Capacity notes
• At sea level, approximately 152 Btu are required to raise the
temperature of one pound of water from 60 °F to 212 °F. (At sea
level, approximately 352 kJ are required to raise the temperature
of one kilogram of water from 16 °C to 100 °C.)
• An additional 970 Btu are required to change the state of one pound
of 212 °F water to vapor. (An additional 2257 kJ are required to
change the state of one kilogram of 100 °C water to vapor.)
• Another factor to consider is condensation steam loss from
piping. Use the following general steam loss guidelines:
– Vapor hose: 0.15 lbs/hr/ft
(0.22 kg/h/m)
– Insulated pipe: 0.05 lbs/hr/ft (0.07 kg/h/m)
– Hard pipe and dispersion tubes: 0.50 lbs/hr/ft (0.7 kg/h/m)
– High-eciency dispersion tubes: 0.20 lbs/hr/ (0.298 kg/h/m)
For more detailed information about condensation steam loss, see
the DRI-STEEM Design Guide or our software program, Dri-calc.
LP gas
All models operate at rated
input.
High altitude
An input derate exists when operating units at a high altitude. See
Table 8-2 for high altitude derate information.
* GTS-400 models are derated 10% from 2001-4500 ft in Canada.

* Add 15 full load amps for outdoor enclosure heater load on all GTS models, add 1 full load amp for an outdoor enclosure without heaters.
** Add 10% to account for skim and automatic drain/flush features if utilized (standard water units only).
