2. Optimum insulation thickness

The optimum economic thickness is that which ensures minimum installation costs.

The overall cost, a function of the insulation thickness e, is equal to :

C (e) = C 1 (e) + C 2 (e) ( 2 )

with :

C (F/m)
 : 
overall cost for one meter of piping
C 1 (F/m)
 : 
the cost of heat loss
C ...
