found the location of the losses tab in the water loop and see how the UA can be
changed so that should solve the pipe insulation savings dilemma. I can’t
fully agree with you regarding the need to insulate steam piping. Although
the pipe does heat the zone it is in the process of condensation in the piping
degrades the quality of the steam reaching the distributors, radiators in this
case. This is a church and the piping to be insulated is basically 400’ of
4”, 120’ of 2” and 100’ of 1”. The function of the piping is to deliver
good quality steam to the radiators and without insulation on long runs, even if
they are in a heated zone takes away steam quality from the zone above and the
radiators in the zone where the pipe is located.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

means that you have a zone that’s not getting heating or cooling when it wants
it. 34.1% probably means there’s an issue with your system topology or
your system really has unmet load hours in real life. If you have one
thermostat and lots of rooms with different internal loads and exposures you’re
guaranteed to get a lot of unmet load hours. The plant having zero unmet
load hours means the plant is satisfying all the requests its getting from
equipment that serves zones. So the zones aren’t getting what they want
from AHUs, radiators, etc. but the plant is doing everything AHUs, radiators
etc. want it to.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

piping downstream of a steam control valve in a two-pipe system in the same
space served by the radiator doesn’t need insulation because it’s acting as a
radiator. In a one-pipe system,0 if you have TRVs on the air vents, any
pipe that only serves one radiator and is in the same space as that radiator
need not be insulated since it serves as a radiator. If you don’t have
TRVs on your air vents in a one pipe system (or in place of the control valves
on two-pipe for that matter) the insulation probably doesn’t matter that much
since all the radiators deliver heat (and too much of it at that) at the same
time as all the uninsulated pipe. For the remaining pipe you’d estimate
the surface area of the piping to be insulated and multiply the U factor of the
insulation by the surface area of the pipe. Put that into the hot water
loop you’re using as an analog for your steam system in detailed
mode. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
