Bryant 581A, 581B, 579F, 581C ALTITUDE COMPENSATION* 581C024-060 STANDARD UNIT, ALTITUDE COMPENSATION* 581C024-060 LOW NOx UNITS, PERFECT HUMIDITY ADAPTIVE DEHUMIDIFICATION COIL PRESSURE DROP

163
PERFORMANCE DATA — 581C
ALTITUDE COMPENSATION* — 581C024-060
STANDARD UNIT
*As the height above sea level increases, there is less oxygen per cubic
foot of air. Therefore, heat input rate should be reduced at higher altitudes.
†Orifices available through your Bryant distributor.

ALTITUDE DERATING FACTOR*
*Derating of the gas heating equipment to compensate for the effects of alti-
tude is always required. Orifice change is not required if the fuel heating
value (at sea level) is below the limits listed in the table at left. Derating con-
ditions must be 4% per thousand ft above 2000 ft. For example, at 4000 ft,
if the heating value of the gas exceeds 1000 Btu/ft3, the unit will require a
16% derating. For elevations above 6000 ft, the same formula applies. For
example, at 7000 ft, the unit will require a 28% derating of the maximum
heating value per the National Fuel Gas Code.

IMPORTANT: Local utility companies may be reducing heat content of gas at
altitudes above 2000 ft. If this is being done, changing spuds may not be
required.
