AOX2 Combustion Efficiency Calculation Worksheet

This Excel worksheet can be used for calculating combustion efficiency using the indirect method.

The sheets corresponding to gas and oil are labeled on the tabs. The LHV and HHV is in regards to the heating value. If you have liquid water in the combustion products (condensing furnace) then use the HHV sheets if no liquid water is present then use the LHV sheets.

So for example if you were doing a high efficiency (condensing) gas furnace, use the sheet called "Nat. Gas HHV".

It requires that you input the %O2, stack temp, ambient temp and CO ppm in the highlighted yellow boxes in the upper left.
