Lets calculate the Log mean Temperature difference on a heat exchanger.
The calculation is this
LMTD = ((Temp Hot Inlet - Temp Outlet Cold) - (Temp Outlet Hot - Temp Inlet Cold)) / LN ((Temp Hot Inlet - Temp Outlet Cold) - (Temp Outlet Hot - Temp Inlet Cold))
#Previously when building calculations you would build them external from the system that the calculation is going to run in.
NOTE - We are going to build this calculation using the Chart macro that is accessible in the Basket by selecting Trend. The method is exactly the same for building it in a KPI
STEP 1 - ADD TAGS TO BASKET
First step is to go to the search macro or a page that contains the relevant tags.- Right clicking or drag them into the basket.
- Remember you have the option saving the basket.
- Once you have added the tags you need in this calculation. We are ready to get started.
STEP 2 - TREND THE BASKET
STEP 3 - BUILDING THE CALCULATION
Two ways of building a multiple layer calculation.
1. Creating the Calculation Skeleton using the Eigen Calculation Builder then Dragging the relevant tags from the basket into the Calculation.
2. Build the calculation in layers adding each layer into the basket.
DIV(SUB(SUB(0,0),SUB(0,0)),LN(SUB(SUB(0,0),SUB(0,0))))
