How to calculate the heat output of electric heating for tanks?
Thread Content
There is a storage tank equipped with electric heating, and the tank is fitted with a safety valve. Now it is necessary to calculate the discharge capacity of this safety valve. Based on thermal expansion, how should the heat required for this tank be calculated? Urgent question.
Electric heating for storage tanks is simply meant to maintain the temperature; what expansion is needed?
At a certain storage temperature, the heat generated by the maximum heating power is equal to the energy required to convert a certain amount of liquid in that tank into gas (the enthalpy difference between liquid and gas). This specific amount of gas is the quantity that the safety valve must discharge.
