  • Page 2 1930’s, Bacharach has been the global leader in the manufacture of portable combustion test- ing analyzers and environmental monitors. Beginning with the introduction of our low cost CO Indicator Kit in 1935, Bacharach engineers have pioneered the state of the art combustion instrumenta- tion.
  • Page 3 We have attempted to answer every question as thoroughly and clearly as possible. If you have further questions about how Bacharach can help you to maintain efficient, safe, enviro n m e n t a l l y sound combustion equipment operations, please call Bacharach at 412-963-2000 or send e-mail to: help@bacharach-inc.com.
  • Page 4 Chart 1 CA-3 I’ve always just eyeballed the flame. Is it really important to do combustion testing? Looking at the flame color, shape and stability has been used as a “rule of thumb” for many years but eyeballing will not allow you to opti- mize the efficiency, safety, or environmental compliance of your equipment.
  • Page 5 CA-7 I know that O , CO, CO smoke can tell me a lot about combustion. How do they all relate to efficiency? Theoretically, peak fuel efficiency is achieved by “per- fect” combustion, also called the Stoichiometric Mix (see charts #2 and #3). If it were possible to have perfect combustion, CO would be maximized and O would be at, or close to,...
  • Page 6 Typical draft overfire measurements* (0.02 inches H and flue draft measurements** (0.04 to 0.06 inches O) insure that there is continuous negative pressure in the combustion system. Excess draft will increase your stack temperature and decrease your combustion efficiency. It is important to measure draft on the chimney side, well d o w n s t ream from a draft divert e r.

  • Page 8 CS-3 How can I prevent Carbon Monoxide poisoning? The best way to prevent Carbon Monoxide poisoning is to make sure that your combustion equipment is func- tioning properly. Combustion air openings (vents, flues, exhausts and ducts) must be kept open, clean and free of blockages such as dirt, dust, lint and trash.
  • Page 9 CS-8 How do I check for a cracked heat exchanger? Visual inspection of the heat exchanger should always be done first. It may not be possible with visual inspec- tion alone to make sure that the heat exchanger has no cracks or pinhole leaks caused by corrosion.
  • Page 10 EC-3 What is the difference in NO and NO gases? Nitric oxide (NO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO toxic gases which constitute NO processes can produce NO emissions contribute to the formation of acids in the earth’s lower atmosphere; these acids contribute to the formation of acid rain.
  • Page 11 T E C H N O L O G Y TC-1 I’ve always been able to get along by eyeballing the flame. Why should I use a mechanical or electronic instrument? As amazing as the human eye is, it is not capable of per- forming quantitative analysis of changing colors in widely varying surroundings and situations.
