Context� Data evaluation: Analysis of temperature data over time for thermal loads
(alternatively p, m_dot, …)� Preprocessing data for (cycle & stress based) fatigue analysis (ageing management)
Features� Counting thermal occurrences in combination with a sophisticated data interpretation
and data tracking, e.g. time history and other characteristic parameters• superposing mechanical & thermal loads at same time, not the respective maxima
� Automatic (numerical) examination • very large amounts of data (e.g. all past operational loads) in a very short time• reproducible results
� Detection of enveloping loads in case of a fleet� Efficient reduction of data volume by grouping into model/reference transients� Adjustable user-defined model transients and level of detail� More realistic load specifications because of more detailed examination � Stand-alone tool or in combination with AFC and/or calculations � versatile tool

Customer Problem, Objective or Need
� Problem: Determination of thermal loads in pipes or components at • locations not equipped with measurement devices • locations inaccessible for measurements, such as component internals
� Even though customer retrofitted an advanced monitoring system (e.g. FAMOSi), the years before the adaption remain unknown
� Only very expensive systems feature such sophisticated analysis tools (Transfer Functions applicable to all systems / locations)
� Standard method in the 1980s: Definition of conservative thermal transients, � largely overestimated thermal loads
� Components have been designed for 40 years lifetime – extension to 60 years requires hardware replacement / redesign or re-calculation of more realistic thermal loads
All rights are reserved, see liability notice.
Transfer Functions Consider System Influence
Using thermal inertia: No simple mirroring of penalizing (step) function at “A” to location “B”
Calculated response at “B” with smaller (physical) amplitudes and gradients

Transfer FunctionsConclusion
Time and cost factor geometric model: Simple and timesaving modeling of the complete systems (pipe sections, elbows and components) due to a sophisticated pre-processing tool (direct network implementation of a CFD model possible)
Direct coupling Transfer Functions with Contare as pre- or post-processing tool to categorize the transients (important in case of long term calculations � data reduction)
Simple version of the tool already available and tested in the scope of an existing facility
Sophisticated thermal hydraulic transfer function
� basis to derive functional transfer function (coupling with FAMOSi – low CPU performance)
� Simulation of complex systems (e.g. combination of piping and HX or other components)
Combination of Contare and transfer function is able to reduce the usage factor considerably (e.g. one order of magnitude)
More realistic fatigue usage by providing more realistic loads specifications, e.g. to prevent premature component exchange
