Insulation Work
5.1 Insulation material and thickness
1). Insulation material
Insulation material should adopt the material which is able to endure the pipe's temperature: no less than 70
less than 120
in the low-pressure side(For the cooling type machine, no requirements at the low-pressure side.)
℃
Example: Heat pump type----Heat-resistant Polyethylene foam (withstand above 120 )
Cooling only type---- Polyethylene foam (withstand above 100 )
2). Thickness choice for insulation material
Insulation material thickness is as follows:
Refrigerant pipe
Drainage pipe
5.2 Refrigerant pipe insulation
1). Work Procedure
① Before laying the pipes, the non-jointing parts and non-connection parts should be heat insulated.
② When the gas proof test is eligible, the jointing area, expanding area and the flange area should be heat insulated
2). Insulation for non-jointing parts and non-connection parts
