Submersible pump heat gain
Submersible pump heat gain
(OP)
Looking for a rule of thumb to estimate heat gained from a submersible pump in a temperature sensitive aquatic system. Have a 17.6 KW pump sized @ 75% efficiency, what precentage of wasted energy can I assume or calculate will be transmitted to the water system as heat?

All water is recirculated within the system, and will be subject to ambient conductive and convection surface area losses which I need to calculate.
