LOGSTOR Calculator
A free to use tool for future and current customers and advisors who are keen to calculate the most efficient way to supply hot and cold water in pre-insulated pipes.
Your own calculation of the most energy-efficient solutions in the sector
LOGSTOR Calculator is a simple, user-friendly tool that focuses on user requirements for fast and efficient access to facts and figures. This is the level of exceptional service we strive to deliver every single day. LOGSTOR Calculator is an internet-based calculation program developed to assist energy suppliers, consultant engineers, teachers and students to assess the most efficient way to transport hot and cold water in pre-insulated pipes.
LOGSTOR Calculator is the most accurate program in the sector for calculating energy loss. It is based on comprehensive mathematical and physical models designed to produce heat loss calculations that are as correct as possible.
How does it work?
1. Input your data
Begin by selecting the type of calculation you wish to perform: Energy Loss, Aging Curves, or Pressure Loss. Enter the relevant figures from your project.
2. Define your bonded pipe system
Calculating Energy Loss (example): Add a “LOGSTOR Project” and specify the pipe dimensions and entering the trench lengths (in meters) for each pipe size.
3. Choose your calculation types for energy loss
Select your result types: Heatloss, Finance, CO2 Emissions, Return on Investment, Service Life Cost, or Temperature Drop. Simply enable or disable each option.
4. Run the calculation
Click the "Calculate"-button to initiate the calculation for your project.
5. Review results and compare scenarios
The calculator delivers results based on your input and lets you add pipes or copy projects to modify parameters and compare systems or methods side by side.
Only the more complex FEM calculations feature greater precision. Depending on their needs, customers can choose between two calculation principles in LOGSTOR Calculator:
- Calculations performed in accordance with EN 13941.
- Advanced calculations using an even more accurate program.
Over and above calculating heat loss for each pipe, LOGSTOR Calculator makes it possible to compare pipes and projects with regard to energy loss in volume, costs and carbon emissions.
All calculations are illustrated with both actual values and graphs to provide a fast overview. LOGSTOR Calculator also presents graphs illustrating the ageing of polyurethane foam, based on calculations performed by the Danish Technological Institute (www.dti.dk). The insulation value is calculated as a function of temperature and age.
