Aspects Involved in Power Calculation of Explosion-Proof Electric Heaters and Operation Considerations - Yangzhou Darui
Darui Electric recommends for you
The calculation of heating power includes the following three aspects:
● Power during operation ● Power during startup ● Heat loss in the system
All calculations should consider the worst conditions:
● Low ambient temperature ● Short operation cycle
● Operating temperature ● Large weight of heating medium (large flow rate for flowing medium)
Steps for calculating heater power
● According to the process, draw the heating process flow diagram (without involving material form and specifications).
● Calculate the heat required for the process.
● Calculate the heat and time required for system startup.
● Redraw the heating process flow diagram, consider an appropriate safety factor, and determine the total power of the heater.
● Determine the sheath material and power density of the heating element.
● Determine the form, size, and quantity of the heater.
● Determine the power supply and control system of the heater.
