Maximizing Industrial Insulation Effectiveness with No and Low Investment Measures
The 3 kEys
- One of the simplest actions a Facilities Manager can take is to conduct a walk-through inspection, identifying areas where insulation is missing, damaged, or improperly installed. Clearly, temperature is transitioning at those points or surfaces.
- Infrared scans can reveal hot spots on steam lines, pressure vessels, and process equipment, highlighting areas where immediate action can result in measurable energy savings.
- Ensure that all exposed piping and equipment are properly insulated according to industry standards. Even small sections of uninsulated pipe can lead to significant energy loss over time.
Facilities managers play a pivotal role in optimizing energy efficiency within industrial settings. One of the most effective yet often overlooked strategies for reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs is ensuring proper industrial insulation. While large-...
