17
Q

When does N02 form

A

Once is atmosphere

18
Q

What does Nox create when mixed with other pollutants

A

Ozone and acid rain

19
Q

What is Nox made up with

A

N01 and N02

20
Q

How is thermal Nox made

A

Through high temps oxidation of nitrogen in combustion

21
Q

What temperature is Nox created

22
Q

Who is SOX created

A

Combustion of fuels containing sulfer

23
Q

What makes up SOX

A

SO2 and SO3

24
Q

Is Sox dependant on the size of the burner design of the boiler

25
Q

What percent of sulfer in the fuel will be SOX

26
Q

What ppm must heating oil stay under to avoid creating SOX

27
Q

What particulate emissions does wood create

A

Carbon particulates
Soot
unburned wood dust
PAH
semi-volatile organic compounds
Ash (metals, dust, minerals)

28
Q

How much less CO2 is created from using natural gas verses Oil and Coal

A

30% -oil
45%-coal

29
Q

How is CO created

A

Incomplete combustion
Disruptions of air/fuel mixture
Failing inducer
Gas pressure too high
Not enough combustion air

30
Q

What is the explosion limit of CO

A

12.5% or 125000 PPM

31
Q

Is CO lighter or heavier than air

A

Slightly Lighter

32
Q

How much CO can be produced when properly set up

A

Less then 3

33
Q

Max level of CO in air free

34
Q

What problems can look like too much excess air but is a CO problem

A

Leaking site glass
