Sorry Zekeman. I thought that my original question was straight forward. The extra tank is bypassed during the cycle in question, so I didn’t think it needed to be mentioned. I am trying to heat the test valve, not the 2nd tank of water. I suppose you are right. We will just end this...

OK. I appreciate the knowledge and talent here, and your help. The system has other features, but I didn’t want to complicate the original question. I have a non-disclosure agreement with the customer, so I was trying to be a little vague. Sorry. I could show you photos and schematics...

Hi Zekeman. Yes, the 6 gpm and the 10F less at subsequent points seemed steady for three hours or so. The tank was 180F. The next measurement point is about 5 tube- ft away after a few large SS valves and tees. The last measurement point is after some more valves, tees, and hose another 5...

Thanks ione. The tank is actually a heated water bath (rated to 200F) with 600W heater and rated at 2048 output BTU. We added two 1100W immersion heaters. It has insulation below in its cabinet, but not great insulation. We had a pipe welded to the tank bottom for the pump suction line...

Thanks Zekeman. The exit port falls into the return bucket because the test valve is motorized and rotating. The guard around this zone where I lose some water as the condensation drips out. The tanks heats to 200F in less than an hour. I appreciate your 4500W estimate. This info what I was...

Yes, the tank heats to 200F with the water not flowing. When we start to flow, the tank temp drops to 160F, and after a while it goes up and settles at 180F. Meanwhile, we have two other thermometers in the system, one close to the pump output, and another closer to the test valve input...

A centrifugal pump draws H2O from the heated tank, and pushes the water to a series of plumbing fittings and up into a couple ports of the motorized rotary valve. The water exits the valve through open ports at the bottom, falls into a drain system back to the pump. Actually we added some...

Thanks for the response. The water circulates to heat a complex rotary valve which is being tested. The valve is of 316SS, and weighs about 75 lbs. We are going to be testing the valve through numerous cycles which simulate the actual operation during production in the pharmaceuticals...

Watts needed to heat a water circulating system. I am trying to heat a closed recirculating fluid system from room temp to 194F, in less than an hour. Currently with 2800 Watts into the 5 gallon tank of deionized water, the system peeks at 180F after three hours with the water flowing. I’m...
