Combustion heat H

s

 

To get correct conversion it is necessary to enter correct value of combustion 

heat and relative conditions. Then device will make new conversion of relative 
temperature for defined relative conditions and final value will be used for energy 
calculation. In case of  AGA8-92DC method combustion heat is not entered but 
calculated directly from gas composition according to EN ISO 6976. For the other 
methods value H

s

 (MJ/m3) must be entered manually and always under those 

relative conditions:  

 

combustion temperature/ temperature of gas = 25°C / 0 °C
