The need
for efficient thermal insulation, for slowing down the rate of
heat flow and thus minimize losses, has increased with
increasing energy cost. Prevention of heat leakage by
application of thermal insulation is the simplest method of
achieving substantial economy in energy consumption. An ideal
thermal insulation material, has low mass, high strength
& low thermal conductivity coupled with high serving
temperature and achieves :
-
Saving
of energy
-
Better
Control of temperature
-
Reduction
of Startup Heating load (in batch processes)
-
Increased
production
-
Fire
protection
-
Better
working conditions
-
Reduced
thermal spalling in refractory lining, etc.
Vermiculite
& Mica insulating bricks have high strength but have high bulk
density & poor insulating
characteristics. Mineral wool, Glass & Ceramic wool have
low mass & thermal conductivity equivalent to Calcium
Silicate but they have no inherent strength & are
compressible.
Calcium
Silicate Insulation is a versatile Insulation combining
thermal efficiency of flexible Insulation like Mineral wool,
Glass wool & Ceramic wool with the strength of conventional
Insulation Bricks up to 1000 °C temperature. It is long
lasting & maintenance free ensuring continued efficient
thermal performance. It is unmatched in places where
insulation may be subject to accidental exposure to water or
foot traffic or impact loads. As a thumb rule, wherever
refractory bricks are being used, CSI, should be used as a
backup layer.
