Combustion Efficiency Test whether gas or fuel oil, our representative will make an appointment with your facilities manager to perform a complete energy efficiency test of your heating boiler with our update to date testing equipment. 

Combustion efficiency testing tells you how far boiler efficiency drifts away from the best efficiency that you can achieve when the boiler is fully tuned up.  While the combustion efficiency test does not give the overall efficiency of the boiler plant, it is by far the easiest method of tracking moment-to-moment, day-to-day, and season-to-season variations of boiler efficiency.

Complete combustion efficiency (100%) would extract all the energy available in the fuel.  However, 100% combustion efficiency is not realistically achievable due to stack loss and boiler shell losses.  Various combustion processes produce efficiencies from 0% to 95+%.  Combustion efficiency calculations assume complete fuel combustion and are based on three factors:

• The chemistry of the fuel (the various proportions of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and other compounds) and how much energy is chemically bound in the fuel.
  
  
• The net temperature of the stack gases or how much heat is not being used.
  
  
• The percentage of oxygen (O2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) by volume after the combustion process or how much O2 did the fuel completely burn.

When you schedule a combustion efficiency test with our representative expert a report on the result will be available to you to identify wither your boiler is in compliance with DEP and local laws.
