Air/fuel Ratio Monitoring System - e-TRIM

Precision Measurement of Protective Heat Treating Atmospheres

According to DOE studies - minimizing combustion air can deliver 35% savings

Checking and tuning air/fuel ratios is one of the simplest ways to get maximum efficiency out of fossil fuel fired process heat equipment.

Graph of air/fuel readings
  • Increased burner efficiency
  • Faster ramp to heat
  • Less fuel per LOAD
  • Maximizes throughput
  • Reduce NOx & CO2
  • Increase radiant tube life

Why Air/Fuel Monitoring is Important

Excess air dilutes combustion

  • Lowers flame temperature
  • Less heat for the load
  • More heat in the exhaust gasses
  • Increase NOx

Optimum excess air for energy efficiency and pollution prevention

  • 10% excess air - yields 2% excess O2 in combustion gasses

Excess gas

  • Sooting in radiant tubes
  • Lower flame temperature
  • Unburned fuel
  • Dangerous gas emissions (higher CO)

Other benefits

  • Process repeatability
  • Maximum throughput
  • Even distribution of heat
  • Longer radiant tube life
