BTU Output of Centrifuges
(OP)
Does anyone know how I can measure or caculate the BTU output of a few centrifuges that we have in our labs. Apparently, if the output is above 10% of the other equipment I will ahve to do a room mapping.

If the samples are of large quantity AND immediately removed however, then you would have to somehow determine how much heat transferred into them, maybe just a simple little differential measurement.

If you just have an on-off switch though, and a mechanical brake, then all the above is true, every bit of power you send to your motor will be converted to heat in the room with a 100% efficacy.
