WATER TEMPERATURE RISE vs FLOW RATE
NOTE: The boiler should be properly sized for its heating application and maintain an adequate water
flow rate during operation. Significantly oversizing the boiler or decreasing boiler water flow
rate will cause excessive stage cycling and result in premature failure of the contactors.
Water flow rate vs temperature rise formulas in US gallons per minute (GPM) and liters per minute (LPM):
6.94 x kW
14.6 x kW
GPM =
