Oct. 22, 2012: NAIMA Launches New Version of 3E Plus Insulation Thickness Software
3E Plus is designed to quickly and accurately determine where additional insulation can improve the efficiency of pipes, boilers, tanks, and ducts. By calculating the potential energy and cost savings over time, users can gauge the return on investment for insulation upgrades.
This new version of the program:
• Provides simple payback calculations starting with the thermal performance and cost of energy for both insulated and uninsulated piping and equipment.
• Allows users to customize program details such as insulation materials, jacketing, fuel types, and base metals which can now be saved and imported when updating to future builds of version 4.1.
• Allows users to export insulation audit data to an Excel spreadsheet.
• Performs calculations for most types of insulation materials and accepts performance data provided by the user for other materials.
• Provides calculations for many fuel types and five different surface orientations.
• Includes all the latest thermal curves and new insulation materials contained in the ASTM material standards.
