Many process industries involve the transfer of large volumes of air or other gases. For example the ventilation processes of paper machines involve large amounts of energy that must be recovered. The airflow volumes associated with the ventilation of industrial processes are in a class of their own when compared to major conventional structures. High flow speeds, fluctuations in temperature and pressure together with the sheer size of the ducts and equipment, require high mechanical strength from the structures.
In process industries, energy flow management is vital for the functionality and economy of the operation. Such demanding applications also require specialist insulation solutions, designed and developed specifically for the purpose.
Paroc's flue duct insulation solutions provide superior thermal insulation at high temperatures, good mechanical strength, are suitable for multilayer applications, and help prevent condensation.
The optimum solution for each application
In flue duct applications, a double layer of insulation is usually used in order to prevent cold bridges. Generally, both layer are slabs but it is possible to combine slabs with wired mats. The optimal insulation material depends on the temperatures and type of channel in question. For rectangular channels, slabs are easier to install but wired mats are also possible.
Insulation constructions can vary according to different specifications.
