Abstract
A method is presented whereby, for any set of prescribed conditions, an optimal thickness of a thermally insulating internal lining may be determined for pipes to be used for the conveyance of chilled water. The optimum investigated in this paper corresponds with the minimum total rate off energy dissipation costs as a result of refrigeration and pumping. The overall optimal design cannot be decided at this juncture without a knowledge of such unknowns as the capital cost of internally lining the pipe.
