BENEFITS OF REMOVABLE/REUSABLE INSULATION BLANKETS
Removable insulation blankets represent the state of the art
method for insulating valve
fittings and other specialized processing equipment. Areas that
previously were impractical
to insulate can be protected efficiently. Standard or custom
designed units from reusable
insulation covers provide several important benefits.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
In most installations, heat loss is reduced by 90% or more,
meaning a fast payback for the
investment in reusable covers. The chart on the next page shows
how substantial the savings
can be.
FREEZE PROTECTION
In areas where freeze protection is required, removable covers
provide the protection needed
to prevent frozen lines, even in the most severe weather.
PERSONNEL PROTECTION
Removable covers can reduce the surface temperature of equipment
to levels that are needed
for a safe working environment.
LABOR SAVINGS
Generally, removable covers can be installed or removed by one
person in minutes. This is a
fraction of the time required for installing or stripping away
other forms of insulation.
