4.13 Gas pressure
The adjacent diagrams are used to calculate manifold pressure
taking into account combustion chamber pressure.
Column 1
Gas manifold pressure measured at test point 1) (Fig. 25), with:
•
Combustion chamber at 0" WC
•
Burner operating at maximum output
•
Natural gas
Calculate the approximate high fire output of the burner as follows:
–
Subtract the combustion chamber pressure from the gas pres-
sure measured at test point 1) (Fig. 25).
–
Find the nearest pressure value to your result in column 1 of
the diagram for the burner in question.
–
Read off the corresponding output on the left.
Example - RLS 100
•
Maximum output operation
•
Natural gas
•
Gas pressure at test point 1)
(Fig. 25)
•
Pressure in combustion chamber
A maximum output of 3616 MBtu/hr shown in diagram RLS 100
corresponds to 3.62" WC pressure, column 1, natural gas.
This value serves as a rough guide, the effective delivery must be
measured at the gas meter.
