THICKNESS RECOMMENDATION TO CONTROL CONDENSATION & REDUCE HEAT LOSS
A computer software, available upon request, designed to calculate thickness of the insulation material. To use this software, for cold line insulation, need to obtain the ambient weather conditions & line size as programe inputs. Recommended thickness is the miniumum value to prevent line condensation. On chiller insulation, need to have the actual outer diameter of pipe, & not the nominal pipe size. On hot water pipe, material thickness keys in as program input to calculate heat loss, in watt/m2.
