 To Determine The Boiler Water Flow Rate Required

 To Determine Maximum Domestic Water Recovery Rate

Note: A minimum 10oF differential between the leaving boiler water temperature and the leaving domestic hot water temperature is required to maintain efficient heat transfer rates.

 Examples

A.

 I want to heat 950 GPH from 40-140oF with 180oF boiler water that I can take down to 160oF. How much boiler water must I have available?

       950 x .01666 x ( 140-40) = 1582.7 = 79 GPM of Boiled Water
             180-160                    20

B.

 I have 30 GPM of 200oF boiler water that I can take down to 160oF. How many GPH of domestic water can I heat from 40-140oF?

        30 x 60 x ( 200-160) = 72000 = 720 GPH of Domestic Water
             140-40                    100
