Q. How to calculate calorific value?
The calorific value in power supply depends on power consumption as well as other electronic equipment. The calorific value is shown as following.
1 [Ws] = 1 [J]
It can be expressed in "cal" as follows as well.
1 [Ws] = 4.2 [cal]
For example, the power consumption of a power supply shown in the following spec can be calculated as follows.
[Spec]
- Output voltage: 5V
- Output current: 10A
- Efficiency: 80%
- Operating time: 1hr
| Internal Power Loss: P | = | Active Power - Output Power |
| = | (Output Voltage x Output Current / Efficiency) - (Output Voltage x Output Current) |
|
| = | (5 x 10 / 0.8) - (5 x 10) | |
| = | 12.5 [W] | |
| Calorific Value: J | = | Internal Power Loss [W] x Time [s] |
| = | 12.5 x 3,600 | |
| = | 45,000 [J] | |
| = | 45,000 / 4.2 | |
| = | 10,714 [cal] |
