Co2 burner question

Beng01 · Mar 28, 2020

Does anyone know if a high altitude propane burner will still burn correctly at lower elevations, like 1500ft or do the orifices absolutely need to be changed out to regular LP?

Thanks in advance!

High altitude burners are setup for less oxygen so they allow more air to the fuel mix. For low altitude you will want the correct air to fuel ratio.

Kinda what I was thinking, the holes that let air into the burner tip may be too big and make the flame burn weird, or worse make a bunch of carbon monoxide

Okay, sounds like it should be done right

Thanks

As a way to test a unit you can fire it up ans look at the flames, If they have any yellow then they are producing carbon monoxide. A carbon monoxide detector is always wise when running any gas appliance.
