Combustibles vs. COe – Navigating Industry Terms

Wednesday, March 18, 2020 | Tim Tallon

Applications Technologies

There are many terms used in the combustion industry. One is the concept of “combustibles” for detecting the onset of incomplete combustion for safety, and for optimizing the combustion process for fuel efficiency. This article provides a basis for understanding combustibles measurements and related terms, such as “COe.”
