Calculate Insulation Efficiency (Eins)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Insulation Efficiency (Eins) is:

\[ Eins = \frac{dT}{q} \]

What is Insulation Efficiency?

Insulation efficiency measures how effectively an insulation material reduces heat transfer. It is calculated by dividing the temperature difference across the insulation by the heat flux through it. High insulation efficiency indicates better performance in preventing heat loss or gain.

Example

Let's say the temperature difference (dT) is 30 K, and the heat flux (q) is 5 W/m². Using the formula:

\[ Eins = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \, \text{K-m²/W} \]

So, the insulation efficiency (Eins) is 6 K-m²/W.
