An 80% furnace's discharge air temperature is 125 degrees F and is adding heat to a space at the rate of 80,000 BTU's an hour. What is the input rating of the furnace?
a. 60,000 Btu's
b. 120,000 Btu's
c. 75,000 Btu's
d. 100,000 Btu’s

Answer :

D. The input rating of the furnace is determined as 100,000 BTU.

What is input rating?

Input power rating means the power, expressed in Watts or one of its multiples, for which the energy storage unit has been designed to operate at nominal conditions.

eff = (output rating / input rating) x 100%

80/100 = 80,000 BTU / input rating

0.8 = 80,000 BTU / input rating

input rating = 80,000 BTU/0.8

input rating = 100,000 BTU

Thus, the input rating of the furnace is determined as 100,000 BTU.
