The formula to calculate the boiler flow rate is:
\[ FR = \frac{P \cdot 3600}{\Delta T \cdot 4.186} \]
Where:
The boiler flow rate is the volume of water that can be heated by the boiler to a certain temperature in a given period of time. It is an important parameter for ensuring that the heating system can meet the heating demands of a building. The flow rate is influenced by the boiler’s power and the temperature rise required for the heating system.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ FR = \frac{20 \cdot 3600}{30 \cdot 4.186} = \frac{72000}{125.58} = 573.33 \text{ liters per hour} \]
The Boiler Flow Rate (FR) is 573.33 liters per hour.
