NOTE: The cubic feet per hour listed in the table above must be greater than the cubic feet
per hour of gas fl ow required by the furnace. To determine the cubic feet per hour of gas fl ow
required by the furnace, divide the input rate of the furnace by the heating value (from gas
supplier) of the gas.
Cubic Feet Per Hour Required =
Input To Furnace (Btu/hr)
Heating Value of Gas (Btu/Cu. Ft.)
