Problems with insulation materials
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: What insulation material should be used for tower equipment operating at temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius?
Polyurethane doesn’t seem to work; the temperature is too high. Use centrifugal glass wool or silicate boards instead
Compound silicates will do; the bulk density is 50-60
Thank you to all the sea friends for their generous help! We’re currently using glass fiber insulation, which isn’t very effective; it needs to be replaced. :)
I would also like to ask everyone: How exactly is this silicate insulation material applied? What precautions need to be taken?
Are silicate materials disposable? Do they become unusable once they are removed? If so, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be appropriate. Also, I’m not a professional in insulation work; I just encountered this issue at work that needs to be resolved.
Using ordinary foam asbestos boards with dimensions of 1000*500*50 should work; it’s necessary to ensure good waterproofing, as these boards can still be used after they are removed.
Thank you, how about using insulation materials from the rubber-plastic sponge series?:)
The temperature is too high; is it okay to use rubber-plastic sponge as insulation material?
Silicate materials are recommended, with a thickness of 5 cm in 2 layers – constructing them with overlapping joints yields the best results; rare earth materials with a thickness of 5–8 cm can also be used. For outdoor applications, it is necessary to apply a waterproof layer first, followed by an outer protective layer
Thank you to all the enthusiastic sea friends :)
For materials such as aluminum silicate, sepiolite, and rock wool that do not require temperature resistance below 20 degrees Celsius, polyurethane, polystyrene, and similar materials with low-temperature resistance should be used instead.
It seems that organic foam materials should not be used at temperatures above 160 degrees. Polyurethane foam at 200 degrees for an extended period will undergo coking and carbonization, resulting in a decrease in its insulation properties ； Polystyrene materials soften and lose their strength above 70 degrees, rendering them unusable
Rock wool boards will do; the bulk density can be specified
