Calculating the wattage requirements to heat a system is a straightforward process as long as all the possibilities of heat energy flowing in and out of the system are considered. Heat requirements that must be considered are:

* Initial heat for startup of the system, usually from an ambient temperature to a desired processing temperature.

* Losses due to materials changing phase, either during initial heatup or while processing (melting a solid to a liquid or boiling a liquid to a gas).

* Heating of material being processed during operation.

* Heating of ...
