Onyx · Answer 1

excess air is required to ensure adequate mixing of fuel and air, avoid smoke, minimize sg in Coal burning, and to ensure maximum steam output.

Madalynn Obrien · Answer 2

Excess air is supplied to the combustion process to ensure each fuel molecule is completely surrounded by sufficient combustion air. As a burner tune-up improves the rate at which mixing occurs, the amount of excess air required can be reduced.
