Not all the above list apply to all applications. Please apply the appropriate information to fit your needs. With the above information you can now apply the necessary equation to determine:

  1. Wattage required for initial heat up.
  2. Wattage to maintain operating temperature.

To confirm your findings please consult your local sales office with your information.

A. Wattage required for initial heat up.

Equation I Weight of
Material
X Specific
Heat
X Temp. Difference
(See Step One)
= KW

3412


Equation II Weight of Material
added per hour
X Heat of Fusion
or Vaporization
= KW

3412


Equation III I + II = KW Required
for initial heat up.

Hrs. Allowed
for heat up.


Equation IV Exposed surface area
in sq. ft.
X Watts lost per sq. ft.
at final temperature
use graphs 1-5
=KW

1000


Equation V III + IV = KW Total required for heat up
and to maintain tank.
