Engineering Features

Heat Loss Engine

Multi-surface heat loss: shell, roof, bottom, wind effects, solar gain, mixer input, and recirculation lines.

API-650 Tank Presets

Pre-configured standard tank sizes per API-650. Custom tank geometry with full dimensional input.

Insulation Design

Material selection, thickness optimization, sheeting spec, and 6-tier insulation degradation assessment (ISO 10456, VDI 2055).

Heater Sizing

Hot oil, steam, and hot water heating systems. Internal coil design with fin enhancement calculations.

Weather Integration

Location-based weather data via Open-Meteo API. Seasonal and quarterly design conditions.

PDF Report Generation

A design calculation package that documents every input, result and method.

System Piping

Supply and return line heat loss. Pressure drop calculations (Darcy-Weisbach). Pump sizing considerations.

External Heat Exchangers

Heat exchanger database and sizing. External tracing systems. Multi-source demand allocation.

5-Step Design Wizard

1

Tank Configuration

Select API-650 preset or define custom geometry. Set shell, roof, and bottom construction.

2

Product & Insulation

Choose from 48+ pre-loaded products with thermo-fluid properties. Specify insulation material, thickness, and condition.

3

Mixing & Recirculation

Configure mixers, recirculation lines, and any internal heating elements.

4

Heating Method

Select heating medium (hot oil, steam, hot water). Configure coil layout, exchangers, or tracing.

5

Location & Weather
