Regarding thermal insulation issues

2007-12-31View Original

Thread Content

I would like to ask if the surface temperature of your equipment pipes is greater than 80 degrees, do they need to be insulated?

Not necessarily. If the medium itself requires cooling, natural cooling is better. In addition, anti-scalding should be considered. If it is in an easily accessible place, anti-scalding insulation should be carried out.

Indeed, most of them need to be insulated, and it also depends on the process requirements, as mentioned on the second floor

uncertain! Mainly considered from the perspective of safety and production ; 1. If cooling is needed for production, insulation is not required. ; 2. Places that are out of reach of personnel and consistent with Article 1 ; 3. Places in contact with personnel need to be insulated regardless of process requirements.

It may not be necessary in terms of craftsmanship, but it is recommended that insulation is better! Prevent others from getting burned

It is necessary to prevent scalding at 60 degrees, and even more so at 80 degrees
Reply #72007-12-31
In fact, we need to analyze the specific situation, distance, process requirements, etc.

Unless it has a cooling effect, it must be kept warm!

Indeed, whether it is insulated or not depends on the process requirements, but it is estimated that heat preservation is generally required. At least it's anti-scalding.

It depends on the technical requirements of the project. Generally, if the temperature is above 60 degrees to prevent burns, insulation must be added.

There are requirements for thermal insulation, IP/IE classification.

agree. If the 80-degree pipe is located in a place where the human body can easily come into contact, it should be insulated. Of course, if the location is in a place where people are unlikely to come into contact, insulation is not necessarily required. It depends on other process requirements.

Areas that come into contact with people need to be protected from scalding

The process requires thermal insulation. Fluctuations in temperature affect process operations and require thermal insulation. Safety requires thermal insulation. Places where people come into contact with temperatures above 60°C need to be anti-scalding and thermally insulated. Energy conservation requires thermal insulation, and if heat loss is required, thermal insulation is required.

Treat different situations differently. Above 60℃, anti-scalding and heat preservation are required
Reply #162008-01-02
Heat preservation is required when the process requires heat preservation. When the process does not require heat preservation, parts that are accessible to people must be protected from scalding.

I agree with what the second floor said. Insulation is required for the following processes to raise the temperature, or to remove heat exchange and other processes. The temperature of 80 degrees, etc. is not a constant standard that requires thermal insulation. For places where workers operate, if there are pipelines passing through them, in order to prevent workers from being affected by heat for a long time and causing personal injuries such as heatstroke, the pipelines need to be insulated.

For equipment or pipelines above 60C, protection (such as personal protection, heat insulation) is required. If heat dissipation is required, safety guardrails can be installed.
