Insulation: Its Benefits In Industrial Applications
Insulation comes in many forms, from batts of fiberglass to spray foam. When used, insulation offers numerous benefits and can make any space safer and more comfortable. Insulation can even lower expenses and raise profits.
A few of the benefits insulation provides
Conserves energy. In the summer, insulation lessens the amount of heat coming into the space from the outside. In the winter, insulation helps to keep the heat inside the space. This conservation reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool the insulated space, which helps reduce energy costs.
Keeps workers safe from high temperatures. Certain pipes and pieces of equipment can become extremely hot to the touch. By adding insulation around the heated surface, it keeps workers from accidentally being burnt. Reducing the potential for work injuries helps improve worker up-time.
Helps maintain optimal temperatures. Certain processes work best when done within an optimal temperature range. Insulation can help limit heat loss or heat gain happening around the process itself. Maintaining optimal temperatures helps keep the process within guidelines which leads to higher quality results.
Prevents condensation build-up. Cold pipes, ducts, chillers, and roof drains can attract condensation. By keeping the surface temperature above the dew point of the air around, condensation is prevented. Preventing condensation helps to prolong equipment life and lower maintenance costs.
Provides a layer of fire and corrosion protection. Common insulation materials like fiberglass, slag wool, and rock wool are fire-proof. When combined with other materials, it provides a layer of protection around ducting, conduit, and cable. This layer of protection helps lower the chances of a fire breaking out.
Helps prevent noise transmission. Noise can come from inside or outside of a space. Certain insulation materials are a barrier to prevent the noise from traveling from one space to another. These materials can provide a quiet space in a noisy industrial facility. Also, these materials can insulate a quiet space from a particularly noisy piece of equipment. Thus preventing safety issues such as hearing loss or interference with critical communications due to excessive noise levels.
