Propane Fuel Installation Specifications - Loring S15 Falcon Pre-Installation Manual

Operating gas pressure
In order to provide proper burner operation, it is critical that a constant operating pressure is
available. Loring roasters require the following pressures to operate in all situations.
• Natural gas: 4 in.WC to 7 in.WC (1.0 kPa to 1.7 kPa)
• Propane: 11 in.WC to 13 in.WC (2.7 kPa to 3.2 kPa)
A regulator or a combination of regulators may be needed to attain the proper operating pressure.

Propane Fuel Installation Specifications

BTU minimum requirements of the Loring S15 roaster.
S15 Falcon requires a 130,000 BTU/hr (33K kcal/h) gas supply.
Note: These are peak BTU requirements and the average can be less, based on usage.
BTU delivery is based upon 11" water column (WC) (2.7 kPa) dynamic flow with a maximum of 13"
WC (3.2 kPa).
Components of a Propane System:
• Propane Tank(s)
• 3/8" (0.95 cm) x 3' (91 cm) long flexible gas line(s) (hog-tail, depending on how many tanks are
in the manifold)
POL TEE(s) if making a manifold
»
Additional 3/8" (0.95 cm) x 3' (91 cm) long flexible gas line(s) (hog-tail, depending on how

many tanks are in the manifold)
• Hi Pressure Regulator 10 PSI (70 kPa)
Sometimes an additional 2 PSI (14 kPa) regulator is required
»
• Low Pressure Regulator 11" WC (2.7 kPa)
• Gas Pipe properly sized for distance between regulators and BTU/hr requirement
Flexible gas line 3/4" (1.9 cm) x 3' (91 cm) for S15)

• Gas Meter (sometime required to meet Permit Conditions)
