how much propane

Robert O'Connor_3

How much propane would you expect to use in this case:
300k RBI Dominator derated for 5000' altitude. The heat loss load is about 200k. This customer claimes to have used 563 gallons in one month.

Depends

On the actual load. (200K) is that at design? A three hundred K anything will eat propane at a little over 3 gallons an hour when firing. Dependiong on the price of propane it might not be at all bad.

So about

18.76 gallons per day? At @ 92,000btu/ gallon, like Steve said you burn over 3 gallons per hour. So 6 hours of burn time per day?

Sounds low to me. Of course it depends on the weather in your area.
