SCFM = Air flow in Standard* Cubic Feet per Minute
Tinlet = Inlet Air Temperature (°F) (typically 70°F)
Texit = Desired Exit Air Temperature (°F)
 |
Example: Heating 10 SCFM from ambient temperature (70°F) to 800°F:
| KW = | 10 SCFM x (800°F – 70°F) | = 2.9 kW |
| | 2500 | |
Conversion Formulas:
(Liters per Minute)/28.3 = Cubic Feet per Minute
°C = 5/9 (°F – 32)
°F = 9/5°C + 32
