MoreThermal Insulation – to pipework, ductwork, vessels, tanks, valves & flanges
The purpose of Thermal insulation is to reduce the loss of energy which in turn saves money and reduces our carbon footprint, also it prevents condensation forming on ductwork and on cold and chilled pipework which reduces the risk of pipes freezing.
Products used: Mineral wool, glass fibre, armaflex rubber, phenolic foam,
Suppliers: Armafle, Isover, Kingspan, Kooltherm and Rockwool.
Acoustic Insulation – to ductwork and pipework
Acoustic Insulation is used for sound proofing and sound absorption solutions, for example in schools and hospitals. It also helps insulate a building, which results in the reduction of energy loss and costs.
Products used: Muftilag & Tap-Wrap
Fire Protection – for ductwork and general
Fire protection thermal insulation slows down the spread of fire throughout a building, it also helps to insulate a building, which results in the reduction of energy loss and costs.
Products used: Promat, Rockwool & Firebatt
Trace heating – for temperature maintenance and frost protection
The main function of electrical trace heating is to maintain a constant temperature for pipes and vessels or to protect them against freezing. Thermal insulation will reduce heat loss however trace heating is essential to maintain a desired temperature.
The trace heating cable system is run along the length of the pipe/vessel and then covered with thermal insulation to retain heat loss. Heat is generated by the trace heating element which along with the thermal insulation will maintain the required temperature of the pipe/vessel.
Trace heating may also be used to protect pipes from freezing or to maintain process temperature for pipes that transport substances that solidify at ambient temperatures, such as fats and soaps.
Products used: Raychem’s HWAT-plus system and Wintergard system and Delta T’s equivalent systems
Protective finishes – to pipework, ductwork, vessels, tanks, valves and Flanges
Protective finishes are designed to cover thermal and acoustic insulation fitted to both internal and external pipework and ductwork. The type of protective finish applied depends on whether the pipework or ductwork is internal or external and whether the desired result is to weatherproof, to provide an easy to clean finish or for an aesthetic finish.
Products used: Isogenopak, Polyisobutylene, Sheet metal (aluzinc & stucco embossed), VentureClad (black & silver).
Insulation covers – for valves, flanges & other equipment
Often valves and flanges and other equipment are left un-insulated due to their elaborate shapes, the answer is to fit glass cloth insulation covers. The covers are secured in place using drawstring and velcro and are easily removed and replaced for maintenance purposes. Covers are water resistant and withstand a wide range of chemicals and are available for internal and external use.
Products used: The standard covers are constructed from 80 gsm of siliconised or aluminised glass cloth with an infil of 50 mm icerock ductwrap.
Covers for internal use are available in a siliconised (dull grey) or an aluminised (shiny silver) finish, and covers for external (outside) use having a black finish.
