guide water heat-balance result at a 10 K design rise per kilowatt of liquid-captured heat
~1.43 L/min/kWderived
| Value kind | derived — Derived values are guide calculations; their result is only as fixed as the stated inputs, scope, and method. |
|---|---|
| Scope | A guide physics result, not an OCP or OEM flow specification. Apply it only to liquid-captured heat and recalculate with the approved fluid properties, selected ΔT, pressure budget, and product operating envelope. |
| As of | 2025 |
| Source | Guide heat-balance derivation using water properties at the declared design point |
| Derivation | Q = ṁ·cp·ΔT. Using water-like properties at the declared point, 1 kW / (4.18 kJ/kg·K × 10 K) = 0.0239 kg/s ≈ 1.43 L/min. Recalculate for the approved fluid and operating temperature. |
