Trace heating design

The calculation of heat losses is done with the following formula:

Q_v= (2 * Pi * lambda * (T_h - T_min)) / (ln * (D/d))

1. Design Data
Attention: Not all wrong entries will be corrected automatically

The default value are validated for calculations within Europe and usable upto a wind speed of 5m/s (18km/h; Beaufaut No.3).The thermal conductivity of 0,052W/mK is based on mineralwool, change this value if you want to use other insulation material, please (e.g.: PU-foam 0,028W/mK)
Please take care that you use the point instead of a comma otherweise you will see NaN as a result
A hint for a suitable insualtion thickness is: Thickness of insualtin approx. as thick as the pipe diameter.(e.g.: DN 50-> 50mm insulation thickness
Please take care to the temperature dependence of insulationmaterial (especially for hight temperatures)

- length of pipe(m)
- add.length(valves,support, etc..)
- Minimum ambient temperature (°C)
- Maintain temperature (°C)
- thermal condcutivity (W/mK)
- Safety factor (%)
- pipe diameter(DN)
- Insulation thickness(mm)
- Maximum pipe temperature.(°C)
- Temperatureclass

The max. lenbgth of heatingcircuit are based on 16A, C-charakteristic. Longer circuits on request.
