Calculate below the necessary size of your heater /boiler. This sheet is to be considered as a guidance and is of no obligations / responsibilities of AB&CO.
FLUID - COLD SIDE 4 1 = Water (above 90%); 2 = Oil (above 90%)
3 = Air / Flue gas / Nitrogen (above 90%) 4 = Others - State value of Specific Heat :
Specific Heat : 3.50 kJ/(kg°C)
(only option 4) 0.836 BTU/(lb°F)
Alternative 1 Heating up a current fluid (during flow through)
Alternative 2 Heating up a stationary fluid in tank during a certain time
CHOOSE ALTERNATIVE 2 1 = Alternative 1; 2 = Alternative 2
Alternative 1 Heating up a Flow
Mass Flow 10,000 kg/h = 22,050 lb/h
Alternative 2 Heating up a Stationary Content
Tank Content 100,000 kg 220,500 lb
Heating Time 2 hours
Temperature, Inlet 50 °C = 122.0 °F
Temperature, Outlet 65 °C = 149.0 °F
Net Minimum Capacity 729.2 kW = 2,486,458 BTU/h
Add extra 5 - 15% for heat loss depending on the extent of the thermal insulation
Extra Capacity 10 %
Total Necessary Capacity 802.1 kW = 2,735,104 BTU/h
FLUID - HOT SIDE 2 1 = Saturated Steam; 2 = Electrical
3 = Thermal Fluid Paratherm NF; 4 = Hot Water 5 = Others liquids - State value of Specific Heat
