As temperatures drop, how’s your insulation looking?

Presspahn Ltd News and PR from Presspahn Ltd - Published 02 April 2013 As temperatures drop, how’s your insulation looking?
Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiativem influence.

Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials. (Wikipedia)

Thermal insulation continues to offer a number of benefits to industry where the need to either keep things hot or keep things cold is key.

Thermal insulation can be used to reduce the cost of processes or the cost of running either consumer or industrial equipment, by slowing thermal losses the amount of energy needed to maintain a required temperature is also reduced.

Thermal insulation can be used to reduce the size of units; more advanced insulators can now even improve on air for reducing heat loss.

Thermal insulation can be used to protect sensitive equipment from extreme temperature changes in harsh environments.

Cost reduction is certainly a more widely discussed topic with many manufactures no longer just looking for ways to make units cheaper to buy to also significantly cheaper to run and this is where the choice of thermal insulation can be important.

Examples of good thermal insulators available from Presspahn include; Nomex®, Mica, Elmtherm and Superwool. Each one offers strengths depending on the application for which it is being considered and discussion with our technical staff can help you choose.
