HOT SERVICE

Removable/reusable insulation retains the same amount of heat as conventional permanent insulation. The insulation cuts energy losses, keeps process parameters unchanged and provides personnel protection by maintaining low surface temperatures in high-traffic areas. Our specifications cover the range of temperatures from ambient up to 2300°F/1260°C.

Applications include, but are not limited to:

- Boiler rooms and steam systems
- Building HVAC systems
- District heating/cooling systems
- Chemical & Petrochemical Industry
- Power generation (steam & gas turbines)
- Engine exhaust manifolds
- Plastics Industry

 

HOT OIL SERVICE

ThermoHelp covers designed for high temperature hot oil service above 550°F/290°C are supplied with a stainless steel foil inner jacketing. This feature prevents penetration of leaking hot oil into the insulation core, thus reducing the risk of fire.

Hot oil removable insulation covers are frequently used with:

- Pumps
- Manways
- Valves

 

MANHOLE SERVICE

Manhole insulation typically requires special considerations due to the harsh conditions in steam distribution systems – unattended steam leaks, flooding, contamination with salt. ThermoHelp uses a unique design, which was successfully tested in the harsh conditions of hundreds of manholes, where a stainless steel sheet would corrode completely in one year. A leading North American district energy company has made this specification standard for all its steam manholes, replacing conventional permanent insulation.

 

FREEZE PROTECTION

ThermoHelp covers help maintain process parameters and prevent damage to equipment and instrumentation even under severe outdoors weather conditions. We custom-design our products to accommodate steam or electric heat tracing that currently exists on the equipment. As an option removable insulation covers with built-in electric tracing can be supplied.

Freeze protection removable insulation covers are most often used with:

- Pumps - Transmitters/DP cells
- Valves - Sight glasses & gauges
- Actuators - Gas cylinders

 

COLD SERVICE (CHILLED AND CITY WATER)

ThermoHelp covers designed for chilled water service prevent condensate sweating on cold surfaces and help keep water temperature low.

Cold service removable insulation covers are often used with:

- Pumps
- City water meters & backflow valves  
- Chiller heads  
- Butterfly valves

 

REFRIGERATION SERVICE

ThermoHelp covers prevent ice build-up on refrigeration equipment, which typically has no insulation, since it must be accessible for maintenance and inspection. We have implemented insulation covers for applications at temperatures as low as –80°F/-62°C. A unique design allows us to design removable insulation covers for sub-zero temperatures, without compromising the vapor barrier.

Refrigeration service removable insulation covers are most often used with:

- Pumps
- Valves

 

 

ACOUSTICAL SERVICE

ThermoHelp covers designed for sound attenuation can achieve a sound level reduction of up to 25 dBA depending on the specific conditions at your plant.
Acoustical service removable insulation covers are often used with:

- Fans
- Compressors
- Pumps
- Valves

 

 

FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE

Special jacketing materials used in ThermoHelp covers provide fire protection for control and processing equipment in chemical and petrochemical plants and pipeline installations. These materials readily passed the processing industry's 15-15 test (15 minutes in a hydrocarbon fire at approximately 1500°F).

 

SAFETY SHIELDS

We supply a full range of standard and custom-designed safety shields for the prevention of injury and damage in the event of chemical sprayout. Safety shields come transparent to allow visual inspection of pipe joints, or with built-in pH sensitive patch indicating the leak of an aggressive chemical.

Safety shields are manufactured for all types of flanged and threaded pipe connections and equipment such as:

- Flanges - Elbows
- Valves of all types - Tees
- Expansion joints - Unions
- Couplings - Clamps
