Industrial insulation is vital in many manufacturing applications such as continuous processing.
Industrial insulation is vital in many manufacturing applications such as continuous processing. Industrial insulation systems can provide several functions on piping and equipment in industrial facilities. The reasons for insulating can be:
To provide the desired functions while being exposed to these environments over a long time period, the insulation materials should be carefully selected and the installation details specified to assure that the design goals are met. In industrial facilities, this can be challenging. The reasons for insulating pipes and equipment can vary from system to system and from facility to facility.
A wide range of textile materials is used as thermal insulators in a variety of industrial applications. The thermal insulating properties of textile fabrics depend on their thermal thickness, conductivity, density, and thermal emission characteristics. Many development applications for the new materials such as textile fabrics used as thermal insulators require a full study of their thermal insulating properties at different operating conditions. One of the most important of these studies is the effect of temperature with thermal conductivity and material density on the response of the textile fabrics as insulators.
Industrial textile insulation reduces the rate of thermal transfer between two temperatures, typically to moderate temperature fluctuations.
Textile insulation allows machines to be cool to the touch and provides protection from heat-related injuries.
Staff also benefit from a reduction in working temperatures throughout the facility, as industrial textile insulating keeps the heat inside of the manufacturing machines.
There are various things that need to be considered before deciding which insulation material is best suited for a particular application, such as:
Common types of thermal insulation materials include:
