Q
Why are traditional open-cell, fibrous in-fill pieces unnecessary with these cryogenic systems?
Our Cryogenic Systems can be fitted under compression, eliminating the need for traditional open-cell, fibrous in-fill pieces for contraction and expansion joints.
Q
What advantages does the NBR-based outer layer provide?
While the inner layers of our ULT insulation provide optimum mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures, the NBR-based outer layers provide excellent thermal efficiency.
Q
How does the insulation system prevent Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)?
The system reduces CUI risk thanks to a high closed-cell structure (percentage of close area >95%) and a very low moisture permeance factor, keeping moisture away from the insulated assets.
Q
What is the thermal conductivity of this insulation at extremely low temperatures?
At cryogenic levels, the conductivity factor ranges from 0.0127 W(m.k) at an average temperature of -196℃, to 0.0242 W(m.k) at -100℃, ensuring superior thermal retention.
Q
What is the recommended operating temperature range for the standard insulation?
The recommended operating temperature range for standard configuration lies between -50℃ to +105℃, with specialized cryogenic systems performing reliably down to -196℃.
Q
Does the system help reduce project and installation costs?
Yes. The flexibility and lightweight nature of the insulation allow for easy handling and shipment, significantly reducing total installed time and driving project savings.
