FAQ

What is Mechanical Insulation?

Mechanical insulation serves to encase pipes, ducts, tanks, and equipment within commercial or industrial settings, where it is essential for managing a wider range of temperature fluctuations compared to typical residential insulation. In homes, insulation is generally installed in exterior walls and attics to maintain a stable and comfortable indoor climate. The temperature variations in residential insulation are usually much narrower than those found in commercial or industrial applications. For instance, a common residential scenario might involve maintaining an indoor temperature of 76°F while facing outside temperatures of 10°F in winter and 100°F in summer, resulting in a temperature differential of 24°F to 66°F. Conversely, in many commercial and industrial contexts, temperature differentials can span from 20°F to over 600°F. The primary function of mechanical insulation is to minimize heat gain or loss from surfaces that operate at temperatures significantly different from the surrounding environment. Consequently, the potential for reducing heat transfer is considerably greater in commercial and industrial applications than in residential settings.

An insulation energy assessment quantifies real monetary savings in relation to Btu losses and evaluates greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, NOx, and Carbon Equivalent (CE). This assessment relies on information provided by a plant or energy manager and is compiled during an on-site facility inspection.
Temperature is an independent property and should not be confused with the quantity of heat present. For instance, if you have two cups of coffee—one filled to the top and the other only halfway—the temperature in both cups will be identical, yet the cup that is only halfway full will contain only half the amount of heat (Btus) compared to the full cup. Mean Temperature refers to the average of the temperatures of a hot surface and a cold surface. The conductivity of insulation materials, known as the K-Factor, is evaluated at various mean temperatures to create conductivity curves that reflect the actual conditions in which insulation systems operate. All conductivity values (K, C, R) must be associated with a specific mean temperature. Ambient Temperature is defined as the average temperature of the surrounding medium, typically air, around the object in question.
