Heat Gain (sensible kw) from dryers calculation
Heat Gain (sensible kw) from dryers calculation
(OP)
Hello experts,
I've been trying to calculate the sensible heat gain from a commercial dryer for the past two days but no positive results. Can someone here guide me on how it can be done. Thanks

Gas or electric?
Heat gain will be a percentage of input.

Qs=cfm*1.08*(dt)
Qs=3600*1.08*(70)=272MBH bringing air from 70degF to 140degF, now if the discharge temp is higher, you will have less gain to the room, as your dT will be larger.
550MBH-272MBH=278MBH gain. See what the outlet temp is and you will have it.

It's a drier remember. You are vaporizing maybe 40 pounds of water in the process. You need to work out the latent process as well.
Then energy balance approach will work of course, you just need to account for all of the energy.
