How to calculate the heat output or dissipation (BTU) from an instrument - WKB7935

Article number: 7935

OBJECTIVE or GOAL

Calculate the heat output of an instrument in order to properly cool the laboratory.  

ENVIRONMENT

  • All instrumentation

PROCEDURE

  1. Your instrument's Site Preparation Guide should specify the heat dissipation in kW
  2. If no heat dissipation is specified you can take the typical power consumption as heat dissipation
  3. If you prefer the value in British Thermal Units per hour, multiply by 3412 (1kW = 3412 BTU/h)
