With environmental change, humankind has to deal with changing weather and lifestyle conditions. Things are no longer the same as they were a few decades ago. As energy resources are drastically depleting worldwide, an urgent call for “ENERGY” preservation in manufacturing and industry usage has become the need of the hour. The major cause of heat loss is Insulation, which needs to be checked now and then. Thermal Insulation helps keep the flow of heat intact inside or outside the building as per the requirement. After years of research and studying various materials, Thermal Insulation Energy Saving Solutions that help minimize heat loss have been formulated and implemented.

What is Thermal Insulation Energy Saving?

Thermal Insulation is the process of reducing heat transfer through various materials that help hold back heat flow. Materials can come in any shape, surface or size. To sustain the heat from mechanical and environmental damage, multiple finishes are being used to seal the Insulation; these enhance the appearance and help conserve energy.

Mechanical Thermal Insulation

Mechanical Thermal Insulation is used in many places:

• To improve the efficiency of the energy consumption of the huge buildings like shopping centres, schools, hotels, hospitals, domestic supply of water both hot and cold, refrigerator systems, air condition etc.
• In industrial facilities like power plants, paper mills, refineries etc.
• Mechanical and thermal Insulation uses materials to control heat gain or heat loss on their equipment, such as pipelines, boilers, stacks, storage tanks, smokestacks, steam and condensate distribution system etc.

How Does Insulation Work?

The basic function of thermal Insulation is to provide a considerable amount of resistance for the heat to flow through the insulation material. To gain this functionality, insulation material needs to reduce the heat transfer rate or heat flow from the warmer to the cooler surface; this is done through different means, like conduction, convection and radiation.

Conduction – In this method, energy flows through solids from molecule to molecule in a material through a process influenced by the physical contact of particles, which helps enhance the heat flow. The difference in temperature by its thermal conductivity determines the heat flow in a specific material.

Convection – Heat flow is carried from one place to another by heated air, gas or liquid (fluid). The movement of heat flow will be influenced either by natural convection or forced convection.

Radiation – The transmission of energy in light, radiation, or other electromagnetic waves or heat energy forms. The energy produced from a hot body can travel freely only from a completely transparent medium like glass and translucent materials.

Roll of Insulation –

– minimizes the heat loss or heat gain to attain energy maintenance

– helps the environment by reducing the CO2 and other greenhouse gases

– increases the efficiency of heating, ventilation, cooling, plumbing, and power systems

– helps in controlling the surface temperatures of commercial, industrial and homes

– protects workers from second and third-degree burns

– reduces sound transmission loss.

Types of Insulation Material –

• Soft Touch Aerolite Insulation is the most advanced Insulation for your home.
• Mineral wool is a more industrial Thermal Insulation typically used on hot boilers.
• Cellulose Insulation is made of recycled paper and is fine dust like Insulation.
• Polyurethane Foam or spray foam is an expensive spray foam type insulation
• XPS Ceilings are 600mm wide Isoboard-type Thermal Ceilings

High insulation levels and air tightness are essential elements of having low energy, and enhanced Insulation is an integral part of the building fabric leading to sustainable energy.
