All calculations are performed by using the first three columns of information only. Before beginning any calculations, determine the individual burner Btu size
and heating value at Sea Level for the installation site. Each value shown in the Heat Value column is per burner at 3.5" W.C.
NOTE:
Heat Value at Sea Level, for the location of the installation, is available from the Natural Gas Supplier to that site. Orifices for all altitudes are based on Sea Level values.
Divide the individual burner capacity (25,000 for 80 plus) by the Heat Value for the site to determine the Cubic Foot value at Sea Level, or divide burner capacity by the Cubic
Foot value for the Heat Value. Once you have either the Cubic Foot Value or the Heat Value you can estimate the Sea Level orifice for the site. To select the corresponding
high altitude orifice, locate the site elevation on the chart above and the orifice required at Sea Level from your calculation in the first column. The correct high
altitude orifice that must be installed in each individual burner is the intersection of these two points on the chart above.
