Hello,

 

I am carrying out some experiments on a small scale fired gas burner with a gas gas heat exchanger at the top. I alter the biogas rate and in some other experiments I alter the air flow rate in the heat exchanger. 

I have realised that efficiency varies widely from 35-70% depending on the air flow and biogas flow.

 

For example as air flow increases (keeping fuel constant), efficiency increases.

What sort of efficiency does a manufacturer indicates in the specifications? Max, Min or Average?

 

Regards

 

Andreas

If what you state is true, then your starting air flow is insufficient to burn all the fuel. And this is not a safe operation.

Bobby, I am sorry,I wasn´t clear. I meant the air flow to the heat exchanger.

My system is a fired gas heater with a heat exchanger at the top

You have asked a lot of questions about your project. It's about time you provided a sketch or better if you continue to have questions.
