Excess air above the optimum raises the flue gas loss because it

  • A.reduces the temperature at which the fuel ignites
  • B.increases the moisture content of the flue gas
  • C.lowers the calorific value of the fuel
  • D.adds mass that is heated and then discarded

Answer: D

Correct answer: adds mass that is heated and then discarded

Every kilogram of excess air is drawn in cold, heated to flue gas temperature by the fuel, and then thrown up the stack still hot. It contributes nothing to combustion and carries away energy in proportion to its mass, which is why trimming the excess air to the least that still burns the fuel cleanly is the first move in any boiler audit.
