A special video on the road today, to explain how to calculate the heating and cooling load<\/strong>, that is the amount of thermal energy to be added or removed to a certain production process in order to achieve a required temperature regulation<\/strong>. In this case we face the problem applied to the heating or cooling load for a thermoregulating unit<\/strong><\/a> on a pharmaceutical reactor<\/strong><\/a>.
\nThere is a wide range of machinery and equipments in use in the pharma and chemical industry<\/a>, and the calculation method of the heating and cooling load depends on the kind of machine employed.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the most common way is to consider the volume of the reactor<\/strong> to be thermoregulated, and the physical properties of the kind of product<\/strong> processed, in particular its specific weight and specific heat capacity. Following, the heating and cooling curves<\/strong> required by the application must be known, that is the starting and final temperatures to be reached, and the time frame required<\/strong> to complete the heating and cooling cycles of the products.<\/p>\n
