Reduction of energy consumption with steam pipe insulation and reduced surface temperature by 36 degrees F.
Problem
Grupo Modelo needed steam pipe insulation at their Guadalajara, Mexico facility to insulate, reduce surface temperature, and protect equipment from corrosion and moisture.
Solution
Nansulate™ High Heat was applied to heat interchangers – large steam pipes – and other equipment to insulate, protect against corrosion, and decrease the amount of energy used for equipment processes. Preliminary results showed a 20 degrees Centigrade (36 Fahrenheit) difference after a 3-coat coverage (approximate thickness of 7 mils dry film thickness).
Standout Results!
The final analysis showed that Nansulate™ High Heat reduced energy consumption and lowered the pipe surface temperature by 36 degrees F (20 degrees C), and provided an effective way to insulate, save energy and protect assets.
