This calculator provides an estimate of flow through a FALCO 300 at a catalyst temperature of 330°C with the heat exchanger bypass valve closed**.

Alternatively, if the Flow rate is known, Inlet Pressure may be estimated.

   
                 
                 
    Known Inlet Pressure:            
    Enter Inlet Pressure (in H2O)        
    Estimated Flow Rate = (SCFM)        
                 
                 
    Known Flow Rate:            
    Enter Flow Rate (SCFM)        
    Estimated Inlet Pressure = (in H2O)        
                 
    Opening the heat exhanger bypass valve will reduce pressure drop by    
    approximately 3-6 in H2O.***            
             
 

 

* Flow greater than 360 scfm is beyond the normal operating range.

 
  ** FALCO 300 is normally operated with heat exchanger bypass closed at concentrations < 800 ppmv.
  *** FALCO 300 may be operated with the heat exchanger bypass open at high concentrations.  
  Inlet pressure assumes a clean flame arrestor.  
             
             
  The FALCO 300 has a high efficiency heat exchanger.  
  High efficiency is accompanied by increased pressure drop.  
  Heat recovery is adjustable with a heat exchanger bypass valve.  
  Lowering heat recovery reduces pressure drop.
