What device is hidden beneath the thermal insulation covers? It may not seem like much, but it is labour-intensive: starting from the time a technician needs to take measurements, through accounting for openings for outgoing cables and sensors, and finally installation. The measurement head on the furnace, which we will...
Large dimensions
We have already demonstrated that large dimensions are neither an obstacle nor a challenge for us. Among other projects, we have installed covers on pipeline systems in district heating chambers, with diameters reaching up to DN 1,200 mm!!!!! In the photo below, we present a recent project where the circumference...
Thermal insulation cover for IBC intermediate bulk containers
SUM IBC Guard thermal insulation covers for IBC intermediate bulk containers, equipped with a heating system and thermostat, are designed to maintain a specified process-required temperature and/or prevent the temperature from falling below a set level (protection against freezing or crystallisation). They are designed for repeated use and do not...
Temperature measurements – thermal imaging camera
Our visit to the Client is aimed at gaining a precise understanding of the needs and operating conditions of the installation, in order to propose the most effective SUM Guard thermal insulation covers tailored to them. This ensures that the Client can be fully confident that we will deliver a...
Steam installation
We present another project on a steam installation, where our task was to fit into areas where the use of fixed insulation was not possible. Exposed valve components and other fittings generated unnecessary energy losses. A properly matched size and shape of the insulating covers ensures that all valve components...
Gas boiler house
Another project we would like to present features our SUM Guard covers installed on valves and installations in a gas boiler house.At the same time, we had the opportunity to see one of the largest and most modern cardboard manufacturing plants in Poland. In a completely new, recently commissioned boiler...
What is the cost of thermal insulation covers?
SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are custom-made to measure. SUM Guard thermal insulation covers are manufactured to measure, based on a specific order, for a designated piece of equipment or industrial fitting. The investment cost is influenced not only by the size of the technical installation, but also by factors...
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,...
Is thermal insulation using covers as effective as traditional insulation?
We still occasionally encounter situations where a client is not convinced that removable insulation is as effective as fixed insulation. After all, can covers made of technical fabrics really be as effective as mineral wool protected by sheet metal? The answer is yes, but more on that in a moment....
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...
