What is combustion?

ANASTASI - Hydronic & Thermal Eequipment - FAQ
Combustion is a chemical reaction of oxidation in which a FUEL (wood) is combined with an ACCELERANT (air) developing heat and light (THERMAL REACTION). A good combustion is obtained when air (rich in oxygen) is mixed in correct proportion with wood.

What are combustion pollutants?

MyMonroe. Opening Up Government. | Monroe County, NY
They include gases or particles that come from the burning of fuels—natural gas, propane, wood, oil, gasoline, kerosene and coal. The resulting harmful gases include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, acid aerosols, particulate and excess water vapor. See similar questions...

Back to TopWhat is good combustion?

John Zink: JZ Burner Parts & Service
Good combustion can be the subject of an entire book -- and is the thesis of The John Zink Combustion Handbook. Generally, 'good' combustion is combustion that allows the process unit to achieve its objectives, day in and day out over the long term in an environmentally acceptable way.

What are Advanced Combustion Wood Fireplaces?

Northwest Stoves Ltd. - Frequently Asked Questions
These high efficiency fireplaces were originally designed in Canada in the early eighties. For more information see: See similar questions...

How can I reduce the risk from combustion gases?

MyMonroe. Opening Up Government. | Monroe County, NY
The most important practice is to keep all combustion equipment well maintained and inspected for safety. Experts recommend having your combustion heating system inspected by a trained professional every year. Look for blocked openings to flues and chimneys, cracked or disconnected flue pipe, sooty air filter, rust or cracks in the heat exchanger, soot or creosote build-up, and exhaust or gas odors. See similar questions...

How do combustion pollutants get into the home?

MyMonroe. Opening Up Government. | Monroe County, NY
Combustion pollutants enter the home from a variety of sources. Any heating appliance that burns fuels—furnaces, boilers, water heaters, fireplaces, stoves, space heaters, ranges and clothes dryers—may introduce combustion gases. These pollutants are also produced by tobacco smoking, burning of candles, automobile exhaust entering from a garage, and activities involved in the use of the internal combustion engines, burning, welding or soldering. See similar questions...

Why should I be concerned about combustion pollutants?

MyMonroe. Opening Up Government. | Monroe County, NY
Carbon monoxide, an odorless gas can be fatal. Nitrogen oxides can damage the respiratory tract and sulfur dioxide can irritate the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. Smoke and other particulate irritate the eyes, nose and throat and may cause lung cancer. Too much water vapor can lead to moisture problems in the home, including the growth of mold. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that interferes with the delivery of oxygen throughout the body. See similar questions...

How much carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of 1000 cubic feet of natural gas?

Frequently Asked Global Change Questions
If we start with 1000 cubic feet of natural gas (and assuming it is pure methane or CH4) at STP (standard temperature and pressure, i.e., temperature of 273&#176K = 0&#176C = 32&#176F and pressure of 1 atm = 14.7 psia = 760 torr), and burn it completely, here's what we come up with: Since 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at STP, 28316.85 L of CH4 contains 28316.85/22.4 = 1264.145 moles of CH4 (each mole of CH4 = approx. 16 g) One mole of CO2 has a mass of approx. 44 g, so 1264.

What combustion products are given off?

Rhodia Proban
Chemical analysis of the combustion products of PROBAN® treated fabrics has shown the components are not significantly different from those produced by the combustion of untreated cotton fabrics. See similar questions...

What can we do to prevent air pollution from combustion processes?

FAQ Air treatment
During incomplete combustion of a fuel, air pollutants can be released. Many of these pollutants cause environmental problems. An example of an air pollutant that is emitted during combustion processes is sulphur dioxide. To prevent this problem we can switch over to fuels that contain less to no sulphur. We have been reviewing this problem for quite some time now and we have already switched on to natural gas instead of fuel oil for energy conversion, in most cases. See similar questions...

What are the by-products of combustion of Veritas ResinArt Panels?

Veritas - FAQs
Veritas ResinArt Panels are comprised almost entirely of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules (> 99.9 wt%). When incinerated or burned in the presence of sufficient oxygen to fully balance the combustion reaction, the products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water. See similar questions...

How far back from the combustion chamber will the device work?

Super Fuel Saver
We have installations in which the Super FuelSaver is working well at three feet from the combustion chamber. See similar questions...

What is the difference between catalytic converters and secondary combustion?

Frequently Asked Questions - Top-Quality Insulation & Fi...
A catalytic converter is a device through which wood smoke is channeled. It lowers the combustion temperature of the gases, allowing them to be consumed at lower firing. Secondary combustion mixes air with the exhaust gases, causing them to re-ignite and burn before going up the chimney. See similar questions...

Can I get DOF PRO for After Effects, Combustion or Shake?

Depth Of Field Generator PRO - FAQ
While we have received numerous requests for such ports, they are very difficult to produce without a complete rewrite of the software. Although we are looking into 3rd parties interested in developing a port for us, we cannot promise anything at this point. If you feel you can help us do a port, we would love to hear from you. Please email Richard Rosenman using the contact button at the bottom. See similar questions...

back to top What does chemical treatment or combustion mean?

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical treatment or combustion is the controlled burning of waste materials to create heat that destroys the waste and produces heat energy ash. The volume of waste is reduced in size by 90%. The ash is often taken to an ash landfill for disposal; sometimes it is used in road construction. Metals are removed from the ash with a magnet and delivered to a recycler. The heat produced by the combustion process is used to boil water, which produces steam. See similar questions...

QUESTION: How do I know if my contractor is a Certified CO Combustion Analyst?

Freier Electric & Heating - CO Detectors
ANSWER: You can ask to see his NCI wallet card plus you will recognize his level of expertise and ability to explain to you what he is doing. See similar questions...

How can I determine if combustion gases are affecting my health?

MyMonroe. Opening Up Government. | Monroe County, NY
They may be the culprits if you feel bad only when you’re inside the home and the symptoms disappear when you leave or if more than one person in the home has similar symptoms.A noticeable increase in moisture, like excessive condensation on windows, can also be a sign. Remember carbon monoxide related symptoms are similar to those of flu. Carbon monoxide detectors can be purchased and installed to alert you to dangerous levels. See similar questions...

How much combustion air is required in cubic feet per hour??

Mart Tech Services - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The amount of air required by the gas combustion burner on the Tornado 60 Washing machine. This machine was shipped with a 380,000 BTU/hour capable burner. The amount of air required to burn natural gas is a fixed amount. Adding in about 3% excess air for safe combustion the rule of thumb is that it takes 10 cubic feet of air for every cubic foot of gas. Unless you know the BTU/cubic foot of natural gas in your area another rule of thumb is to use 1000 BTU/cubic foot. See similar questions...
