Fuels Ventilation and Combustion

2. Fuels Ventilation and Combustion Alan White

3. Title Fuels, Ventilation and Combustion • The unit has been developed to allow the learner to gain underpinning technology integrated with practical assignment work  • Extensive use of installed appliances and visual aids to demonstrate principles and reinforce technology is recommended • The unit is designed to provide the learner with an appreciation of fuels, their requirements to allow complete combustion

4. Title Fuels, Ventilation and Combustion • The effects of incomplete combustion on the flue gas constituents; this could be demonstrated using a flue gas analyser. The effect of the products of incomplete combustion on people should be emphasised. The dangers of storing or using LPG below ground level should be emphasised. • Should use application of the knowledge gained the workplace to emphasise the necessity for correct flues and ventilation for all fuel burning appliances.
