Combustion at elevation

  Combustion at elevation In total 6% of the world’s population, that is 474 million people, live in 20 cities above 1,500 meters (4,924 feet) above sea level. Cities above 1,500 meters by order of altitude include La Paz  Bolivia  (3,869 meters, 12,693 feet), Quito  Ecuador , Toluca Cochabamba  Bolivia , Bogota  Colombia , Addis Ababa  Ethiopia , Mexico City  Mexico , Xining  China , Sana’a  Yemen , Puebla  Mexico , Kunming  China , San Luis Potosí  Mexico , León  Mexico , Kabul  Afghanistan , Nairobi  Kenya , Denver  United States , Medellín  Colombia , Johannesburg  South Africa , Srinagar  India , Lanzhou  China  (1,594 meters, 5,229 feet).

High Altitude Combustion

 High Altitude Combustion As the price of diesel fuel in particular is somewhat normalized globally from a midpoint of US$1 / Liter. These locations suffer the similar economic cost of inefficient combustion at elevation. The quoted calorific value of the fuel is the same in all locations, but the value for money paid per liter is discounted by the rate of inefficiency of combustion. For fuel that is combusted at elevations above the sea level fuel is wasted as there is a diminished supply of oxygen available in the air to realize the potential calorific value of the fuel quoted at sea level. By feeding Brown’s Gas® into the combustion equipment we can achieve the following goals:
