Word: overfire Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From over- (prefix meaning ‘above, higher; excessively’) + fire. Pronunciation: /ˈəʊvəfaɪə/, /ˈoʊvɚˌfaɪ(ə)ɹ/ 1. Of a boiler, furnace, or other heating device: relating to components or other things that are located above the fire. Labels: not-comparable Example: In the interest of smoke abatement, overfire jets are now installed on thousands of commercial and industrial coal-fired furnaces. [...] The overfire jet is a device for providing turbulence and/or overfire air above the fuel bed of hand-fired and stoker-fired furnaces. Example: Volatile matter in the vapor form and carbon monoxide just above the bed must be fully mixed with overfire air to complete the combustion process. At low firing rates it is important to minimize the amount of overfire air to prevent cooling of the volatile matter resulting in incomplete combustion and soot formation.
Word: overfire Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From over- (prefix meaning ‘above, higher; excessively’) + fire. Pronunciation: /ˌəʊvəˈfaɪə/, /ˌoʊvɚˈfaɪ(ə)ɹ/ 1. To create too large a fire in a fireplace, furnace, firebox, etc. Labels: transitive Example: I found that the Chapelon steamed almost too freely, because on a strange locomotive and road one usually tends to overfire a little through a natural lack of confidence. Example: Overfiring the appliance may cause a house fire. If a unit or chimney connector glows, you are overfiring. 2. To fire at a high (or excessively high) temperature. Labels: transitive Example: BUBBLES IN GLAZE may be caused by too heavy an application, or by severe underfiring or overfiring. [...] LOSS OF COLOR IN CHINA PAINTING is a result of overfiring or mixing too much medium with the paint. Be careful not to overfire china colors, and if a light shade of a dark color is needed, apply the color very lightly rather than thinning too much. Example: At this point overfiring begins, as is shown particularly by the volume curve, which indicates decided bloating, so that at 1450°C the clay has about the same volume it had at 1050°C before vitrification took place. At 1450°C it is, therefore, decidedly overfired. However, its excellent burning behavior is apparent from the long temperature range. 3. Of a cell or group of cells: to fire excessively. Labels: transitive Example: Geoffery Schultz, a student of [Ronald] Melzack, has recently conducted a study showing that visual hallucinations need not be caused by psychopathology but may result from the disruption of sensory input among patients suffering eye damage. The neuromatrix, in Melzack's theory, overfires its output messages in the absence of stimulation from external sources (or temping feedback), and creates images – often fantastic or exaggerated – that may be experienced as real.

Word: overfiring Part of Speech: verb 1. present participle and gerund of overfire Labels: form-of, gerund, participle, present
Word: underfire Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From under- + fire. Pronunciation: /ˈʌndəfaɪə/, [-faɪ̯ə(ɹ)], /ˌʌndəˈfaɪə/, /ˈʌndɚˌfaɪ(ə)ɹ/, [-ˌfaɪ̯ɚ] 1. To heat from below. Labels: intransitive, transitive Example: It was contended, that the only objection which could be raised against under-firing, was the danger of incrustation, or deposit upon the boiler bottom, of matter held in suspension by the water; but that this rarely, if ever, caused explosions; the utmost injury it occasioned, was causing the boiler plate to be burnt out, and that this effect could not take place, without gross neglect. 2. To intentionally operate a boiler, furnace, oven, etc., at a low level. Labels: transitive Example: The large supply of natural gas at Chicago permitted underfiring the batteries of the Chicago By-Product Coke Oven Plant with a mixture of producer gas and natural gas. […] The mixing of by-product coke oven gas with blast furnace gas to correct the varying thermal deficiencies of the latter when used to underfire coke ovens is patented by Becker. Example: One of the major factors contributing to high particulate emissions from domestic burners is on-off cycling. […] Underfiring consists of using a smaller (undersized) unit which has to stay on longer and, therefore, cycles less. However, no data are available on the effectiveness, cost, and public acceptability (more complex system or inability to heat house as comfortably during very cold periods) of these proposals. 3. To burn fuel at less than the desired level, thus not providing heat efficiently. Labels: intransitive Example: Often home owners select a [wood] stove that is too hot for the space to be heated. Many stove owners compensate by underfiring the stove, which causes poor performance, increased emissions and potential chimney fires by creosote buildup. Example: If the burner is underfiring, the nozzle may need to be changed or the pressure at the outlet of the fuel pump may need to be adjusted. 4. To fire at a low (or excessively low) temperature. Labels: transitive Example: You no longer need to underfire your products or guess at their high temperature behavior simply because of lag in furnace technology.
Word: underfires Part of Speech: verb 1. third-person singular simple present indicative of underfire Labels: form-of, indicative, present, singular, third-person
Word: underfiring Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From under- (prefix meaning ‘beneath; insufficient’) + firing, or underfire + -ing (suffix forming nouns from verbs denoting the act of doing something, an action, or the embodiment of an action). Pronunciation: /ˌʌndəːˈfaɪəɹɪŋ/, /ˌʌndɚˈfaɪəɹɪŋ/, /ˌʌndɚˈfaɪɹɪŋ/ 1. Intentional operation of a boiler, furnace, oven, etc., at a low level. Labels: uncountable Example: The designer believes that by this combination of a combustion-chamber with the underfiring grate the combustion of the fuel is improved. Example: Underfiring of steam boilers, though not approved in this country, is very largely practised in America, […] 2. The state of not burning fuel at the desired level, and thus not providing heat efficiently. Labels: uncountable Example: In natural gas-fired boilers, gas pressure is critical to proper burner operation and efficient combustion. Variations in gas pressure may cause over- or underfiring of the boiler. […] Underfiring may cause flame instability and poor combustion efficiency due to high levels of excess air. Example: Gas-burner maintenance should include these measures: […] Adjust gas input if combustion testing indicates overfiring or underfiring. 3. Heating from below. Labels: also, attributive, uncountable Example: [W]hile there were fully as many under-firing as tube-firing boilers, at work, the majority of explosions took place in boilers of the latter class, and they almost invariably commenced with the collapse of the fire flue. Example: In an underjet coke oven, a distribution system for delivering a combustion-medium into the underfiring system of said coke oven, comprising: a header-pipe having a plurality of outlets therealong; pipe-connections at a region so remote from the active combustion zone of the underfiring system of the oven as to be unaffected by the heat of active combustion in the combustion zone, for delivering said combustion-medium from said header-pipe outlets to different points in conduit means of said coke-oven underfiring system; […] 4. The state of being insufficiently fired or underfired. Labels: uncountable Example: Hence it is, I must suppose, that while more effects could be produced with rose if one could only be sure of the fire, yet carmine is the more serviceable, as one is at so much less risk of loss from overfiring, which is more common than underfiring. Example: The brick color which you describe as the result of your carmine after firing is generally due to underfiring and a second fire, stronger, will remedy this, but if this is caused by the painting either laid on too thick or spoiled by other colors, there is no remedy.
