Description
Does your furnace take too long to reach operating temperature? Are you losing product yield due to oxidation and scale build-up? Are you wasting fuel?
These are symptoms of excess air and/or tramp air in your furnace. Excess air is that which enters the furnace through the burners, in excess of what is needed for combustion. Tramp air is that which enters the furnace through leaking seals and miscellaneous openings in the furnace. Extra air can cause longer heat-up times, product loss due to increased oxidation, and fuel waste.
As an example, let's say your furnace is designed to run at 2.2% O2 (10% excess air), and 2000°F, but is now running at 6.6% O2 (40% excess air). Because you must heat this additional air, you now require 10% more fuel to run at the same temperature.

These problems are often correctable through proper burner adjustment, furnace pressure control, or by repairing door or hearth seals.
How do you know you're addressing the relevant problem? The answer is the easy to use and cost effective Combustion 911 FLO2 Flue Gas Analyzer. This device reads the oxygen in your furnace, which is directly related to the excess air, as air contains 20.9% oxygen. Armed with the FLO2, you can pinpoint the problem, take steps to correct it, and verify the results.
If you maintain industrial furnaces, the FLO2 belongs in your toolkit!
