PROPANE HEATER TANK

Posts Tagged ‘Size’

With a boiler 199,000 btuh providing heating only (fin tube radiators)in a 3 bedroom house with 1 kitchen and 3 baths (2500 sq. ft. total area). How big is the propane tank have to be in order to provide heating through the entire heating season say 6 months without refilling the tank. please advise. Please note that the house will only be heated 4 hours per day.

I’m looking to move to All-Grain and have a Turkey Fryer picked out that *says* it features a 40,000 BTU burner. If I were to do a full boil of 6.5 Gal of wort, how much propane would I have to estimate using for a typical 1 hr boil…and will a 40k BTU burner even work for that?

If I used the BBQ size tank to run a stove would I use the regulator from a BBQ grill or the regulator that was on the 100 gallon tank that used to provide the gas for the stove?
Basically my question is:
Will the BBQ size tank be too small for the larger regulator?

generac air cooled 15/16 kw ….owners manual says natural gas = 173@half load, 245@full load and propane=1.59/59@half load,2.51/92@full load…nat gas is in cubic ft,lp is in gallons per hour/cubic ft….so with lp(propane) how big of a tank(gallons) do i need to run at half load for 5 days?

We’re thinking of getting a counter-flow, direct vent propane heater.

I have a small Dearborn heater that was used on natural gas, Need to change orifice for LPG operation.
