Calculation method
Calculation method
Loop heat loss (W)
Sum segment length × supplied linear heat loss; integrate over operating hours.
Daily heat loss (kWh)
Sum segment length × supplied linear heat loss; integrate over operating hours.
Symbols and units
- a
- Loop segment lengths (m)
- b
- Measured or specified linear heat loss (W/m)
- c
- Operating time (hours/day)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Sum segment length × supplied linear heat loss; integrate over operating hours. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
