6.7.7 Calculation of compensation factor

NOTICE

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
The compensation factor eliminates or reduces the natural effect of derate of maximum
input caused by the resistance of the vent system and/or the impact of the altitude.
1. Determine the Compensation Factor Vent System CF(V) in the table below.

2. Determine the Compensation Factor Altitude CF(A) in the table below.

Compensation factor altitude CP(A)
Any application or installation above 10,000 must be reviewed by Rinnai's
Engineering group. This is to ensure the product is installed and the overall
system is designed properly and that the units are commisioned properly.
Not involving of Rinnai's Engineering group would result in no support of the
product and no warranty.
3. Calculate the Compensation Factor Total CF(T):
CF(T) = CF(V) + CF(A)
The result is the setting for Parameter 73.
Change parameter 73 according to this result. See Chapter 10.1 how to change
parameters.
Example of calculation:

Eq. lenth vent system (taken from previous example)

Parameter setting (Par. 73) = 48
Do not overcompensate the boiler by setting a higher value than calculated,
otherwise the boiler could be seriously damaged.
