FOR THE ADDITION OF MATERIAL, CONTINUE WITH THE FOLLOWING STEPS IF REQUIRED.
| STEP SIX | The remaining factors to deal with are the addition of material being added to the tank such as solution or metal being dipped, washed or sprayed in the tank at a hourly rate. Temperature is the difference between the desired of the material being added the ambient temperature of this material. (EQUATION VI) |
|
|
|
| STEP SEVEN | Again in conjunction with step six we must consider the heat of fusion or vaporization of the material being added if needed. (EQUATION VII) |
|
|
|
| STEP EIGHT | With the completion of Equation VIII you have the KW required to offset any heat loss and the absorption of BTU by the addition of material at a given hourly rate. (EQUATION VIII) |
|
|
|
The final determination of KW required is the total of “A”, “B” and “C” plus a safety factor.
| A | = | KW required to : Heat the solution from ambient temperature to operating temperature in the allotted time. |
| B | = | KW required to: Replace the surface losses (from solution and container) at operating temperature. The losses are constant in this final computation. |
| C | = | KW required to: Raise the temperature (from ambient to operating) of material being added per hour, or to offset the heat being absorbed by cold material being inserted in a solution at operating temperature. |
The larger of the sum of the relationship of the above facts is the KW required to fit your needs.
| A. | + | B. |
+ 20 % |
= | D. |
| Required KW to heat media(solution) | Required KW to offset surface losses. | The required KW to achieve satisfactory results for this application. |
| B. | + | C. |
+ 20 % |
= | D. |
| Required KW to offset surface losses. | Required KW for the addition of additional material. | The required KW to achieve satisfactory results for this application. |
