Improving the Efficiency of Combustion in Kenana Boilers by Analyzing Flue Gases

Abstract

The efficiency of a heating appliance or application is dependent on the efficiency of the combustion process. Complete combustion with the appropriate flame is necessary to release the maximum amount of energy available. The efficiency of combustion is affected by the ratio of air to fuel, the degree of atomization of liquid fuels, the degree of air and fuel mixing that takes place in the combustion zone, the flame shape, temperature and speed. The setting of these variables requires skill and instrumentation. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of gas analyzer in Kenana boilers combustion efficiency to increase combustion efficiency reducing fuel consumption and improving boiler environment gases. In Kenana boilers all boilers running without gas analyzers in this case combustion control so difficult beside that is not possible to know boiler efficiency, so the study was showed Kenana combustion control and made new control depending upon gas analyzer. The result recommended installing gas analyzer for combustion control optimization.
