Issue:
Questions about how much heat each part of a Conext system uses.
Product Line:
Conext Battery Based Inverters
Conext MPPT Solar Charge Controllers
Environment:
Battery based inverter in an enclosed environment.
Cause:
Proper system design needs to account for system cooling.
Resolution:
The power in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr) is equal to 3.412141633 times the power in watts (W):
P
(BTU/hr) = 3.412141633 × P
(W)
The efficiency and load of each unit can be used to calculate power loss in watts and then the above formula can be used to convert to BTU/hr.
