guide water heat-balance result at a 10 K design rise per kilowatt of liquid-captured heat
~1.44 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 the product's operating limits. |

| Derivation | Q = ṁ·cp·ΔT. Water at 20 °C (998 kg/m³, 4.182 kJ/kg·K), 10 K rise: 1 kW × 60 / (4.182 × 10) = 1.435 kg/min ÷ 0.998 kg/L = 1.438 L/min ≈ 1.44. Recalculate for the approved fluid and operating temperature. |
