GE Elec Motor from the 50's Heating Load?
(OP)
Hi,
I have been asked to have a contractor to place a sound encloser around a 50's model GE motor that was 2000 hp and sometime in the last 12 years was rewound to be 2500 hp. Since it was rewound GE will not give me even a suggestion of the heating load and the amount of air needed to cool it. What would be the best way to calculate this.
thanks Trav

If you want to do it a bit more scientific measure the surface temperature and set up a simple heat transfer model. Solve for the heat load.
