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).

Combustion Elevation Altutude

 Combustion Elevation Altitude 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. There is a universal solution to this problem by supplementing the air intake of engines, and other combustion combustion equipment with Brown’s Gas® known to some as HHO. When fuel is burned inside of an engine, genset, boiler, furnace or gasifier,it is necessary to ensure the supply of air that is compatible with the fuel combustion. If the air supply is insufficient, the fuel will combust incompletely, and fuel will be wasted.
