Selecting a Boiler
Finding the Right Boiler
This section helps you select the right boiler for your job. If you already know the building’s heating load (heat loss in Btu/hr) and do not need to use Heat Loss Express to do the calculations, start at Heat Load is Known. If you used Heat Loss Express to calculate the building’s heat loss (see the previous section) start at Calculated Heat Load.
