Hi
I've just spent half an hour joining and trying to post on an electrical forum, failed, need to post at least 10 posts about something I don't know anything about before starting a thread. Tried answering some ones post and it came up with some computer cobbledigoop. So falling short of throwing my computer through my window I came back here for some calm and sanity. deep breath.
I'm hoping there is an electrical expert amongst us.
Right, If I decided to heat an enclosure up with a number CHE's connected to thermostats controlled to 25/30degc. What would be the most economical. 150w CHE's or 250w CHE's.
I'm under the impression that when the 250w CHE kicks in at 25degc it will get to 30degc faster. So it will use more power but in a shorter time than the 150w CHE. This in theory means my torts would be at the ideal 30deg more often, rather than waiting for a 150w CHE to get there for a longer period.
Does anyone know what the formula is to work out the power consumption used in both scenarios.
Thank you
Craig
