Water Flows at Various Entering Water Temperatures
The rated water flow rate at 85F entering water temperature (E.W.T) is given in the specification
chart earlier in this manual. Water flow rates in that chart will be significantly different from
rated water flow at other entering water temperatures. The variance from rated water flow rate is
found using the graph below. Using your actual E.W.T., multiply the percentage by the
condenser flow rate at 85F E.W.T. to obtain the actual water flow rate required.
For Example:
What is the actual condenser water flow rate at 50F E.W.T. (KPC-14)?
1. The condenser water flow rate at 85F E.W.T. is 3.0 G.P.M. from the Water Flow chart.
2. At 50F E.W.T., the water flow rate percentage would be 25% as seen on the graph.
3. Multiply 0.25 by 3.0 G.P.M. to get an actual water flow rate of 0.75 G.P.M.
