Modern oil burners operate with what CO2 levels?

Modern oil burners typically operate with CO2 levels in the range of 10 to 13%. This range indicates that the combustion process is efficient and that the burner is operating under optimal conditions. When the CO2 levels are within this range, it typically means that the fuel is being burned completely, which maximizes heat output while minimizing the production of harmful by-products such as carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons.

When CO2 levels fall below this range, it might suggest incomplete combustion, indicating potential inefficiencies such as excess air or other combustion issues. Conversely, if CO2 levels rise significantly above this range, it could indicate a situation where there is insufficient air for combustion, which can lead to a buildup of dangerous gases. Therefore, understanding and monitoring CO2 levels is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient operation of oil burners.
