Every marked item opens its own page, with its own before and after. Each has its own calculator: size, service temperature, running hours, your fuel price. Drag the divider to see the whole skid in either state.
Modelled skid: 40 items, 24.5 m² of hot surface, 60 °C flow, 8,000 operating hours/year — 12.4 kW bare, 714 W covered. The blue buffer tank is not insulated and carries no figure.

Asked about the explorer
Questions.
Answers distinguish modelled heat-loss estimates from equipment selection and service guidance.
What does the hot-water explorer show?
One modelled skid, bare and insulated, with every item on it marked. The skid is 40 items over 24.5 m² of hot surface at 60 °C. Press any marker to open that item with its own figures and its own calculator.
Why does the calculator here work on one item at a time?
Because the whole skid cannot be solved as one body. Convection depends on shape and characteristic length. Five families summed at their own geometry do not equal one lumped body of the same total area. The skid figure is the sum of the five solved separately.
How much does the whole skid lose?
12.4 kW bare and 714 W with 50 mm of removable insulation, at the modelled defaults. The blue buffer tank is not insulated and carries no figure.
Can I change the numbers?
Yes. Every item page takes your own area, quantity, service temperature, running hours, fuel price and currency, and recomputes with this scenario model. Entered data are not independently verified by the tool.

How the figure is produced.
Steady-state estimate using convection, radiation and an insulation energy balance. Equivalence to a surveyed equipment model has not been established.
- Shape
- Vertical plate, characteristic length 0.900 m
- Convection
- Churchill–Chu on air properties at film temperature
- Radiation
- Stefan–Boltzmann at emissivity 0.85
- Bare-case allowance
- ×1.12, assumed class multiplier; not an inventory of actual thermal bridges
- Insulated case
- Outer-surface energy balance, without temperature clamping. 45 °C is a design target; plus an assumed 5% heat-loss allowance for seams. The exterior uses a 0.3 m vertical-plate approximation; conductivity is constant.
