Control of air heating inside the tank
Thread Content
I would like to ask for advice: I need to control the air temperature inside a horizontal tank with a volume of 0.7 cubic meters. There is no liquid in the tank, and the air pressure is between negative pressure and 0.15 MPa(a). I plan to wrap some resistance wires evenly around the tank, and by changing the DC voltage, control the output power in order to regulate the air temperature. Do you all think it’s feasible? When calculating the power of the resistance wire, does the weight of the tank need to be taken into account? Or should we only consider the air inside the tank?
As long as the power of the heating wire is greater than the heat dissipated by the tank to the outside, temperature control can be achieved; to speed things up, simply increase the power
