ABSTRACT

The objective of the paper is to define the physical-mathematical conditions
supporting the proper determination of the critical and minimally effective diameter
of insulation, because of its important role in refrigeration, air conditioning
and heat pumps systems. A simple case of heat exchange under steady state conditions
for cylindrical pipes with single – layer insulation was analyzed, where thermal
conductivity of the pipe material (k1) and insulation (k2)
as well as heat transfer coefficients at the pipe interior surface and the insulation
exterior surface are the constant values. There has been presented a simple method
to determine the optimal insulation diameters that guarantee an increase or decrease
of losses due to overall heat transfer per unit length of the pipe.

Key words: heat transfer, thermal insulation, break-even radius.
