Hydraulic Heat Calculator

The Hydraulic Heat Calculator can help to understand heat issues within a system

The Hydraulic Heat Calculator is a valuable tool that can help in designing, troubleshooting and correcting heat issues within a system. There are many calculation screens that can be used to determine heat generation from pumps/motors, Tank heat dissipation, Radiator sizing /performance, and others.

Specific Calculations include:

- Enter Oil Volume and Power input to determine rate of temperature change

- Enter system flow, inlet and outlet radiator temperatures to determine radiator performance

- Enter pressure and oil flow to determine temperature increase and heat generated

- Enter motor/pump specs to determine temperature increase and heat generated

- Estimate power required to heat oil tanks in cold environments

- Estimate tank heat dissipation

- Empirical cooling calculation to determine radiator size requirement

All calculations can be done in metric or imperial units.
