Heat Dissipation Capacity of Steel Reservoirs

Surface Area (sq ft)    Temp Diff (°F)          Heat Dissipation
   =
Example: If the oil temperature is 140 degrees fahrenheit, and the air temperature is 75 degrees fahrenheit, how much heat will a reservoir with 20 square feet of surface area dissipate?
Formula: 0.001 x Surface Area x Difference between oil and air temperature = horsepower
Heating Hydraulic Fluid Nodes:
1 HP = 2,544 BTU per Hour
1 watt will raise the temperature of 1 gallon by 1°F per hour
Horsepower x 745.7 = watts
Watts ÷ 1000 = kilowatts
