www.rinnai.uswww.rinnai.us © 2011 Rinnai America Corporation engineering@rinnai.usengineering@rinnai.us THE BASICS Four important factors when sizing tankless units: Incoming ground water temperature Hot water demand Altitude Gas line size

www.rinnai.uswww.rinnai.us © 2011 Rinnai America Corporation engineering@rinnai.usengineering@rinnai.us ∆T Temperature Rise (°F) Water Flow (gpm) Understanding Maximum Flow Rate EXAMPLE (from previous page) Incoming water = 57° Rinnai Set-Point temperature = 120° Subtract the incoming ground water temperature from the water heater’s set temperature for ∆T 120° - 57° = 63 The maximum GPM flow rate for any given ∆T can be found at the intersecting points along each model’s specific flow curve A GPM flow test from the temperature controller can verify each unit’s performance RC98i/e Flow Curve Flow curves of each model are listed in each installation manual 63 If incoming water is 57° and requested temperature is 120°, ∆T is 63° and gpm flow rate is 6.0 gpm
