In Structural Design , a design load is in fact greater than the load which the system is expected to support. This is because engineers incorporate a Safety Factor in their design, in order to ensure that the system will be able to support at least the expected loads (called Specified Loads , despite any problems with construction, materials, etc that go unnoticed during construction. A Heater would have a general design load, meaning the maximum amount of heat it can produce. A bridge would have a specified load, with the design load being determined by engineers and applied as a theoretical load indended to ensure the actual real-world capacity of the specified load.
