Cold insulation is the process of maintaining a low temp. of below 15.6 degree around an object to avoid damage of object
Cold Insulation Materials :
1. Polyurethane Foam: Handles low thermal conductivity and substances with below freezing temperature and also allows for low smoke emission and low water vapor permeability.
2. Rubber Foam: It is highly resistant to moisture vapor and hence very effective cold insulator.
3. Cellular Glass: It helps to maintain chilled water in pipes and equipment, used in hot oil piping and equipment.
Benefits of cold insulation :
1. Reduces the cost of energy consumption.
2. Prevents condensation of moisture.
3. Helps to reduce the capacity and size of mechanical equipments.
4. Reduces the emissions from pollutants
