The basic objective of purging is to clean up the residual combustibles within the combustion chamber of the boiler rather furnace. The amount of purge air is determined by purpose of the purging. In boiler, out of 100% of the total air, about 30% is to fulfil the stoicheometric requirement of combustion and about 70% is the excess air.

Therefore, 30% air flow is sufficient to blow off the unburnt incombustible and saving thereby unnecessary wastage of fan power.

In another aspect, more than 30% supply may initiate explosive uncontrolled combustion of accumulated combustible within combustion zone if the air: fuel ratio is more air rich and having sufficient temperature to get ignited.

Therefore, assuming maximum 100% fuel availability at the time of purging within the combustion zone purging air is limited to 30% to avoid the air-rich condition as well as to complete the process of purging

What is boiler load?

Boiler load is the total "work" performed by the boiler. In residential application the boiler load usually refers to the total heat lost in a home on the coldest day of the year and is measured in the USA by British Thermal Units per hour. To find the load the accepted practice is to use the "Manual 'J' method. Appropriate software and some experience is necessary to gain meaningful results and proper size a boiler to the load. Boilers that are oversize use more fuel, suffer component failures and can create discomfort by lowering the average water temperature. Boilers sized below the load will not satisfy the thermostat on the coldest days of the year.
