    Re: Choosing correct electrical heater

    If you want to heat a comfort air system then you can calculate by formula,
    P= Q X 0.36 X (T2-T1)
    where
    P= heating power in watts
    Q= air flow m3/h
    T1=temperature in coming air *C
    T2=required temperature out going air *C

    36 kW of electrical heater!
    That is his electrical power consumption AND his produced heating capacity.

    Why shameful? I answered your question! If you meant what dimension, it cannot be answered correctly, because it could be many dimensions and shapes for same power output.
    You got meaningful answer to your question.
    Rephrase your question in order to get answer which will satisfy your need.
    I am not mind reader, and I don't see any reason for you to be offended by my answer!
