Certain values ofthe thermal c<strong>on</strong>ductivity of the polyurethane arechosen, λ 50 <strong>and</strong> λ‟. The actual λ(T) are obtained byminimizing the difference between the measured <strong>and</strong>calculated coil temperatures, (4).The difference between the calculated <strong>and</strong> measuredtemperatures for the optimal parameter values of λ 50 , λ‟<strong>and</strong> c are showed in Figure 9. The saw toothdisturbance from the measurements is seen. Thedifference giving the best fit lies in the interval -0.20 to0.25 (ºC). The error is small.The heat capacity c (J·kg -1·K -1 ) of the polyurethanefoam is input to the calculati<strong>on</strong>s. Literature referencesfor the heat capacity of polyurethane foam varies, 1300J·kg -1·K -1 at 50ºC in [9], 1400 J·kg -1·K -1 in [10], 1400-1500 J·kg -1·K -1 for rigid polyurethane foam in [11].The densities <strong>and</strong> heat capacities of water, service pipe<strong>and</strong> insulati<strong>on</strong> were assumed to be c<strong>on</strong>stant in thetemperature interval studied.The optimal parameter values of λ 50 λ‟ <strong>and</strong> c wereobtained by minimizing the difference D (ºC) betweenthe calculated T w (ºC) <strong>and</strong> measured coil temperaturesT w,meas (ºC).D max T ( t) T ( t)for t t t (4)w, calc w, meas1 2A certain time interval, 0.5
