Tank Heat Loss (Incl. Tank Heating)

This document summarizes the heat loss calculation for an insulated storage tank. The tank is 3.75 meters in diameter, has 6.7 meters of liquid height, and 100 mm thick insulation. At an outside temperature of -10 degrees C and internal liquid temperature of 122 degrees C, the total heat loss is calculated to be 8 kW. A heating coil with a diameter of 60 mm and total surface area of 24.1 m2 would be required to maintain the internal liquid temperature above 122 degrees C over a 120 hour heating period.
