G.SELECTION PROCEDURE - HOT WATER APPLICATION

Example 1:

GIVEN DESIGN CONDITIONS:

Unit Heater Model: BV-59, Entering Water Temperature: 250°F, Entering Air Temperature: 70°F

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

1.

Capacity:

BtuA= BtuS x Heating Capacity Factor

￿

The standard capacity of an BV-59 is

 

 

=44,300 x 1.272 = 56,350 Btu/hr

 

44,300 Btu/hr from Table 9.

 

 

 

￿

Steam heating capacity conversion factor

 

 

 

 

for given circumstance is1.272 from Table 11.

2. Water Flow Rate:

Same as standard

￿

The standard capacity on BV-59 is based upon a

 

 

 

 

water flow rateof 4.5 GPM, from Table 9.

3.

Final Air

FATA = EATA + [(460 + EATA) /

￿

The standard airflow of an BV-59 is 1150 CFM,

 

Temperature:

(576 x CfmS) / BtuA -1)]

 

from Table 9.

 

 

FATA = 70°F + [(460 + 70) /

 

 

 

 

(576 x 1150) / 56,350-1)] = 119°F

 

 

4. Max. Mounting

WTDA = BtuA / (480 x GA) = 56,350 /

￿

The standard capacity on BV-59 is based upon a

 

Height:

(480 x 4.5) = 26.09°F

 

water flow rate of 4.5 GPM, from Table 9.

 

 

 

￿

The max. mounting height at standard condition

5. Max. Mounting

MMHA = MMHS x Correction Factor

 

is 14 feet, from Table 9.

 

Height:

= 14 feet x 0.86 = 12.0 feet

￿

The mounting height correction factor is

 

 

 

 

0.86 from Table 14.

 

 

 

 

 

Example 2:

GIVEN DESIGN CONDITIONS:

Horizontal Air Delivery requested, Heating Load: 120,000 Btu/hr, Entering Air Temp.: 50°F, Entering Water Temp.: 180°F

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

1.

Unit Selection:

BtuS= BtuA x Heating Capacity Factor

￿

Hot Water heating capacity conversion factor for

 

 

=120,000 / 0.940 = 127,660 Btu/hr

 

given circumstance is 0.940 from Table 11.

 

 

(at standard conditions). Select BH-165.

 

 

2.

Actual Heating

The capacity of an BH-165 at actual

￿

Hot Water heating capacity conversion factor for

 

Capacity:

conditions will be BtuA = BtuX x Heating

 

given circumstance is 0.940 from Table 11.

 

 

Capacity Factor = 133,000 x 0.940 =

 

 

 

 

125,020 Btu/hr

 

 

3.

Final Air

FATA = EATA + [(460 + EATA) x (BtuA)/

￿

Cfm for given circumstance is 2500 from

 

Temperature:

(576 x CfmS)] = 50 x [(460 + 50 x

 

Table 9.

 

 

(125,020) / (576 x 2500)] = 94°F

 

 

4. Water Temperature

WTDA = BtuA / (480 x GPMA)

￿

GPMA for given circumstance is 13.3 from

 

Drop:

= 125,020 / (480 x 13.3) = 19.5°F

 

Table 9.

5.

Max. Mounting

MMHA = MMHS x Correction Factor

￿

The mounting height correction factor is 1.08

 

Height:

= 18 x 1.08 = 19.4 feet

 

from Table 14.
