Questions regarding the maintenance of oil tanks

Question: If a storage tank needs to maintain a certain temperature (not meaning being heated to XX degrees over a certain period of time), for example, at 70 degrees, how should the area of the heating coil be calculated? What are the differences between using hot water, 0.3 MPa steam, and 1.0 MPa steam as heat source media? Please ask an expert in storage and transportation to explain in detail.
Reply to 1# onlyyatou: The calculation method is the same; without heating, there is simply no heat required to raise the temperature. Calculation principle: The heat lost by the storage tank is equal to the heat supplied by the heating medium. The use of hot water or steam at different pressures only affects the size of the heating area (as the heat transfer coefficient varies) and the flow rate of the heating medium (since the amount of heat provided by each unit volume of the heating medium differs).
