Burner Tuning

(OP)
Hello 2 all
Can you please quote me any good web link regarding boiler burner tuning to improve combustion efficiency.

These guys will analyze the O2 content in your stack gases.  Also use an in-situ NDIR monitor for CO/CO2, Particulates,etc.  

RE: Burner Tuning

I have used a hand held CO analyzer in the stack to tune the burner.  Its pretty easy to play with air and gas until you get minimum CO in the stack, which is the most complete combustion.

RE: Burner Tuning

Both the stack draft and the burner air quantity affect the combustion efficiency by working on the same variable - the combustion air and also affect each other. So you have to adjust both simultaneously to get the right draft with the optimum CO in the flue gas. There is an article in Hydrocarbon Processing May 2006. Vol.85 No.5 page91 titled Optimizing O2 levels in fired heaters - by S. Patel which gives a simple method to do this.
Best wishes
