Insulation layer for tower equipment
Thread Content
May I ask: What materials are generally used for the insulation layer of tower equipment?
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 made of galvanized iron or aluminum sheeting.
Aluminum silicate with a stainless steel cladding – given the complex operating conditions of outdoor towers, it is recommended to use stainless steel as the outer cladding.
What is the operating temperature? What is the typical ambient temperature? Rock wool is sufficient for temperatures up to 200°; for temperatures above 200°, it is recommended to use aluminum silicate insulation, with a thickness of at least 50 mm in 2 layers.
Use aluminum silicate rock wool. For new projects, the design company will provide explanations.
Use aluminum silicate insulation boards for high temperatures, and rock wool boards for temperatures below 250°C.
