Water Flow Rate optional	GPM PPH If you leave this cell blank and set to GPM Bruce will automatically calculate the flow rate based a 100 40 35 30 25 20 deg F temp rise. If set to PPM will calculate water flow as if it was a steam boiler. Check to allow flow rate to track firing rate Note to match to IBR/AHRI condensing boiler performance standards set rise to 100 deg F and inlet water temperature to 80 deg F below

Manual Unit Selection / Bypass Bruce - For Experienced Boiler Technicians Only:
AutoPick ON
AutoPick OFF - Manual Selection below
Experienced boiler professionals may bypass Bruce's AutoPick software and manually select a maximum gas side pressure drop from the selection chart below. Just because a data page will be printed out means HeatSponge confirms that a manually selected unit will work on a given boiler. Excessive backpressure will seriously impact boiler operation.

This feature is also a very good way to compare the performance of a competitive unit to a HeatSponge. If you are comparing units and the competitive unit has a higher gas side pressure drop than our AutoPick selects use this feature to see how a HeatSponge would compare to the competitive selection. Some competitors will try to sell a smaller unit with an excessively high backpressure simply to offer a lower price.

Flue Gas Mass Flow Calculation Override - For Experienced Boiler Technicians Only:
Experienced boiler professionals may custom select the flue gas mass or volumetric flow rate. You must both enter the flow rate and units to use as well as check the override checkbox.
PPH ACFM SCFM KPH Bypass checkbox required

Final unit selection could be affected by other operational constraints. HeatSponge reviews all selections for accuracy prior to placement of any purchase order.
