Insulation
- Reduction of heat loss and energy saving on heat systems.
- Elimination of condensation & heat ingress on cooling systems
- Personal protection from hot surfaces
- Acoustic insulation for noise control.
- Ultimately the greatest purpose is the saving of electricity, diesel or coal costs and the increase in operating efficiency of the plant.
Insulation is vastly important for pipes, vessels, air
conditioning systems that carry heated or cooled materials
or air.
If these remain un-insulated it increases the energy input
required and decreases the efficiency, therefore impacting
greatly on plant expenses and the environment.
Unlike the equipment it is protecting it does not require
checks, adjustments or calibration, unless it is damaged.
Insulation is a one off cost that creates savings from day
one.
In this age of ever increasing oil & electricity prices
insulation is one of the simplest tools available to reduce
the operating costs of hot product, steam, hot water &
refrigeration systems.
Old damaged insulation on hot systems or on refrigeration
systems that is freezing or condensating is no longer efficient & should be replaced. |
