Insulation for cold installations – SUM Anti-freeze Guard

A common problem in food industry plants where refrigeration processes are used is the build-up of ice. This is clearly illustrated in the image below, which shows an ice layer forming on ammonia-based fittings.

SUM Anti-freeze Guard covers have been designed to meet the specific requirements of industrial cold installations such as ammonia, glycol, and chilled water systems. These covers eliminate the problem of condensation and ice build-up, which is commonly observed on unprotected fittings. They significantly reduce the time required for maintenance interventions, as technicians do not need to break through layers of frost to access the equipment.

SUM Anti-freeze Guard covers:

• have high resistance to water and water vapour
• are suitable for industrial fittings operating at low temperatures, such as chilled water or ammonia systems
• reduce losses of process cooling resulting from the warming of the working medium
• easy and quick access to insulated equipment thanks to simple, tool-free operation
