| "Temperature Rise Resistive Heat Method. Although this method is not as accurate as the use of test equipment, a method of determining the indoor airflow in a system employing electric resistance heat as the backup heat source is by the Temperature Rise Method and is calculated using the following formula: using the following formula:
CFM = KW(Volts X Amps) X 3.413 divided by (Temp rise X 1.08) WHERE:
I am trying to determine temperature rise of my Heat Pump.I have a clamp on type multimeter. How do I go about where do I measure Volts at the Indoor Section? In addition, how and where to measure Amps at the Indoor Section? |

| If you knew the kw's of heat strip package, you wouldn't have to measure anything. I have a 15 kw heat strip kit in my air handler. When measuring the temperature rise after the strips, make sure that the air is mixed well (after a 90 turn in the ductwork) or you will get high temp readings. Good luck. |
