12.4.5 Measure and Verify Input Rating - Natural Gas Only
To measure and verify the input for Natural Gas (Only), perform the following procedure.
Measuring and Verifying Natural Gas Input Rating
1. Ensure the boiler is firing at maximum firing rate. To manually place the boiler into high fire
mode, refer to instructions in Section 12.3.4 of this chapter.
2. Operate the unit for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Turn off all gas appliances within the building, except the Esteem boiler.
4. At the gas meter, record the time required to use one cubic foot of gas.
5. Calculate Natural gas input using the following equation:
3600 x 1000 / number of second recorded for one cubic foot of gas = BTU/H.
6. The BTU/H calculated should approximate the input rating listed on the unit.
