At SAACKE we combine series production and customised engineering to design and manufacture combustion plants to customer specifications for industrial and marine applications. SAACKE products satisfy not only the demands of the industry but strict ecological standards as well. The SAACKE Group encompasses affiliates, production facilities, after-sales service centres and associated companies worldwide. Day by day, about a thousand employees devote themselves to making the best possible use of the world's energy and protecting our environment in the process.

This SAACKE Pocket Formula Guide is a collection of essential formulas, calculation bases and standards from the field of combustion engineering. It cannot substitute individual,customer-specific calculations - but it does offer a basic tool for making rough calculations and collecting the key data to start with. The current issue has been reviewed thoroughly and new material has been added. We welcome any suggestions for improving the quality of our Pocket Formula Guide. Please feel free to contact us at the address on the back. Although we have checked the content carefully at SAACKE, it...
