Valve Insulation Jackets

Why Insulate Valves?

According to insulation.org, “Steam valves should be insulated. Insulating them conserves energy and also provides personnel safety protection. Since valves require periodic maintenance, the form of insulation used on valves should be easily removable and replaceable. Many manufacturers provide custom-made insulation jackets that fit their valves. These are usually very snug fitting without voids and are very efficient.”

The True Cost Of A Single Uninsulated Valve

When you walk through a facility that uses steam, it’s very common to see an uninsulated valve. Usually, this is because the client didn’t want to pay an insulator to install an insulation cover on a single valve. Most facilities don't understand how much energy that uninsulated steam valve is losing each year. Each uninsulated steam valve is losing hundreds of dollars per year! The table below shows how many BTU’s per hour a standard gate valve loses:

One 6″ gate valve is losing $508.00 per year! 

Annual Fuel Savings = 5,800 Btu/hr Χ 8,760 hr/yr ÷ (0.80 efficiency) = 63.51 MMBtu
