</p> <p >In systems like...
