“e-TRIM” – Air/Fuel Ratio Monitoring System
Managing Excess Air – What’s right for your application
According to DOE studies – minimizing combustion air can deliver 35% savings. Checking and tuning air/fuel ratios is one of the simplest ways to get maximum efficiency out of fossil fuel fired process heat equipment.

Efficiency
| Increased burner efficiency |
| Faster ramp to heat |
| Less fuel per load |
| Maximizes throughput |
| Reduce NOx & CO2 |
| Increased radiant tube life |
Excess air dilutes combustion
| Lowers flame temperature |
| Less heat for the load |
| More heat in the exhaust gasses |
| Increase NOx |
Optimum excess air for energy efficiency and pollution prevention
| 10% excess air - yields 2% excess O2 in combustion gases |
Excess gas
| Sooting in radiant tubes |
| Lower flame temperature |
| Unburned fuel |
| Dangerous gas emissions (higher CO) |
Other benefits
| Process repeatability |
| Maximum throughput |
| Even distribution of heat |
| Longer radiant tube life |
