Fig. 1. Chart for Estimating Dollar Value op Heat Loss from Bare Pipes. (See Tables 1. 2, 3 and 4)a
This chart is based on 100 linear feet per 1000 hours. For fractions or multiples of these actors, multiply by proper percentage.
lose, at 100 lb steam pressure, an amount of heat equivalent to more than a ton of coal per year shows the necessity for insulating such surfaces.
Example 1. Compute the total annual heat loss from 165 ft of 2 in. bare pipe in service 4000 hours per year. The pipe iscarrying steam at 10 lb pressure and is exposed to an average air temperature of 70 F.
Solution. The pipe temperature is taken as the steam temperature, which is 239.4 F, obtained by interpolation from Table 8 Chapter 1. The temperature difference between the pipe and air = 239.4 -- 70 = 169.4 F. By interpolation of Table 1 between tem perature differences of 157.1 and 227.7 F, the heat loss from a 2 in. pipe at a temperature difference of 169.4 F is found to be 1.624 Btu per hour per linear foot per degree tem perature difference. The total annual heat loss from the entire line = 1.624 X 169.4 X 165 (linear feet) X 4000 (hours) = 181,600 M6.

CHAPTER 43. PIPE AND DUCT HEAT LOSSES
Example S. Coal costing 811.50 per ton and having a calorific value of 13,000 Btu per pound is being burned in the furnace supplying steam to the pipe line given in the previous example. If the system is operating at an overall efficiency of 55 per cent, determine the monetary value of the annual heat loss from the line.
Solution. The cost of heat per 1000 Mb supplied to the system = 1,000,000 X 11.5
