CO results for inset fire

[dan_the_plumber]

Our CO alarms went off the other day. I did all the tests in manafacters instructions plus a few more to ensure fire is safe to use.

I conducted a combustion gas analysis and it threw up a surprising result.

CO2 6.0
Co 350
Ratio 0.0065

Now I would not usually feel happy about leaving this. However I have encountered higher than average results that manafacterers have told me are fine in the past.

I tried to contact manafacters tech help with no joy.

I just wondered if others have found these higher results with inset log fuel effect fires, (with very yellow flames)?

Thanks

What do you mean why? The more gas you burn, the more Carbon is present. If it hasn’t the correct amount of oxygen mixed with it, it produces carbon monoxide at in-appropriate quantities.

the question still stands , why ? use you fga to test fire , you don't need too

I wanted To test Two fires. I tested one then tested the other Too.
Merry Christmas!

Sorry mate. I was taking the mikey out of your appalling spelling and grammar. I am sorry that this has gone over your head. I’m unlikely to take your advice on gas engineering issues. This, as you don’t even seam to be able to write correctly.

Now that's not very nice dan

I think Mason had the upper hand as far as tech stuff goes. You don't need to FGA a fire of that type.

And, slightly amusingly, if you are going to pis& take on spelling, try to not spell "seem" wrongly

No, well as I said.... I know you don’t have to test these fires with FGA. However I always take the opportunity to better educate myself as a point of interest. It’s just a shame that some other engineers don’t do the same.

well done Dan the man jeez your cleaver

your still not answering the question , why do you FGA gas fires ?? what exactly are you looking for ??? what will this tell you that you would already know by checking like any normal gas engineer would do but i guess you still haven't a clue what your doing maybe i can help and just maybe you might learn from somebody thats been doing it for decades . what about doing/checking for sooting , ventilation , BP, pilot length , flue spillage/flow tests, cleaning lint arrestor , gas rate , flame picture, catchment space , testing FFD etc etc etc …….. certainly not FGAing a OF gas fire Dan the man

before throwing insults you may need to look within yourself with fellow experienced engineers here when showing your immaturity and plain inexperience , so other words look ,learn and take note from these good people instead of trying to look big and at the same time looking/sounding like an idiot

you still haven't answered my question and you keep swerving the question .
what are you looking for when FGAing a gas fire ?
maybe a little help … how does O2 effect your readings ?
what about levels of CO ?

Hey Shaun. I thought you’d closed this thread down? I have no desire to speak to this guy anymore!
