Is there a formula to calculate the amount of natural gas required for a pool heater to raise the temperature of a swimming pool X degrees?

I have listed below the formula that we use to size pool heaters for our customers. This formula is used for an outdoor swimming pool. 1. Determine your desired water temperature. (75 degrees, 90 degrees, ect.) 2. Determine the average temp for the coldest month that you will be using the pool. Try www.weather.com. They are the best for breaking down the daily average temps by month. 3. Now subtract the average temp from the coldest month from the desired temperature of the water. (Subtract answer #2 from answer #1). This will give you the "temperature rise" needed. 4. You will need to calculate the swimming pool's surface area. (Length x Width) 5. Here is the tricky part: You will use the following formula to calculate the output of the heater. Pool surface Area x Temperature Rise x 12 (multiply answer to #4 by answer to #3.) This formula takes into consideration how much the temperature will rise per hour , what the average wind speed is at the pools surface. I would recommend calculating the formula yourself and then contacting a trained pool professional for accuracy. This formula is basic, but many other factors may be involved in your swimming pool that should be considered. I have had great service from Hayward and Jandy (Teledyne Laars) products. You can also call either manufacturer and they can recommend a pool professional in your area. Good Luck to you!!!

Calculate the metric temperature for 48 degrees Fahrenheit?
Subtract 32 than multiply by 5/9.
How do you calculate temperature from Fahrenheit to celsius?
Use this equation to convert degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) to degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC): [°C] = ([°F] - 32) × 0.556
What is the BTU required to raise the temperature of 10 pounds of water from 50 degrees to 70 degrees?
200 BTU. I'm assuming your temperatures are in Fahrenheit, since all of your other measurements are in the Imperial system. A BTU is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound water by 1 degree F, so the temperature is raised by 20 degrees, and 10 pounds of water: 20 x 10 = 200
If the temperature is -16 degrees and it drops 7 degrees what is the temperature?
- 23 degrees
What volume is occupied by 2.0g He at 25 degrees celsius and 775 mmHg?
A fixed quantity of gas at a constant pressure exhibits a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and occupies a volume of 10.0 L. Use Charles's law to calculate: the temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius in atmospheres if the volume is increased to 16.0 L
What is the lowest temperature to get in a pool?
The lowest temperature to get in a pool, especially a public swimming pool, is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit/ 21 degrees Celsius.
What is the body temperature of a fish swimming in 60 degrees of water?
The body temperature of a fish swimming around in water that is 60 degrees would be 60 degrees also. This is because fish, unlike mammals, are coldblooded; they do not waste energy keeping their body temperature constant. Their body temperature would match that of the water around them.
How many BTUs in 650 degrees F?
there is no conversion from temperature to BTU unless you know the mass and specific heat of a substance at a certain temperature. Then you could calculate the BTU required to heat the substance from a known starting temperature up to an ending temperature.
What is the safe hottest temperature for indoor private swimming pool?

Is temperature weather?
The simple answer is: nope! Temperature is only a measurement of how hot or cold something is relative to a fixed reference. Examples are: body temperature of someone with a fever (102 degrees versus the "normal" 98.6 degrees); the temperature of a baking oven (350 degrees); the warmth of water in a swimming pool (95 degrees).
What is the best temperature for swimming on beach?
