Tim, Question on excess air

Rob Blair

Tim,

Where do I find information on what excess air is exactly and how it affects combustion.  I am fairly new to gas appliances, immediately purchased a combustion analyzer, but was unsure of some of the readings.



Is there some good literature out there to help me.



Thanks,

Rob Blair
