Heat losses through uninsulated plant
Good practice dictates that steam operating plant should be insulated as much as possible to reduce thermal radiation energy losses. All competent plant managers need to determine the optimum point at which insulation costs are balanced against thermal radiation losses. Decisions regarding insulation thickness are further complicated by the wide range of insulation materials available. The most common forms of insulation are designed for static pipework with simple geometry. Where, for example, an installation includes complex geometry and valves and steam traps it becomes more difficult to choose a suitable insulation material. In such instances, the ISOjag removable insulation jacket could provide the answer as it primarily uses the air encapsulated inside the jacket as the insulating medium. This offers excellent thermal performance for a minimum of insulation thickness.
