Sizing a boiler?

06/04/2010 8:20 AM

I know someone looking for an engineer to size a boiler system to replace several hot water heaters in an apartment building.

I guess you would need to establish BTU requirement through heat loss calculation.

Out of (16) units, I would guess that no more than (8) units would be used simultaneously.

No sure if dishwater or shower would more demanding.

If you can provide some assistance, please contact me and I will pass your name along to the interested party.

I was just trying to help a friend out. I told him to seek advice from a heating contractor.

I think he was just wondering what information he needed to be prepared with.

I thought someone here might be of assistance. Guess not.
