Modern thermal protection of pipelines

Not a secret that modern systems of heating are far from an ideal. Their main lack is that heat carrier (as a rule, it it is water) loses an order of 25-30 % of heat for that time which is spent for its transportation from a source (boiler-house) to the consumer. And who is compelled to pay for these losses? Quite right – the consumer. Therefore last years more and more attention it is given to questions of savings of heat in pipelines with the help insulation materials.

Naturally, the material which would possess ideal insulation properties, does not exist. But is such which give the chance to lower essentially heat. It is necessary to remember also that for different types of pipelines it is necessary to select a thermal protection individually.

At the time of the USSR the core and almost a unique heat insulator for pipes was glass wool. Now the choice is huge. What thermal protection kinds exist in the modern market? It both special floor-mats, and segments, both semicylinders, and cylinders, and rolled materials, and even a paint. Are available on sale and already ready pipes which have been "wrapped up" in teplosohranyayuschuyu a cover. Application of such ready decisions expediently at installation of the new pipeline.

The separate attention is deserved by the made foam synthetic rubber k-flex which is put on the market in the form of tubes, rolls, corners of various diameter and the size. The given material is unique that its application is possible in ranges of temperatures from-200 With to +150 With. Such properties allow to use K-FLEX and in the industry.

The basic advantages of the made foam rubber consist in its flexibility, elasticity, ease of installation and durability.

Use insulation materials at installation and reconstruction of pipelines gives the chance to save essentially on losses of heat and to provide a sufficient temperature mode in pipes. It is not necessary to forget and that selection of materials and realisation insulation works is better for entrusting experts.
