2. Optimum insulation thickness
The optimum economic thickness is that which ensures minimum installation costs.
The overall cost, a function of the insulation thickness e, is equal to :
with :
- C (F/m) :
- overall cost for one meter of piping
- C1 (F/m) :
- the cost of heat loss
- C2 (F/m) :
- the cost of insulation.
As e increases the C1 function decreases while C2 increases. There is a thickness e0 for which the overall cost C is minimal. The optimal economic thickness e0...
