Combustion figures

FigureNatural gas (G20)
CO₂ at high rate
More infoHide infoAfter 5 minutes in full load mode (check programme P.01 set to 100). Set for Wobbe index 15 kWh/m³. When adjusting, set the case-off value.
Case on
9.2% ± 1.0
Case off
9.0% ± 1.0
CO₂ at low rate
Not given in MI
Maximum CO
More infoHide infoThe two figures come from different parts of the MI: the section 7.8 table gives ≤ 250 ppm in full load mode, while the combustion chart (Appendix J) uses less than 350 ppm at maximum and minimum rate. The chart’s recheck after checking seals says 335 ppm.
Full load (section 7.8)
≤ 250 ppm
Max and min rate (combustion chart)
Less than 350 ppm
CO/CO₂ ratio
More infoHide infoThe section 7.8 table gives ≤ 0.0027; the combustion chart (Appendix J) uses less than 0.004 at maximum and minimum rate.
