Annual Heat Loss Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Annual Heat Loss.
AHL = ELR / dT * 24 * 365
Variables:
- AHR is the Annual Heat Loss (BTU/F)
- ELR is the energy loss rate (BTU/hr)
- dT is the design temperature difference (F)
How to Calculate Annual Heat Loss?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Annual Heat Loss.
- First, determine the energy loss rate (BTU/hr).
- Next, determine the design temperature difference (F).
- Next, gather the formula from above = AHL = ELR / dT * 24 * 365.
- Finally, calculate the Annual Heat Loss.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
energy loss rate (BTU/hr) = 50
design temperature difference (F) = 15
AHL = ELR / dT * 24 * 365 = ?
