Best Answer

The incomplete combustion resulting from a rich mixture results in smoke from the chimney. A plenty of air at the intake or a tuning of the burner usually solves the problems. Check the air filters for blockage and replace. A worn out fuel nozzle (in case of oil fired) might also be a cause of improper mixing of air and fuel resulting in incomplete combustion.

What is a tangentially fired boiler?

A tangentially fired boiler has between 4 and 8 burners, placed in the corners of the boiler. These are sometimes angled vertically to maximize impingement of the flames. They are fired into the center of the boiler, not directly into the center, but at the wall to adjacent to them. This causes the flames to swirl inside of the boiler, causing an even distribution of flame throughout the boiler. This is shown pretty well here: http://www.alstom.com/power/coal-oil/utility-boilers/firing-systems This website also has a lot more detail than previously provided.
