I have listed below the formula that we use to size pool heaters for our customers. This formula is used for an outdoor swimming pool. 1. Determine your desired water temperature. (75 degrees, 90 degrees, ect.) 2. Determine the average temp for the coldest month that you will be using the pool. Try www.weather.com. They are the best for breaking down the daily average temps by month. 3. Now subtract the average temp from the coldest month from the desired temperature of the water. (Subtract answer #2 from answer #1). This will give you the "temperature rise" needed. 4. You will need to calculate the swimming pool's surface area. (Length x Width) 5. Here is the tricky part: You will use the following formula to calculate the output of the heater. Pool surface Area x Temperature Rise x 12 (multiply answer to #4 by answer to #3.) This formula takes into consideration how much the temperature will rise per hour , what the average wind speed is at the pools surface. I would recommend calculating the formula yourself and then contacting a trained pool professional for accuracy. This formula is basic, but many other factors may be involved in your swimming pool that should be considered. I have had great service from Hayward and Jandy (Teledyne Laars) products. You can also call either manufacturer and they can recommend a pool professional in your area. Good Luck to you!!!

How can you convert a temp. expressed in degrees Celsius to kelvins?

To convert a temperature from degrees Celsius to kelvins, you simply add 273.15 to the Celsius value. The formula is: ( K = °C + 273.15 ). For example, if the temperature is 25°C, you would calculate ( 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K ). This conversion is essential in scientific contexts where absolute temperature is required.

How many BTU to reach 900 deg C?

To determine the amount of BTU (British Thermal Units) required to reach a temperature of 900 degrees Celsius, you need to know the mass of the substance being heated and its specific heat capacity. The formula to calculate the BTUs required is: BTU = mass (lbs) × specific heat (BTU/lb°F) × temperature change (°F). Since 900 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 1652 degrees Fahrenheit, the energy required will vary based on the material you are heating. For an accurate calculation, specific details about the material's mass and specific heat capacity are needed.


How do you calculate temperature from Fahrenheit to celsius?

Use this equation to convert degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) to degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC): [°C] = ([°F] - 32) × 0.556


What is the BTU required to raise the temperature of 10 pounds of water from 50 degrees to 70 degrees?

200 BTU. I'm assuming your temperatures are in Fahrenheit, since all of your other measurements are in the Imperial system. A BTU is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound water by 1 degree F, so the temperature is raised by 20 degrees, and 10 pounds of water: 20 x 10 = 200

How do you calculate temperature range below 0?

To calculate the temperature range below 0 degrees, subtract the lowest temperature from the highest temperature. For example, if the lowest temperature is -10 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature is -2 degrees Celsius, the temperature range would be 8 degrees Celsius (-2 - (-10) = 8).


What is the lowest temperature to get in a pool?

The lowest temperature to get in a pool, especially a public swimming pool, is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit/ 21 degrees Celsius.


What is the body temperature of a fish swimming in 60 degrees of water?

The body temperature of a fish swimming around in water that is 60 degrees would be 60 degrees also. This is because fish, unlike mammals, are coldblooded; they do not waste energy keeping their body temperature constant. Their body temperature would match that of the water around them.

How many BTUs in 650 degrees F?

there is no conversion from temperature to BTU unless you know the mass and specific heat of a substance at a certain temperature. Then you could calculate the BTU required to heat the substance from a known starting temperature up to an ending temperature.


What is the safe hottest temperature for indoor private swimming pool?

A swimming pool at 40 degrees is hotter than a cup of water at 40 degrees?

While both the swimming pool and the cup of water are at the same temperature of 40 degrees, the swimming pool contains a much larger volume of water compared to the cup. Therefore, the swimming pool has more thermal energy stored in it despite being at the same temperature.
