Flue gas is a type of exhaust gas that exits the atmosphere through a pipe often called a flue. Flue gas can be seen exiting power plants, a fireplace, oven, boiler or steam generator.

What would the flue gas symptom be if there were too much airflow?

It would be Non-Existent. All Flue gases would be ventilated and thusly removed.


When heated calcium sulfite decomposes to form calcium oxide and sulfur dioxide?

Under very specific circumstances it can, however, the normal reaction between CaSO3 and heat in the presence of O2 (in air, for example) is to create CaSO4. A good example is the dry lime flue gas desulfurization process. In a non-forced oxidation process, CaO (lime) readily reacts with SO2 forming CaSO3 in flue gas, which is then recovered as a solid. With added oxygen (the forced oxidation process), the CaSO3 in the flue gas oxidizes to CaSO4, which is then recovered as a solid. In air, even at room temperatures, CaSO3 slowly oxidizes to CaSO4. That said, in order to get from CaSO3 to CaO and SO2, you have to heat it under reducing conditions to drive off the oxygen, creating CaS, cleave the Ca-S bond, then perform an oxidation reaction to form recoverable CaO and SO2.

No. Closing the firplace flue will not make any difference in damage to you home. Closing it will only waste time better spent taking cover.

What is the purpose of a bypass on an industrial boiler economiser?

If the boiler fuel contains Sulphur (and most do) combustion products in the flue gas will include Oxides of Sulphur (SO2 and SO3). SO3 combines with water (H2O) to make Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4). If the temperature of the flue gas falls below the dew point, the combination of the acid with the moisture in the flue gas causes corrosion of the flue gas duct work. Bypassing the economiser in the early stages of a boiler start keeps the flue gas temperature above the dew point.
