Industrial heating unit

Overview:

All calculations for industrial heaters should consider the worst-case scenarios.

Low environmental temperature

● Short operation cycle

High operating temperature

● Large weight of heating medium (for flowing medium, it is high flow rate)

Steps for Calculating the Power of a Workover Heater

● Draw a process flow diagram for heating, based on the process involved (excluding material form and specifications).

Calculate the heat required for the process.

Calculate the heat and time required for the computer system to start up.

Re-draw the heating process flowchart, considering an appropriate safety factor, and determine the total power of the heater.

Determine the sheath material for the heating element and power density.

Determine the form, size, and quantity of the heaters.

● Determine the heater's power supply and control system.
