Mikesolar,

I think my Burnham CI NG RV-3 88% Eff. is a pretty darn good choice.
Should last 25 yrs + low maintenance.

I have had much trouble with mod-cons at high altitude. Never-again!

1. I have installed 3 top name brands and they all had problems fireing off, and yes, I have a nice combustion analyzer and they were setup correctly.

2. I don't think that they are designed or tested for high altitude.

3. Mod-cons don't condense very much up here so anything over 90% Eff. is fantasy.

4. Mod-cons seem to break too often.

NiHaoMike:

It's very low humidity here so no dehumidifier needed.

Would R410a or R22 scroll compressor work best with Propane R290 ?

I don't get: "high evaporating and condensing temperatures" why would I have this?

It looks like the TXV needs to be adjusted for 20-35K Superheat ?

what type of HX for IHX or what ever its called ?

I copied this somewhere:
"In other words: R290
profits in capacity and efficiency from useful superheat, the
use of a heat exchanger between the suction and liquid lines
is therefore an advantage."
