Home > Blog Archive > Category: Thermal Corp Vlog > How Much Wattage Is Needed for a Heater?

 

This vlog is based on a previous blog we posted called “Temperature versus Heat Loss in a Heater”. In this video, Thermal Corporation Engineer, Kyle Otte, explains how to calculate the exact wattage needed for any type of industrial heater for your heating process.

How Wattage Is Calculated

rate of energy consumption equation for calculating wattage, e equals m times cp times change in T all divided by t

The Rate of Energy Consumption equation above is used to calculate the wattage, where

  • E is the energy required for the process (or the total watts needed)
  • m is the mass in kilograms (kg)
  • Cp is the heat in Joules/kg°C
  • delta T is the change in temperature (°C)
  • t is the time in seconds
