Refrigerant line insulation installation for air conditioners, heat pumps, and other equipment.

Long-term performance and life cycle costs for building owners can be achieved with a well-designed refrigeration system.

The potential for downtime to be minimized is one of the things that distinguishes refrigerated systems.condensation and vapor drive are enemies of every refrigeration system.The right insulation can control these threats.

The range of temperature for commercial and industrial refrigeration systems is 20F to -50 F.The constant target of condensation and vapor drive are the service temperatures.Hot gas defrost cycles can have spikes of up to 250F.The consequences of inadequate heating, ventilating, and air conditioning line insulation design include system failure and downtime.

The ASHRAE Handbook recommends a wide range of insulation for refrigeration system applications.The closed-cell structure, low water absorption and low WVT are some of the characteristics of these insulation types.Depending on the owner project requirements (OPR) project team's basis of design, any one of the above HVAC refrigerant line insulation types may be selected and specified with a supplemental vapor retarder jacket or coating.

For almost 70 years, closed cell flexible foam has been available in the U.S. market.It is installed for a number of purposes.

Key considerations for success with closed cell foam are listed below.
