The Goldilocks Zone of Combustion

Operating your burner with excess fuel typically results in a luminous, lazy flame, indicating inefficient combustion and potentially leading to higher operational costs and increased emissions. It's crucial to adjust the fuel-to-air ratio for optimal combustion efficiency.

This will reduce your available heat drastically

When a burner operates with excess air, it produces a light blue flame that becomes less luminous as the air content increases. This condition reflects an efficient combustion process but can lead to energy inefficiency if not optimally balanced, as excess air can cool the flame and reduce the system's overall thermal efficiency.

Excess air burner allow you to reduce your emissions if designed and tuned properly

Discovering the "sweet spot" in burner operation is key to achieving optimal combustion efficiency. When the flame is intense blue and almost conical in shape, you've successfully balanced the fuel-to-air ratio. This indicates efficient combustion, maximizing energy use while minimizing emissions and fuel consumption.

You are at the most sought-after tuning setting if you need to set the burner up for 10:1 or 11:1 air to fuel ratio.
