Certain assumptions have been made to compile this data: 1. Still air conditions. 2. All heat loss is by radiation. 3. Surface metal temperature is equal to operating temperature. 4. 8 760 hours operation per year.

Example 2 Example 1 provided a payback for still air conditions. If the average wind speed was 22 km/h, then the annual heat savings becomes 6 x 2.16 = 12.96 GJ/year

Hence:-

P =
