Calculation of the heating wattage refers to the following three point :
Wattage for working
Wattagefor startup
System heat loss
All the calculation should be under the worst condition:
The lowest ambient temp.
Max process Temp.
The shortest process cycle
Max weight for heating medium (as for flowing medium ,it is the max flux)
The step for designing the heater system:
According to the craftwork process, draw the technical flow chart of the heater. (It doesn't contain material and specification) Calculating the needed energy for the craftwork Calculating the needed energy and time while the system startup Re-draw technical flow chart, and consider the right safety factor, and confirm the total wattage for the heater. Confirming the jacket material for the hating component and wattage density. Confirming the size and amount for the heater Confirming the power supply and control system for the heater
