Notes:
1. Insulation thickness is chosen either to prevent or minimize condensation on outside
jacket surface or to limit heat gain to 8 Btu/hft2, whichever thickness is greater.
2. All thicknesses are in inches.
3. Values do not include safety or aging factor. Actual operating conditions may vary.
Consult a design engineer for appropriate recommendation for your specific system.
4. Data calculated using NAIMA 3E Plus program.
