Products:


Active member of the National

Insulation Association

Saw a need for innovation

Looked for a new approach to

insulation pads and covers

Why Steam Distribution Systems?


Temperatures typically below 500F

Lots of piping system components Areas with high incidences of

unintended heat loss, or gain

Generally not optimally designed for

low temperature steam dist. systems

Custom-made covers are expensive

Covers are designed for higher-temp

industrial steam systems

Many times they do not get replaced

Too cumbersome 7

New Concept

Use modularized insulation kits

Insulate ALL of these difficult,

convoluted surfaces, leaving no

surfaces bare (except valve handles)

Types of components:

Valves Valve bonnets & stems

Flanges

Pressure regulators

Strainers9

Steam & Hot

Water

Distribution

Systems

All-in-One Modularized Insulation Kits

Removable/reusable insulation blanket 4x8 blanket can typically insulate up to

five 3 components

Material is easily cut with utility knife

Attachment and installation requires

minimum tools 10

What are

modularized

insulation kits?


11/28


Basic Concept

Standardized materials are brought to

the job site (insulation sheets androlls of hook and loop fastener)

Modules provide a basis for cutting

insulation sheets into required smaller

size sheets or pieces

Minimum tools (only tape

measure, scissors, utility knife,

and pliers stapler)

11

Basic concepts

of modularized

insulation kits

Fast

On-site

fabrication!


12/28


Basic Concept

Stapler with hook and loop fasteners

allow for flexibility of attachments On-site measuring, cutting &

fabrication by the installers

Surfaces of any shapes can be

insulated

insulation kits


13/28


Basic Concept

Finished blankets can later be

removed & reinstalled without use oftools

Damaged or missing materials can be

replaced by facility personnel

Requirements

Continuous exposure to 500F

Coated fabric on both sides that iswater and oil repellent

Meets Flame Spread/Smoke Developed

Index of 25/50 per ASTM E-84

14

Must meet

temperature and

performance

requirements


15/28


Why these are effective

The first layer of insulation reduces heat loss

by at least 85%

Valves, pressure regulators, PRVs, strainers, etc.

have very large surface areas (more than they

appear)

Covering these surfaces with only one layer of

insulation

Can significantly reduce heat load in room

Reduce space air temperature

Remove hot surfaces that pose burn

potential
