*'Break-even' condition is when all heat required for maintaining Catalyst Entrance Temperature (T1) is recovered from combustion of vapors.
The average molecular weight of Gasoline is about 114, but 87 is closer to the average extracted molecular weight of the vapors.
Values shown are based on factory test data. Site conditions may affect performance. For reference only.
Daily power use and electric cost assume 24 hr/day operation. Standard temperature for this calculation is 20°C (68°F)
