The fh of a product is dependent not only on the nature of the product, but also on the container dimensions. CALSoft’s fh Conversion Tool allows you to convert the fh of a product from one container size to another, based on the equations by Schultz and Olson (convection heating) and Olson and Jackson (conduction heating).
CAUTION: there are limitations on the conversion of fh values from one product to another. If you are unsure of these limitation and how they may apply to your product, please consult a competent Process Authority for advice.
To use the fh Conversion Utility choose the TOOLS option from the Ribbon menu in any of the CALSoft sections or from the CALSoft Main Dashboard, and click "FH Conversion."
The fh Conversion Utility worksheet will appear.
The following information needs to be completed to perform the fh conversion:
- Convection/Conduction heating
- Container dimensions of original container
- Container dimensions of desired container
- fh of original container
Once this information is entered, the estimated converted fh will automatically be listed in the "fh of Desired Container" field. To print this fh Conversion, click the "Print" button.
