Smarter Heating & Hot Water
Calculators / Flow Rate to Energy Used

Flow Rate (LPM) to Energy Used (kWh)

Calculate energy consumption from hot water flow rate, temperature rise, and usage duration.

Energy Used
2.44
Kilowatt-Hours (kWh)

Formula

kWh = ((F / 60) × T × 4.186) × (D / 60)

kWh = Energy used (kilowatt-hours)
F = Flow rate (litres per minute)
T = Temperature rise (°C)
D = Duration of water usage (minutes)
4.186 = Specific heat capacity of water (kJ/kg·K)

Important: This calculator provides theoretical energy calculations for hot water usage. Actual energy consumption may vary based on system efficiency and heat losses.
