How many kw to heat a 300 liter cylinder?

Answer 1

To determine the kilowatts (kW) required to heat a 300-liter cylinder, you need to consider the temperature rise needed and the time in which you want to achieve that. The energy required can be calculated using the formula: energy (in kWh) = volume (in liters) × temperature rise (in °C) × 4.186 (specific heat of water). For example, to raise the temperature of 300 liters of water by 50°C in one hour, you would need approximately 62.79 kW.
