SIZING PROCEDURE
1. List all fixtures and equipment that require hot water
2. Make two columns, one for 140F water and one for 190F water
3. Enter the gallons required in the appropriate column
4. Total each column
5. Total columns to equal Recovery Demand (RD) at 120F
6. Multiply each column total by the appropriate Conversion Factor:
1.5 = Conversion Factor for 190F to 140F = RD (Recovery Demand)
0.40 = Conversion Factor for 140F to 190F = RD
9. Calculate SR: Multiply RD at 140F by .33 for minimum SR (Storage Requirement)
