Dear Frank I have seen hundreds of tests in which the hydrogen tracks the CO. They are both indicators of incomplete combustion. What is noticeably after a while is that the ratio between them has something to do with the ratio to begin with. H:CO is about 1:4 for coal, and 1:3 for biomass. This one is odd because it's obviously about 1:2. I think the reason you don't hear about how much H2 there is in smoke is that no one measures it. It is a chemical loss. Regards Crispin >>Q10>>>
Its amazingly constant the way it seems to dip and rise at the same time. Problem with the Hydrogen reading? Its follows CO closely with no real reason it should do so â as I understand it. It follows too close to be a real non-related reaction so itâs a related reaction or some interference response. The way I see it.

What do you suppose is the source this hydrogen? Note for interest that the ratio between H2 and CO is surprisingly constant throughout the test. It is not the ratio of the H and C in the fuel (at all). Regards | ||
