<HTML>Peter,
Your 6GPH design parameters sound good to me, 6GPH and 95 sq.in. of gas pass area gives a gas mass flow of about 1000 and with a crossflow boiler should do well. The mass flow could be increased a few times in the cooler economiser section. 6 fins per inch is very safe as it allows about 1/8th inch distance between the fins, you could always go to 4 or 8, for those like ourselves its what we find cheap that is near the ideal is what we will use/afford. Than at least our "junkpiles" havent cost us a whole lot!!
By the way this thread is getting endangered of being slid to an "older messages" page so if you don't see it on the first page go to the second and we can continue.
Good luck, George</HTML>
