Initial heating
m × Cp × ΔT divided by the available time.
Preliminarily calculate the power required to raise the temperature of a volume, mass or flow rate within a given time.
Example
Base power is calculated from mass, specific heat, temperature rise and time. Then an indicative margin is added for losses and real operating conditions.
m × Cp × ΔT divided by the available time.
The margin helps estimate losses through the tank, environment, insulation and heat transfer.
Then the heater type, sheath, flange, connection and allowable watt density are defined.
The result can be copied and sent to the technical team.
