Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Hot Water Mixing Calculator, formulas, and expected usage.

How is hot-water mixing calculated?

The hot-water fraction is (target minus cold) divided by (hot minus cold), then multiplied by total flow.

Why must target temperature be between hot and cold inputs?

A mixed temperature outside the source range is physically impossible without heating or cooling beyond the two source streams.

What is this calculator useful for?

It is useful for tempering-valve setup, domestic hot water balancing, and estimating required hot-water capacity.

Does this include pipe heat loss?

No. This is an ideal mixing calculation at the blending point and does not include downstream heat loss.
