Abstract
Overfire air supplied by steam jets has in the past proved to be an economical and effective means for improving combustion in furnaces. More recently high-pressure air jets supplied by power-driven fans have been employed with great success. After stating the requirements, this paper deals with typical applications of overfire air to furnaces equipped with various types of stokers. The use of the portable ultimate-gas-analysis machine in studying combustion conditions in furnaces and in making heat-balance tests is also described.
