What is the incoming temp of water

Heat load = flow x especific heat x delta T
Macht units

delta t = out temp - in temp

You need

32000 liter/hr * 1 * (93 - 80 ) = 416000 cal/hr / 80 % effiecience = 520000 Cal / Hr

By definition 1 cal , is the heat to rise 1 gram of water from 20° C to 21°C
And 1Cal is the heat to rise 1000 Grams or 1 Kg

Sorry , i missplaced the units.

It is 520000 Cal/hr or also call Grand calorie , also it is named Kcal

So for 32000 liter , or Kg , not taking in count the specific volumen by delta-t= 93-80= 13 degree
so heat load is 416000 Kcal or Cal.

the Kcal to Kw . 1 Kw = 860 Kcal

Sorry againg, if I did a misstake.
