I have the little blue Burnham book on page 52 the chart seams to make no sence to me. Does anyone know what the 6 different colums are in referance to? I did attach a picture of one of the units so anyone who can help me can see what type of convectors Iam dealing with.

    has the chart on Page 67 but I believe we are talking about the same thing, convectors. The columns have the numbers 18 20 24 26 32 and 38?



    Those refer to the convector cabinet height in inches. You will notice higher outputs for a given convector and this is due to the chimney effect a higher convector height will give you.
