When you are considering buying insulation blankets for the mechanical components in your building, facility, or campus like boilers, steam traps, steam pipes, etc. you are presented with a wide variety of options and technologies to invest it. The complexity of your choice is only compounded by the many contractors and corporations that compete to design, manufacture, deliver, and/or install the insulation for you. This article is meant to help you in providing some considerations to make before deciding where to buy removable insulation blankets.
According to Wikipedia, “A removable insulation blanket is a cover made from layers of thermal insulation materials that is fastened onto a mechanical component to maximize its efficiency, regulate its temperature, and improve workplace safety. Using such blankets ensures that the covered component is easily accessible and serviceable, unlike traditional stay-in-place insulation.”
Thermaxx has been designing insulation blankets for decades, and in this industry experience matters. Many insulation blankets are made with materials that cannot withstand the heat of the components they’re covering, and disintegrate or lose their integrity over time. Ensure that your insulation blanket manufacturer offers a 5-year guarantee (like Thermaxx) to protect yourself from bad design or materials from the manufacturer.
Buying insulation blankets for large facilities or entire campuses typically begins by conducting a heat loss survey in your facility. This survey is completed by a mechanical insulation expert or contractor like Thermaxx Jackets who can identify all of the components in your facilities that have damaged or missing insulation, and prioritize their need to insulate based on energy loss.
Once you’ve identified & prioritized your insulation needs, your contractor or insulation expert will manufacture custom insulation blankets for your previously measured components including boilers, heat exchangers, steam traps, steam pipes, valves, & so many more. Each component has unique needs based upon its environment and operating procedures, and mistakes due to inexperience can be very costly, damaging, or even harmful to your assets or your employees.
