    I need to calculate (convert) degrees Celsius to Watts. Ultimately, it needs a heater that will not exceed 200 C.
    Therefore, it would be useful to know the limit power that a system designed for this should give.

    Are you seriously asking yourself if you are kidding? I know that this is a section for beginners, but without exaggeration ... let me tell you this - with these data, the task is unsolvable. Power cannot be converted to temperature, but you can calculate, for example, by how many degrees the temperature of the water in the tank will rise under the influence of the heater for a certain time, you can also determine the limit temperature, but you need to know the parameters of the heated medium and the thermal resistance between it and the environment. These are not so simple calculations, they require taking into account many factors.

    OK, I give up :) I did not think it was such a big problem. Thanks anyway for the tips.

    It is not difficult. You just have to think. Your power will depend on, for example, the air temperature in the room, the temperature of what the heater wants to heat and their specific heat.

    and it is not better to use a standard heater but also to do something like a limiter

    Primary school physics textbooks contain this secret knowledge, if you really care about it. And if not, turn on the heater through the thermostat set to 200'C. If you give it too much, it will turn off more often. And don't count on converting bikes to buttons or watts to 'C. Physics is not a barter.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the challenge of converting degrees Celsius to Watts for a heater designed to not exceed a maximum temperature of 200°C. Participants emphasize that power cannot be directly converted to temperature; instead, calculations must consider various factors such as the specific heat of the medium being heated, the ambient air temperature, and thermal resistance. Suggestions include using a thermostat set to 200°C to regulate the heater's operation and the importance of understanding basic physics principles related to heat transfer. Some responses highlight the complexity of the calculations involved and recommend consulting primary school physics resources for foundational knowledge.
