Introduction to Nano Aerogel Insulation

Nano aerogel insulation is an advanced material produced from aerogel with nano-scale structure, widely used since the 1990s. Aerogel is an extremely lightweight material derived from gel where liquid is replaced with CO2 gas, resulting in a solid material with very light weight and high porosity. Nano aerogel's distinctive feature is its nano-scale pores and structure, making it a highly efficient insulation material. This innovative insulation offers unique thermal protection unlike conventional insulation, being lightweight and versatile, particularly suitable for applications with thickness or weight constraints at temperatures between -200°C to 1000°C, such as in aviation, industry, and high-performance building insulation where value and space savings are paramount.

CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) Problems in Steel

A common concern among those with thermal insulation experience is CUI, where metal under insulation corrodes, whether it's pipes, oven walls, valves, or other insulated metal components. In reality, these metals don't corrode because of the insulation itself, but due to gaps between the insulation and metal surface, or poor exterior insulation finishing that allows water or other liquids to penetrate the insulation and contact the metal surface and oxygen. Over time, this leads to metal surface corrosion. CUI is most commonly found at support points of structures holding insulated equipment, as these junction points create areas where water can accumulate.

Appropriate Thickness of Thermal Insulation

For those who have had to decide on thermal insulation thickness, you'll recall two major factors: the surface temperature of equipment requiring insulation and its operating duration after insulation. These two factors are crucial for calculating Return on Investment (ROI). This article will compare calculations from actual site work for two insulation thicknesses: 25mm and 50mm.

Understanding Thermal Conductivity

Thermal conductivity is a crucial parameter when selecting appropriate insulation for specific applications. It represents a material's ability to conduct heat through itself, indicating how thermal energy moves from one area to another within the material through conduction. In other words, thermal conductivity helps evaluate a material's efficiency in heat transfer. Insulation with low thermal conductivity can prevent heat loss or gain better than those with high thermal conductivity, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum temperature reduction.

Safety First: Assessing Heat Levels for Appropriate Work Conditions

In industrial settings, workers inevitably face and come into contact with heat during their tasks. The dangers of heat in the workplace are significant. When our bodies receive heat, they transfer it out to maintain a balance of body temperature, which is normally around 37°C (98.6°F). If the body cannot maintain this balance of the heat control system, abnormalities and illnesses can occur. Symptoms and illnesses that may arise include dehydration, fatigue, fainting, and cramps.
