Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

(OP)
We have installed a machine which produces steam at the rate of 720 kg/ hr.
That steam is used for heating a juice.
Because of that heat the entire room gets heated upto 49 degree celcius.
Can any body tell me what is the heat rejection rate in kcal/hr so that we can fit AC in that room?

RE: Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

With only the information that you provided, no, nobody can tell you the heat rejection rate.

RE: Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

What form of energy is used for the heating? If electric or gas, the heat flow into the room is easy to determine however, a lot of this heat will be leaving the room by conduction, convection and presumably juice moving out of the room at a higher temperature than when it came in.

Engineering is the art of creating things you need, from things you can get.

RE: Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

(OP)
yes the mode of energy used is electric for heating gas.

RE: Heat Generation of a machine in kcal/hr

In the iterim, I would put a ceiling fan and open wide all windows.

can any body tell me how magnehelic gauge installed for HVAC across the filters works?
I mean to ask if it shows less reading what does it mean and if if it is showing high reading what does it mean.
