-reference oxygen - the parameter used to calculate relative concentrations of
components (formula 4). It is a standard quantity. In the table, it has been assumed
that as in DIN standards that it is: 11% - for solid fuels and 3% for gaseous and
liquid ones.
HV - fuel quality - the amount of energy emitted during complete combustion of 1
kilogram (or 1m
3
in case of gas) of fuel.
6.8 The influence of fuel parameters on the accuracy of result calculations
As has already been mentioned, GA-40 T plusplus does not measure the concentration of carbon dioxide, but
calculates it from the measured oxygen concentration and the CO
2max
parameter. On basis of CO
2
concentration calculated in this way, the chimney loss, combustion efficiency and loss by incomplete
combustion are calculated. Obviously, the fuel parameters (especially CO
2max
), have a fundamental influence
on calculations of combustion processes. The following results calculated by GA-40 T plusplus are affected by
fuel parameters:

As formula

shows, the value of the excess air factor is independent of
fuel parameters. The calculated results of gas quantities (except CO
2
) and the results of
temperature measurements and power quantities do not depend on fuel parameters either.
Please note that fuel quality HV does not appear in any formula. This parameter does not
influence any measurement result shown by GA-40 T plusplus.
