Chapter 16 Curves

Question 1

what happens to CO2 as aeration rates increase?

Answer 1

CO2 percentage decreases

Question 2

what range of CO2 values should you attain

Answer 2

5-8%

Question 3

How does excess air affect CO

Answer 3

if the mix is rich (negative excess air), CO will be high and CO will decrease as excess air is added into the system

Question 4

How does O2 change as excess air increases

Answer 4

O2 increases with more excess air

Question 5

what are the no-“FLY” zones

Answer 5

separate zones where Flashback, Lifting, and Yellow Tipping are likely to occur (3 different areas on a primary air versus port loading zone)

Question 6

How to solve flashback problems

Answer 6

1. increase port loading

2. reduce aeration rate

Question 7

How to solve lifting problems

Answer 7

1. reducing aeration rate

2. decrease port loading

Question 8

how to solve yellow tipping problems

Answer 8

1. increase aeration

2. decrease port loading

Question 9

the ____ the port loading, the higher the primary aeration

Answer 9

the lower the port loading, the higher the primary aeration
