Insulation of boilers

Hot water boilers and boilers for the production of water vapor under high pressures are considered to be steam boilers. As a generic term, boiler is used to denote steam generators and hot water installations. Insulating boilers has the following purposes:

•  Reduces heat loss and increases the efficiency of the boiler.
• Ensure the safety of touching by reducing the surface temperature.
•  Prevents heating of the compartment air in the boiler house to create a safe working environment.

The design and functionality of the boilers on the market is so varied that the examples we adopted cannot fully include the particular circumstances of each case. Judge whether

the products and construction described are suitable for the corresponding application in

each individual case. Any doubt, consult the Rosewool@ Technical Services Team.

The applicable standards and regulations must also be observed. A few examples follow:

• ASTM C1696 "Standard Guide for Industrial Insulation Systems"
• NACE SP0198 (Control of corrosion under thermal insulation and fireproofing materials-
• a system approach)
• ASME "Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code"
• MICA"National Commercial & Industrial Insulation Standards"
• DIN 4140 (Insulation works on industrial plants and building services installations)
• AGI Q101 (Insulation works on power plant components)
• CINI-Manua: "Insulation in industry"
• BS 5970 (Code of practice for thermal insulation of pipe work,equipment and other industrial

installations)
