❄️ HVAC & Thermal

Heat Exchanger Calculator

Estimate heat-transfer rate using overall heat-transfer coefficient, area and log mean temperature difference.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Overall heat-transfer coefficient (W/m²·K); Heat-transfer area (m²); Log mean temperature difference (K). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The thermal or HVAC result estimates heating, cooling, airflow, heat transfer, or efficiency from the dimensions, temperatures, rates, and equipment values entered. Check design conditions, insulation, occupancy, ventilation requirements, equipment efficiency, and the units used.

When to use it

Use this for preliminary building comfort or equipment planning. Confirm actual site conditions, manufacturer data, and applicable mechanical/building codes before sizing or installing HVAC equipment.
