Tramp Air is air that leaks in through faulty gaskets on clean out covers, doors, between boiler sections and around burner mounting flanges. Air that infiltrates into the heating appliance other than designed by the manufacture can be classified as tramp air; that dilutes flue gas temperatures. The composition of the flue gases is also diluted by tramp air. This retards the technicians ability to accurately monitor and control combustion conditions. Tramp air results in reduced efficiency.
