REDUCING ENERGY COSTS WITH PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER INSULATION

摘要

To ensure optimal operation and efficiency, insulation jackets will reduce energy spend with short-term payback, and can be fitted to any size of device. Making sure that the plate heat exchanger is in optimal condition is also crucial to ensure maximum performance and efficiency. Tony Church of Rotamec explains the advantages of plate heat exchanger insulation, and effective maintenance procedures. Whatever the building type, from a dairy or brewery to a factory or an office environment, pipework is nearly always insulated. Lagging and cladding protects pipes from environmental conditions, supporting long-term operation and minimising maintenance requirements. Fundamentally, insulation reduces temperature transfer, minimising heat loss or helping to maintain cool temperatures for gas and liquid flow. Insulating pipes therefore increases energy efficiency, reducing operating costs and decreasing a facility's carbon footprint.
