Q = P = V x I x Power factor Efficiency
In this example, using a power factor of 0.85: In this example, use an efficiency of 0.7:
= 1.0 [kVA] x 0.85 = 0.85 [kW] = 850 [W] 800
= = 1143 [W]
Cooling capacity = Considering a safety factor of 20%, 0.7
850 [W] x 1.2 = 1020 [W] Cooling capacity = Considering a safety factor of 20%,
1143 [W] x 1.2 = 1372 [W]
The above examples calculate the heat generation amount based on the power consumption.
The actual heat generation amount may differ due to the structure of customers machine.
Please be sure to check it carefully.
Example 2: When the heat generation amount in the customers machine is not known.
Obtain the temperature difference between inlet and outlet by circulating the circulating fluid inside the customers machine.
Heat generation amount by customers machine Q : Unknown [W] ([J/s])
Circulating fluid : Clear water
Example of conventional measurement units (Reference)
Circulating fluid mass flow rate qm : (= R x qv 60) [kg/s]
Heat generation amount by customers machine Q : Unknown [cal/h] m [W]

Note) This is the calculated value by changing the fluid temperature only.
Thus, it varies substantially depending on the water bath or piping shape.
1. This catalog uses the following values for density and specific heat capacity in calculating the required cooling capacity.
Density R: 1 [kg/L] (or, using conventional unit system, weight volume ratio : = 1 [kgf/L ] )
Specific heat capacity C: 4.19 x 103 [J/(kgK)] (or, using conventional unit system, 1 x 103 [cal/(kgfoC)])
2. Values for density and specific heat capacity change slightly according to temperature shown below. Use this as a reference.
