TUBE TRACING HEAT TRANSFER
TUBE TRACING HEAT TRANSFER
(OP)
We have hot water at approx 240 deg F that is available for freeze protection. Pressure delta is approx 140 ft of head from supply to return. We also have 2" fiberglass insulation and aluminum metal cover. Minimum fluid temperature is 40 deg F.
I am trying to find a program or table etc that shows the expected heat transfer from 1/2" and 3/8" copper tube tracing that is attached "bare" (without compound) to various sizes of steel piping. I can find data for steam but nothing for water. Possibly there is data for the heat transfer coeff for the tubing to pipe bare connection?

You can get good pointers from Chromolax and other tracer manufacturers.
