Strange!!!, in the admittedly very old tables I have, it says:

For a flow velocity not exceeding 0.75 m/sec (recommended for domestic)
22mm 7.6kW
15mm 3.07kW
10mm no figures.

For a flow velocity not exceeding 1m/sec (recommended for industrial)
22mm 14.65kW
15mm 4.7kW
10mm no figures

These carrying capacities are calculated on a temperature drop of 11deg C
in the system.

The figures are so far apart from the previous contributor there must be
an error somewhere.


11 deg C drop.. condensing boilers need a bigger drop so the water has to
give out more heat.
