Air duct insulation
The primary function of ductwork is to transport cool air between locations, through both conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Maintaining a constant air temperature within the ductwork is essential for system efficiency. While fiberglass insulation is a common choice, its long-term performance is limited due to its open-cell structure. In contrast, ArmaFlex insulation offers superior performance for ductwork.
With its closed-cell structure, ArmaFlex provides excellent thermal resistance and durability, making it an ideal choice for ductwork insulation. This advanced material not only ensures better thermal stability, it also reduces noise, creating a more comfortable environment. Unlike fiberglass, ArmaFlex’s closed-cell structure prevents moisture absorption, reduces the risk of mold growth, and maintains its insulation properties over time.
In addition, ArmaFlex’s superior thermal insulation improves overall system efficiency, potentially leading to energy savings and reduced operating costs. Its durability and resistance to deterioration ensure long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent fiberglass insulation replacement. Choosing ArmaFlex for ductwork insulation is an investment in a solution that combines thermal performance, acoustic benefits, and long-term reliability, ultimately leading to a more efficient and sustainable HVAC system.
Cryogenic insulation
Cold-phase insulation is essential for maintaining very low temperatures in systems handling substances such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), and involves specialized materials designed to reduce heat transfer in environments below -150°C. While effective insulation is essential to conserve energy and prevent rapid boiling of cryogenic liquids, it also presents unique challenges.
A major risk in cold-phase insulation systems, particularly for LNG pipelines, is corrosion under insulation (CUI). Failure of this type of pipe can have serious consequences for operators, resulting in not only insulation replacement costs but also significant operational losses that the LNG industry cannot afford. CUI can compromise the integrity of the pipe, leading to leaks or ruptures.
Furthermore, cold-phase insulation installation is a time-consuming process that requires specialized skills and techniques. This extended installation time results in higher labor costs, which in turn increases the overall cost of operating and maintaining a cold-phase insulation system in an LNG plant.
