Maximizing combustion efficiency<br />

Challenge # 3<br />

Cool air/ Too much<br />

air<br />

which lowers combustion<br />

temperatures… which<br />

decreases efficiency…<strong>And</strong><br />

increases smoke<br />

Note: an open fire can draw 20<br />

times more than is required for<br />

stochiometric (chemically<br />

ideal) combustion<br />

Solution ?<br />

Do not allow too much or<br />

too little air to enter the<br />

combustion chamber.<br />

there should be the<br />

minimum excess of air<br />

supporting clean burning.
