Hot insulation work involves the application of thermal insulation materials on pipelines, equipment, tanks, and vessels that operate at elevated temperatures. The primary purpose is to reduce heat loss, maintain process temperature, enhance energy efficiency, and protect personnel from hot surfaces. The process includes surface preparation, installation of insulation material (such as mineral wool or calcium silicate), securing with binding materials, and application of protective cladding to ensure durability and weather resistance. Proper installation helps in achieving thermal performance, reducing operational costs, and ensuring workplace safety.
THE MULTIPLE ROLES OF INSULATION
✓ Conserve energy by reducing heat loss or gain.
✓ Control surface temperatures for personnel protection and comfort.
✓ Facilitate temperature control of process.
✓ Prevent vapour flow and water condensation on cold surfaces.
✓Increase operating efficiency of heating/ventilating/cooling, plumbing, steam, process and power systems found in commercial and industrial installations.
✓ Prevent or reduce damage to equipment from exposure to fire or corrosive atmospheres.
