The present subject matter provides a burner configured to burn a gas released from an instrument, for example a gas chromatography instrument, the burner comprising: a burning chamber; a gas inlet, configured to allow entry of the gas from the instrument into the burning chamber; an oxygen mix inlet, configured to allow entry of an oxygen mix into the burning chamber; a flammable gas inlet, configured to allow entry of a flammable gas into the burning chamber, and an igniter, capable of igniting gases in the burning chamber. A system for controlling the burning of a gas emitted from an instrument, a method for burning a gas emitted from an instrument, and a method for using a flammable gas as a carrier gas in a gas chromatography instrument, are also provided, as well as various embodiments thereof.

A combination boiler provides heated water to a boiler loop and heated domestic hot water (DHW) to a DHW loop. A primary heat exchanger is connected to the boiler loop. A burner provides heat to the primary heat exchanger and an input fan supplies a fuel and air mixture to the burner. A secondary heat exchanger transfers heat energy from the boiler loop to a domestic water loop. A controller determines a boiler loop flow rate. The controller measures an input temperature of the boiler loop, an output temperature of the boiler loop, and a DHW output temperature of the domestic water loop. The controller determines a DHW input temperature and estimates a DHW flow rate. The input fan speed is initiated or operated according to a required heat output of the burner corresponding to the DHW flow rate.
