Economic calculation method for pipe insulation thickness
Thread Content
In insulation calculations, aren’t parameters such as local wind speed, humidity, and annual average temperature taken into account when using the economic thickness method to determine the insulation thickness of pipes? Which methods can be used? I would appreciate some guidance from experts, thank you!
You can take a look at the local experience level mentioned in the manual
Wind speed is related to the heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface and the air, while the annual average temperature is represented in the formula as (Ta); humidity is relevant to the calculations for preventing condensation. Take a close look at Section 5.8 of GB 50264-2013
Okay, thank you, expert. My situation is mainly indoors, so it probably has little to do with wind speed. May I also ask if you know how to determine the values for the heat price and the unit cost of insulation structures? Where can I find it? Please advise, thank you!
