How the calculator treats it

A common DIY size. Flow is a hard gate: the calculator treats 396 GPH as the minimum manufacturer requirement.

Capacity basis: Manufacturer publishes 3,010 BTU/h, 396-925 GPH and a performance curve at 88°F ambient.

The engine applies a low-temperature/high-ambient capacity band rather than assuming the nameplate BTU remains exact under every condition. Internal chiller pressure drop is also represented as a range, so a hydraulic PASS is only strong when it survives that uncertainty.
