IMPORTANT DECISIONS REQUIRED
SIZING
1. Boiler DOE Heating Capacity – The indirect-fired
water heater will provide the rated performance only if
used in conjunction with a heat source with a DOE
heating capacity (Heat Output) at least as much as the
minimum noted in Table 3. If the heat source has less
capacity, the output of the tank will be reduced. To
determine the approximate reduction in output from the
tank use the following formula:
New Rating = (maximum continuous draw rating) x
For example, what would the continuous draw rating be if
a 52-gallon indirect-fired water heater were installed with
a heat source having a DOE heating capacity of 85,000
BTU/h?
Answer:
New Rating
= 165 gal/hr x (85,000 BTU/h)/(113,000 BTU/h)
= 165 gal/hr x 0.752 = 124 gal/hr
