- Abstract
- The Fortran 77 computer program described in the report is to be used to calculate results from tests run on vented heaters. The Department of Energy recently published a revised test procedure for such heaters but which contains a simplified method for testing with a number of testing options that allow more detailed tests to be run. The new procedure also provides for the testing of units with manual controls of two types, modulating controls of two types, and the testing of units incorporating thermal stack dampers as well as electro-mechanical dampers. Once input selections have been made, the program performs the calculations required and prints out the results.
