20.1 Calculation for Superheated Steam Example: 340kg per hour of steam with 90% quality, having an inlet gauge pressure of 700kPa is to be superheated to a temperature of 230°C. How many kilowatts of power is required? From the reference guide (see next page): 1. Plot a point equalling 700kPa on the centre reference line of the pressure and saturated temp scale (P). 2. From that point, mark a line through 90% on the quality scale (Q) to the watt hour/weight scale (W). The answer is 82.5 Watts/kilogram. 3. Note that the saturated temperature of steam at 700kPa is 170°C. A temperature of 230°C is required, therefore a 60°C temperature rise is needed. 4. From the point of 700kPa plotted on the centre reference line of P, mark a line through 60°C on the S scale to the W scale. The answer is approximately 200 Watts/kilogram. 5. Subtract 82.5 from 200 = 117.5 6. Power required Always add 20% for loss Total power Answer
= Weight x Watt hour/kilogram = 340kg x 117.5 = 39,950 Watts + 7,990 Watts = 47,940 Watts = 48kW
Definitions Saturated Temperature is the temperature at which water boils at a given pressure. At zero gauge pressure the temperature is 100°C (212°F), as steam pressure increases the saturated temperature increases - refer to the P reference scale. Quality of Steam is the amount of moisture present in the steam, which is measured as the percentage of the total weight. Quality of steam 100% minus the percentage of moisture content, therefore dry steam has 100% quality. Degrees of Superheat is the increase of steam temperature above the inlet saturated temperature. Watt hour per Weight is the power required to superheat the steam above the saturated temperature. This is known as Watts per hour per kilogram (pound) required. Weight of Steam per hour is the flow rate of steam which will be passing through the electric heating unit per hour. This information is vital for the most efficient design of the heater.

20.9 Formulae and Conversion Tables To calculate kW required to raise the temperature of a product, the following formula may be used. This formula provides net kW to raise temperature by a desired degree in a desired time. It does not allow for inefficiencies due to heat loss through insulation etc. or changes of state.
V x p x Cp x ΔT t
=
kW required
V = Volume required (m3) p = Density (kg/m3) Cp = Specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) ΔT = Required temperature change (°C) t = Required heating time in seconds Note: 1. (V x p) can be substituted by kg in this formula when heating solids such as metals. 2. 1000 litres = 1m³ For flow line heating use m³ per hour flow rate to achieve kW and/or ΔT. For more accurate check use the following formula:
kW x 3600 4.187 x ΔT
=
m³/h (For water only)
Forced air heating formula
Example: Air is circulated through a heater duct by a 1000CFM blower. The air enters the duct at 35°C and is heated to 120°C Select one of two formulae: 1. kW = m³/s x ΔT x 1.278 2.
Convert 1000 CFM to L/s (refer to table) = 1000 x 0.472 = 472 litres/sec kW = L/s x ΔT = 472 x 85 783 783 kW = 51.25 20% safety factor = 10.25 kW = 61.50 The heaters required will total 62kW
