Fitting an insulation jacket yourself works in many cases, as long as it was made to measure and the component is easy to reach. For a hard-to-reach valve, a large section of pipework, or installation under time pressure during a shutdown, bringing in a specialist is usually the faster and safer route.
In this article you'll read when you can fit it yourself, when a specialist is the better call, and why the fit is what ultimately makes the difference.
Insulation jackets don't deliver the same return in every situation. With a small temperature difference, a jacket that doesn't fit well, or an installation that's only partly insulated, insulation jackets deliver less return than you'd expect.
In this blog you'll read in which situations the return on insulation jackets falls short, and how you prevent or fix that in practice.
What should you insulate in a utility building for the biggest return? Usually not the pipework, because in offices, hospitals, care facilities and swimming pools that's already insulated as standard. The biggest return sits with the fittings, valves and plant components that are often left uninsulated: a single uninsulated valve can lose as much heat as several metres of uninsulated pipe.
