A hydronic loop transfers 8 gpm with a 20°F temperature drop. Using the supplied factor 500, what heat rate is transferred?
- 80,000 Btu per hour
- B4,000 Btu per hour
- C200,000 Btu per hour
- D800 Btu per hour
Why A is correct
Use the supplied water relation: 500 times 8 gallons per minute times 20 degrees Fahrenheit equals 80,000 Btu per hour. This is the loop's sensible heat-transfer rate.
