6.Add the chassis dissipation (step 2)
to the power supply dissipation
(step 5).
6.Add the chassis dissipation (step 2)
to the power supply dissipation
(step 5).
6.Add the chassis dissipation (step 2)
to the power supply dissipation
(step 5).
7.Add the values together from step 6 across to the right.
8.Covert the value from step 7 to BTUs/hr by multiplying the total heat dissipation of your controller by 3.414.
