Do You Know All of Insulation's Benefits?（二）

  A properly designed and installed insulation system offers immediate and long-term benefits. Insulation protects your personnel, your equipment, your system, and your budget.

 

 

 

 

Personnel Protection

  A well-designed and insulated system will protect personnel by:

l  Lowering hot surface temperatures；

l  Preventing accidental burns.

  Thermal insulation is one of the most effective means of protecting workers from burns resulting from contact with hot or extremely cold piping and equipment. For hot surfaces especially, insulation reduces the surface temperature of piping or equipment to a safer level, resulting in increased worker safety and the avoidance of worker downtime due to injury. With today's specification tools, it's very easy to calculate the insulation thickness needed to bring the surface temperature of your piping and equipment to safe levels.

 

Improved Appearance

  Insulation covering exposed air conditioning and plumbing lines gives a finished appearance to a building.

 

Increase Space Efficiency with Insulation

  A well-insulated system will:

l  Reduce capacity and size of new mechanical equipment;

l  Reduce capital cost of equipment;

l  Reduce space required for equipment; and

l  Reduce maximum electrical loads, meaning reduced electrical rates for industrial and commercial users.

 

Impressive Return on Investment: Insulation Is a Quick Payback

l  Reduced energy cost means improved ROI.

l  Addition of insulation can be the most cost-effective means of reducing O&M costs for an industrial facility or a commercial building.

  Insulation is one of the few technologies where the payback for the investment is considered more than acceptable when compared to many other equipment or maintenance purchases. If the insulated system is maintained, the savings from the investment continue for the life of the facility. In fact, it costs more to not insulate properly. Often insulation is paid for by the maintenance budget and then it reduces the operations budget for the life of the system.The return on investment or payback for an investment in insulation is quick, often from 6 months to 2 years.

 

Process Control with Insulation

  A properly specified and installed insulation system on bare process lines and equipment can increase the efficiency of a process system by as much as 95% or more.

Use insulation to:

l  Maintain process temperatures;

l  Improve product QC;

l  Improve operating safety.
