its hot!
Yellow flames from a natural gas furnace indicate that the combustion ratio is off and you have too much excess air in the mixture, if the discolored flame is isolated in the burner meaning on only 1 out of 3 or more then the burner/orifice may be out of alignment or there maybe a crack in the exchangers cell.
yellow flame needs more air or cleaned orange flame could indicate moisture in the fuel if propane have your tank treated your L.P. dealer should be able to do this also I have seen this when people use hemidfers the orange is burnning of the minerals in the water
The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.
If the furnace is direct ignition, The HSI or spark ignites the flame. A flame sensor passes current through the flame, if current is present the main.

When a flame on a gas water heater is burning yellow it means that the gas has carbon. It can also mean that the gas has sodium.
with gas? hence gas furnace? theres a gas pipe that puts the gas into 3-4 tube things tht keep lit by the gas bruhhh
A blue flame is louder than a yellow flame because there is more oxygen (air) flow present than with a yellow flame. The yellow flame indicates a lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion of the methane gas.
No. The yellow flame is actually due to incomplete combustion because of a lack of oxygen gas (air intake) and as a result carbon particles (soot) get ignited causing the yellow flame.
Sharp, noisy blue flame=too much air Blue flame with defined inner lighter blue cone= just right Soft blue flame with yellow tips=not enough air, or using LP gas Most times can be adjusted with the primary air shutter on the burner tube, being careful to check for good ignition after adjustment. Caution: a yellow flame can carbon/clog up the heat exchanger eventually.
There are a couple common reasons for a pilot light going out. 1. The thermocouple is weak. This is the gold rod that must see the flame in order to keep the gas valve open. it is a safety device that will not let the gas vavle open if there is no pilot. 2. The pilot is dirty and has a yellow flame. If this is the case, it will have to be cleaned. There are books on he market such as forced hot air furnace - troubleshooting and repair that show you how to repair your furnace. You can buy this at amazon.com
Well like with any flame, the lighter the flame, the higher the temperature of the flame. If the flam is burning Yellow, it is at a higher temperature and is burning more oxygen than an orange flame is. That is your difference other than the color.
