necessary calculations have been set up in permanent chart form, it will be
found to be a simple, rapid method of sizing. Itis the only way to be assured
of accurate, dependable, and economical results. Each step of the procedure
is now thoroughly discussed:
1. Calculate the heat loss rates of the hot water supply piping: Domestic
