Insulation of water system in acetylene workshop
Thread Content
I need help. I’ve just arrived at an acetylene production workshop, where insulation has not yet been installed. The weather has turned cold, and to prevent freezing, it’s urgent to insulate the water system. I have no prior experience in acetylene production; could you please advise me on whether the following solutions are feasible: centrifugal glass wool + galvanized iron wire + aluminum foil reinforced plastic. Thank you!
It seems that this issue has nothing to do with how cold weather in the north affects water’s heat retention or with acetylene fibers. Your description might exclude those who are familiar with this topic and attract people from another field by mistake
Is glass wool no longer allowed to be used now because it doesn’t meet environmental standards?
I don’t have much knowledge regarding the physical and chemical properties of acetylene; I only know that it reacts with metals such as copper, silver, and mercury. There aren’t many issues with choosing insulation materials. For the wiring, I plan to use galvanized iron wire, and for the outer protective layer, I consider using galvanized iron sheeting or stainless steel wire along with a stainless steel outer coating. The people in the factory who are responsible for production also don’t know much about this, so I’d like to ask for advice from experts here – are there any successful experiences in terms of insulation that I could learn from?
