    I think you may have wanted to post this question in the heating-air-conditioning forum If I had the power to move you over there, I would.
    Just leave it here for now, and I'll notify one of the mods to help you.

    Meanwhile there is a chart at the bottom of this page that may help you:

    Edit:
    Contacted mod, help is on the way.
