Insulation Requirements Do the circulating water pipelines in the gas separation unit area need to be insulated? Thanks! !

Generally, there is no need to insulate, just paint!

Must be kept warm! Water pipelines that operate in winter must be insulated. If a fault occurs and the circulating water stops circulating, it will quickly freeze.~

There is no need for thermal insulation, and there must be a low point for venting. When the circulating water is shut down in winter, the water in the clean pipe must be drained.

Maybe it's a matter of philosophy. Sometimes our designs here don't have insulation, but the operations department requires them to be insulated. What if they forget to drain the water?: ) When we are doing construction work, we often forget to drain the water.~

Circulating water pipes generally do not need to be insulated.

This depends on the local climate. When the temperature is low in winter, insulation must be used. Once the water in the pipes freezes, the risk will be great.

I think this depends on the local minimum temperature. I think it is not necessary to insulate in some places in the south, but if you are in Inner Mongolia and in the northeast, you must insulate, otherwise the pipes are very likely to freeze in winter.
