词条 | Removable insulation blanket |
释义 |
A removable insulation blanket is a cover made from layers of thermal insulation materials that is fastened onto a mechanical component to maximize its efficiency, regulate its temperature, and improve workplace safety. Using such blankets ensures that the covered component is easily accessible and serviceable, unlike traditional stay-in-place insulation.[1] Removable insulation blankets are also known as removable insulation pads, removable insulation covers, and removable insulation jackets. Removable insulation blankets can be installed on many indoor and outdoor components such as boilers, steam traps, pipes, valves, flanges, and more.[2] They are typically used to prevent heat from escaping hot components; however, they can also be used to prevent freezing or warming of cold components. The insulation materials used vary based on environmental external temperatures, internal operating temperatures, and more. TypesThere are several types of removable insulation blankets. The most common are:
Design & FunctionDesignMost removable insulation blankets follow a similar design process that begins by taking measurement of the component being insulated. Next, appropriate insulation materials are selected . Once a pattern is designed to snugly fit the component, the selected noncombustible materials are layered and cut to exact measurements using specialized precision cutting technology.[4] Then, they are sewn together by an industrial sewing machine. Finally, fasteners such as straps, D-rings, and hook and loop are installed to enable the removable insulation blanket to remain in place. FunctionInsulation is achieved by slowing the transfer of thermal energy (heat) to or from a component. This is achieved by insulating the component with materials that have a high r-value, which measures how well a material resists conductive flow of heat. The external layer of a removable insulation blanket is typically durable, made with a material like Silicone or Teflon, to protect the component from the elements. The touch temperature of the component is lowered to a safer temperature, which prevents workplace injury. MaterialsThe materials used in the design of removable insulation blankets vary based on the type. Some of the most commonly used materials used include:
BenefitsRemovable insulation blankets provide many benefits including:
