How to isolate the valves and the couplings?

Why do knees and valves require individual insulation?

Simple sections of pipelines can usually be insulated using standard seals. However, for valves and fittings, it is necessary to take into account their shape, installation method, and elements that protrude beyond the outline of the installation.

Incorrectly performed insulation can cause:

• the formation of cracks and thermal bridges,
• increased energy losses,
• high temperature of the installation surface,
• the risk of burns for employees,
• difficulties during technical inspections,
• the necessity of destroying the insulation during any repair.

Therefore, the cover should be designed individually for a specific valve or fitting, and not simply approximated to its shape.

Effective thermal insulation – POROFIX SHELF it allows to reduce these problems and improve the performance of the entire installation.

Aerogel as a material for valve and footplate insulation

Aerogel is a modern thermal insulation material with a very low thermal conductivity coefficient. It is most commonly used in industrial enclosures in the form of a flexible mat that can be adapted to curved and irregular surfaces.

The most important properties of an aerosol include:

• high insulation efficiency,
• small thickness of the layer,
• flexibility and easy adjustment,
• low weight,
• resistance to moisture,
• stability of the parameters during operation.

The removable design allows the protective cover to be removed before starting servicing work. After the inspection or repair is completed, the same cover can be reinstalled without the need for new insulation.

Aerogel is suitable for both high-temperature installations and systems requiring protection against loss of cooling.

Benefits of using aerogel covers

Properly performed valve and flange insulation can bring several significant benefits:

• significant reduction of heat energy losses,
• reducing the temperature of the installation surface,
• improvement of the safety of employees,
• limiting the heating of technological rooms,
• easier management of service work,
• the possibility of multiple use of the same shield,
• an aesthetic and orderly finish of the installation.

The greatest effectiveness is achieved when the enclosure is designed based on precise measurements and adapted to the actual operating conditions of the installation.
