FACTOR OF SAFETY (note: e.g. 10% is to be entered as 1.1) 1.1
8 Net available draft:
(TOTAL GAINS) - (TOTAL LOSSES) x (FACTOR OF SAFETY): 0.1062
If line 8 is positive the stack is adequate.
If line 8 is negative and an I.D. fan is to be used to convert net
loss to equivalent loss at 70 deg. F and size I.D. fan accordingly;
9 Conclusion:
The Stack is adequate

Volume flow rate of flue gases Calculation (Method 1)
Assuming that one(1) cubic feet of 60 °F flue gas is produced for every 95 Btu of gross input
(Reference: Flow of flue gases, page 155, North American Combustion Handbook, 1965)
( assumed that the flue gas and air density are the same )
Boiler Horsepower 265 BHP
Total Btu of gross input: 8,857 MBH at 60 °F or 520
(data from vendor) 8,857,000 Btu/hr per one(1) boiler
Formula Constant 1 177,500,000
Assumed flue gas temp. where breeching joins chimney (Tbc): 430 °F
Assumed flue gas temp. at top of stack (Ts): 370 °F
Average stack flue gas temperature (Te): 400 °F
Flue gas volume rate (1) Boiler: 43 cfs
2,575 cfm

Volume flow rate of flue gases Calculation (Method 2)
Using equation from page (ii) GK calculation notes)
Excess air 30 %
