Abyzz A400 Submerged Heat output

[AS]

Does any body know how much heat a submerged A400 will transfer to the water in the system? Either from an article or your own experience?

A simple answer of "X" degree's in my "Y" Gal System running at "Z" Percent Flow or if you have more detailed system parameters that you can share:
- Tank Volume
- Approximate Head pressure
- Average flow rate - 60%, 75%, 90% ETC
- If you your were ramping the flow up or don from day to night does flow rate impact the heat transfer? (assume it would)

Thanks

Mine runs on ca. 30 % in the sump of my 400 gal system with about 3 ft of head pressure. IThe pump does not feel warm at all and I need a heater to keep my tank at a minimum temp. of 23°C. The controller gets quite warm though, but it is mounted on the wall

What's the wattage the pump is planning to be running at? It'll put the same amount of heat as a heater of that same wattage on 24/7. If you adjust the flow, you're adjusting the size of the heater, so yeah that will impact things.

The display on the controller gives a wattage, but that is total wattage and that is dsitributed between the controller, which gets quite warm, and the pump itself. But the total wattage on the controller would give you a maximum estimate.

Now that I've learned a little since installing and running, the above is not correct.

The heat is pretty much goes to the heat sync in the separate controller and the pump itself does not really impact the temperture weather its running low or high.
