One may think it’s something that can be overlooked, but water can cause serious damage to sensitive piping or equipment if left untreated. Corrosion (the gradual destruction of materials, usually metals, by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment) can...
Chilled water applications (around 45°F/7.77°C) and cryogenic applications (-126°F/-87.8°C & lower) require that ambient air does not reach the component or sweating and/or icing conditions occur. To keep ambient air from reaching the insulation or even the component a vapor barrier is required. The purpose vapor barriers is exactly what it sounds like, a barrier of material that will not allow...
