Benefits of Thermal Insulation Jackets

Benefits of Thermal Insulation Jackets

Thermal insulation jackets boast a multitude of benefits to industrial sectors across the board, reducing costs whilst allowing maximum performance of on-site equipment. But what are they, and how can this fitted insulation solution impact your business? At Cordtape, we aim to shed light on the advantages that thermal insulation can bring to the table.

What is a thermal insulation jacket?

Thermal insulation jackets are removable, insulated jackets and covers. They are used to prevent the escape of heat from various industrial elements including:

• Valves
• Flanges
• Pump bodies
• Pipes
• Machinery

They are removable systems designed to ensure plant and staff safety on both industrial and civil sites.

Benefits of thermal insulation jackets

1. Energy saving solutions

The heatproof nature of thermal insulation jackets prevents the need for excess energy use. These jackets act as guardians, preventing unnecessary heat loss and maintaining optimal temperatures within industrial components.

According to industry reports, proper insulation can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%, contributing significantly to environmental conservation and long-term cost reduction.

2. Money saving

It’s a well known fact that energy costs constitute a substantial portion of industrial expenses, and the installation of thermal insulation jackets can reduce this figure significantly.

3. Simpler maintenance

Thermal insulation jackets are removable, making any ongoing, regular or emergency maintenance on pipe or valve work far easier. This access cannot be underestimated when it comes to the long-term physical and financial stability of industrial equipment.

Likewise, disruption to your day-to-day operations will be minimal.

4. Extends lifespan of valves and pipework

The wear and tear of industrial components are inevitable, but thermal insulation jackets can significantly extend their lifespan. By providing a protective layer, these jackets shield valves and pipework from harsh environmental conditions and other damaging factors including:

• Corrosion 
• Condensation damage 
• Rusting 
• Surface mould

5. Noise reduction

In addition to thermal benefits, these jackets offer an unexpected advantage: noise reduction. The insulated covering acts as a sound barrier, reducing the impact of noise generated by industrial processes. 

This not only contributes to a safer working environment but also aligns with environmental noise regulations.

6. Zero infrastructure modifications needed

Installing thermal insulation jackets is a seamless process that doesn’t demand extensive infrastructure modifications.

These jackets are measured and fitted on-site, specifically designed to suit the individual size and shape of your internal pipework with a snug fit. In essence, they are made to your requirements, and at your convenience.

7. Bespoke manufacturing

At Cordtape, we manufacture bespoke acoustic and thermal insulation jackets, with measuring and on-site fitting from our manufacturing site in Nottingham. Regardless of whether you are a new production plant, or an established business that is unable to stop for maintenance, our thermal insulation jackets are designed to be installed in a fast, efficient and simple manner, allowing your workforce to continue operating without disruption to operations.
