PERFORMANCE DATA (cont)
ALTITUDE COMPENSATION* —
580F180-300
*Includes a 4% input reduction per each 1,000 feet.
†Orifices available through your Bryant dealer.
ALTITUDE DERATING FACTOR*
*Derating of the unit is not required unless the heating value of the gas
exceeds the values listed in the table above, or if the elevation exceeds
6000 ft. Derating conditions must be 4% per thousand ft above 2000 ft.
For example, at 4000 ft, if the heating value of the gas exceeds
1000 Btu/ft
3 , the unit will require a 16% derating. For elevations above
6000 ft, the same formula applies. For example, at 7000 ft, the unit will
require a 28% derating of the maximum heating value per the National
Fuel Gas Code.
IMPORTANT: Local utility companies may be reducing heat content of
gas at altitudes above 2000 ft. If this is being done, changing spuds may
not be required.
