Electric Immersion Heater Sizing Calculator
A #numberformat(btuh,9999.99)# kW electric immersion heater required for heatup specification.
For maintaining process bath temperature, a #numberformat(hop,9999.99)# kW electric immersion heater is required. In terms of kWs of electric heater capacity required, here is a breakdown of each component of operational heat loss covered by this analysis: Some items not considered by this analysis:
- Surface: #numberformat((hl1+hl3)/3412,9999.99)#
- Walls: #numberformat(hl2/3412,9999.99)#
- Parts: #numberformat(hl4/3412,9999.99)#
- Dragin: #numberformat(hl5/3412,9999.99)#
- The difference in the specific heat of various parts and racks (0.1 is used which is a fair estimate for most metals. Plastics have a higher specific heat).
- Air agitation. Air agitation will increase heat loss.
- Fouling of the heater.
- Solution additions (can be added to the drag-in number).
