What information is required to prepare a preliminary quotation?
What questions can we ask a client who contacts us regarding a preliminary quotation?Interested parties usually already have a list of valves or equipment they wish to insulate, including their names. However, in order to prepare an accurate and well-tailored quotation, we require a few additional details: DiameterLengthOperating temperature Additional...
Where is thermal energy being lost from?
Are you wondering where heat is escaping in your plant? After all, most equipment and technical installations in industrial facilities are already insulated, and yet energy bills remain high and continue to hit your budget. What has been overlooked? Perhaps just a few valves. Are you sure? Or are there...
We will not leave a single area uninsulated!!!!
Each technical installation has its own unique shape and complex geometry. That is why we design bespoke solutions for every type of valve or fitting to which our covers are to be installed. The thermal insulation covers are tailored to fit precisely and adhere closely to the insulated equipment. The...
Pump set covers
We are going to show off a bit—why not? A job well done deserves a few words.Recently, at a client in the food industry, we installed insulation covers for pipework, including a pump set. Our SUM Guard thermal insulation products are perfectly tailored to both the equipment and the existing...
Covers for pasteurisers
Heat exchangers, whose primary function is to transfer heat between two (or more) circuits, are another type of installation/equipment that should be insulated. Heat exchangers form a very broad group of devices which, depending on their application, may differ significantly in size and construction type. We will focus here on...
Maximum diameter of an insulated pipeline
Water and steam installations in district heating networks are often of very large dimensions. What was the largest diameter of pipelines insulated with SUM Maintenance Guard thermal insulation covers? The nominal diameter (DN) of pipelines in a district heating chamber reached up to 1,200 mm!!!!! How is it possible that,...
Filling station nozzle – a cover with heating cables
SUM Heating Guard covers are used as an active system which, in addition to its insulating function, is able to protect installations against the temperature dropping below a preset value. At the same time, the covers protect the device itself—in this case the filling nozzle—from the adverse effects of weather...
Steam turbine insulation – insulation of particular importance
A conventional power turbine is a highly sensitive and complex piece of equipment, with a clearly defined division into temperature zones: - in the high-pressure section, the casing reaches temperatures close to those of the live steam, which can be as high as 600°C and pressures of up to 200...
From the series: Our projects
And another example of the application of thermal insulation covers at one of our clients’ sites. Standard industrial fittings, which had previously remained uninsulated, generating heat losses. SUM Maintenance Guard covers are an excellent complement to conventional insulation systems. The fusion of these two technologies creates a coherent and complete...
