Miscellaneous Heat Load For Industrial machines

[Miraak997]

I have a multiple machines in a single zone, which I need to cool, I'm stuck at figuring out the percentage of heat gain from these machines out of the total electric power consumption.

I was lucky yo get the power consumption, the machines are shrink wrapping machines and sachet packaging machines.

I just want to know the average percentage to use for such machines to get the amount of the heat load.

This has been such a pain in every single industrial project, since the client wouldn't provide and documentation or data for the machines.

Typically all the work done by these type of machines is 100 percent converted to heat. However, the work done is rarely as much as the nameplate capacity of the machine. The actual work can be measured or calculated using some physics and some assumptions.

Power meter?

What did you actually get?

Nameplate data?
Power measured at some random moment?
Power v time for a day?
Something else?

Actually it was just the nameplate data.

Only the nameplate
