Problems with insulation design
Thread Content
Image 1 shows the air-cooled inlet pipeline, which is also insulated. Image 2 shows the reflux cooler used in the distillation tower, which is likewise insulated. Fellow sailors, please discuss whether insulation is necessary in these cases And they’re all in the conduit, out of reach for people.
1. Regarding the air cooler, is it because the medium tends to condense too easily? 2. Tower-shaped, probably to prevent scalding.
It’s indeed a bit of a waste to use air cooling; could you upload a few more photos of the methanol pipeline corridor? I want to learn * a bit.
1. If air cooling doesn’t result in freezing in winter, it’s not necessary to add insulation. In our company, the compressed air pipelines used to freeze at the orifice flow meters during winter; later, heating and insulation were added； 2. As mentioned on the 2nd floor, it is to prevent people from getting burned.
It’s now called thermal insulation engineering, and the purpose of this work isn’t solely for insulation; it also serves to prevent scalding and to protect the substrate from external corrosion, among other things~
Some don’t require insulation at all, but it is used for safety purposes (to prevent burns).
Insulation is used for safety (to prevent burns), so the thickness of the insulation layer can be reduced appropriately.
