% of Hot Water required to achieve a mixed water temperature

= (Mixed Temp. – Cold Temp.) divided by (Hot Temp. – Cold Temp.)

General Section – continued

% Thermal Efficiency = (GPH X 8.25 X Temp. Rise X 1.0) divided by BTU/H Input

BTU Output = GPH X 8.25 X Temp. Rise X 1.0

GPH= Gallons Per Hour Recovery

GPH = (BTU/H Input X % Eff.) divided by (Temp. Rise X 8.25)

One cubic foot of Natural Gas contains about 1000 BTU of heat.

One “therm” is equal to 100,000 BTU

One cubic foot of Propane Gas contains about 2500 BTU of heat.

One gallon of Propane gas contains about 91,250 BTU of heat.

One pound of Propane gas contains about 21,600 BTU of heat.

One pound of gas pressure is equal to 27.7 inches water column pressure

Inches of Water Column X .036091 = PSI

Inches of Water Column X .073483 = Inches of Mercury (Hg.)

Centimeters = Inches X 2.54

MM (millimeters) =Inches X 25.4

Meters = Inches X .0254

Doubling the diameter of a pipe will increase its flow capacity (approximately) 5.3 times.

CONSTRUCTION: Tank is constructed of steel.

The inside of the tank is constructed of a

glass lining bonded to the steel. This prevents water

to metal contact and rusting of the tank.

anode rod will be installed within the tank. The hex-head plug end of the anode is visible on

the top of the water heater. This metal rod offers secondary protection of the tank against

corrosion where the application of glass is not possible (threaded tank openings). These areas

will have small areas of water to metal contact.

All water heaters will contain at least

one thermostat (to operate the heater) and one high

limit

(to prevent water temperatures approaching the “steam” level).
