Heat insulation

Heat insulation may be required for safety reasons, providing protection against accidental contact in cases where surface temperatures are high – but it may also be a necessary part of the processes that take place in the system. Its purpose is to prevent heat and/or energy losses. Differing requirements have resulted in designs varying widely in insulation thickness and insulating material. To protect heat and sound insulation against mechanical or environmental influences, a sheet metal casing made from aluminium or galvanized/stainless sheet metal is used, depending on the requirements of the application.
