4. Insulation Work
4.1 Insulation material and thickness
4.1.1. Insulation material
Insulation material should adopt the material which is able to endure the pipe’s temperature: no less than 70℃
in the high-pressure side, no less than 120℃ in the low-pressure side(For the cooling type machine, no
requirements at the low-pressure side.)
◆ Example: Heat pump type----Heat-resistant Polyethylene foam (withstand above 120℃)
Cooling only type----Polyethylene foam (withstand above 100℃)
4.1.2. Thickness choice for insulation material
Insulation material thickness is as follows:
Adiabatic material thickness
4.2 Refrigerant pipe insulation
4.2.1. Work Procedure
① Before laying the pipes, the non-jointing parts and non-connection parts should be heat insulated.
② When the gas proof test is eligible, the jointing area, expanding area and the flange area should be heat
insulated.
4.2.2. Insulation for non-jointing parts and non-connection parts
Gas pipe and liquid pipe should
not be put together to insulate
Insulate the gas pipe
(cooling only)
Insulate the gas pipe and
liquid pipe
