Oxygen percentage in the flue gas coming out of a gaseous fuel fired furnace should be ideally about _____________ percent?

Correct answer: A. < 2

  • A. < 2
  • B. < 5
  • C. < 8
  • D. < 10

Explanation

A well-adjusted gaseous-fuel furnace aims for only a small excess of air, commonly keeping flue-gas oxygen below about 2%. Higher oxygen levels indicate increasing excess air and greater sensible-heat loss in the exhaust.
