4.12.1 Gas pressure
The adjacent diagrams are used to calculate manifold pressure
taking into account combustion chamber pressure.
Gas manifold pressure measured at test point 1) (Fig. 31), with:
•
combustion chamber at 0" WC
•
burner operating at maximum output
•
Combustion head adjusted as indicated in diagram (Fig. 22)
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. 31).
–
Find the nearest pressure value to your result in Fig. 30.
–
Read off the corresponding output on the left.
Example
•
Maximum output operation
•
Natural gas
•

Pressure in combustion chamber
7.2 - 1.2
A maximum output of 6500 MBtu/hr shown in diagram corresponds
to 6.0" WC pressure.
This value serves as a rough guide, the effective delivery must be
measured at the gas meter.
