In addition to your other issues, an “inline fan” REDUCES flow! ;)

Yes Mr. Bill that is >1,200 sq ft per ton plus the basement!;)

To be accurate:

In the case of fossil fuels burnt in air, the combustion temperature depends on all of the following:

• the heating value;
• the stoichiometric air to fuel ratio...

I have read a lot about combustion air in the past 35 years, and have read your reference, however it appears that they are addressing “Industrial applications” not residential.

Here is the formula I posted on 10/9/11:

“The chemical equation for burning natural gas is:

CH4 + 9.52 Air (O2 + N2) = CO2 + H2O + 7.43N2

(This does not include dilution/secondary air.)

I do not recommend by-pass humidifiers because they reduce air volume to the building by as much as 10%.

Get a powered one. A little noise but more conditioned air to the living space.:angel:
