SHOWER 2 75 150

KITCHEN SINK 13 20 260

TOTAL MAX. DEMAND 446 GPH

DEMAND FACTOR = 0.30

STORAGE FACTOR= 2
PROBABLE MAXIMUM DEMAND = TOTAL MAX. DEMAND X DEMAND FACTOR
PROBABLE MAXIMUM DEMAND = 133.8 GPH
HEATER OR COIL CAPACITY = 133.8 GPH ( RECOVERY RATE REQUIRED )
STORAGE TANK CAPACITY = HEATER CAPACITY X STORAGE FACTOR
= 267.6 GALS.

POWER REQUIREMENT:

KW = RECOVERY RATE X 8.33 X ( TO - TI )

at Incoming Temp. T1 = 65 OF ( 18 OC)

Outgoing Temp. To = 140 OF ( 60OC)

KW = 7.8 x 8.33 ( 140 - 65 )
