Thermo-Gen EX™ covers also find applications in thermal oil installations. Thermal insulation in such installations is crucial as thermal oil is used to transfer heat in various industrial processes. Thermo-Gen EX™ covers effectively protect the entire installation from thermal energy leakage, maintaining a stable temperature within the thermal oil system.

Thermal insulation of fittings and pipes in flue gas installations:

Thermal insulation of fittings and pipes in flue gas installations is essential for safety and optimizing industrial processes. Pipes and fittings exposed to high temperatures require insulation not only for thermal protection but also for corrosion resistance, mechanical damage, and other adverse factors. Thermal insulation in flue gas installations helps reduce heat losses, improve energy efficiency, and minimize harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

Pipe wraps:

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers are also used as pipe wraps. In industrial installations, pipes transport various substances, including liquids, gases, and thermal oils. The high temperatures of these substances can lead to thermal energy leakage from the pipes, affecting the efficiency of the installation. Thermo-Gen EX™ covers provide effective thermal insulation for pipes, protecting them from thermal energy leakage and ensuring installation safety.

Thermal insulation of flexible connections:

Another application of Thermo-Gen EX™ covers is the thermal insulation of flexible connections. Industrial installations often use flexible connections to compensate for movements and vibrations. However, these connections are particularly prone to thermal energy leakage, affecting the efficiency and safety of the installation. Thermo-Gen EX™ covers provide efficient thermal insulation for flexible connections, protecting them from thermal energy leakage.

Thermal insulation in hazardous areas:

By dissipating electric charges from the material's surface, Thermo-Gen EX™ covers ensure uncompromised improvement of safety and hygiene conditions. This is particularly important in installations located in hazardous areas where caution and appropriate equipment usage are required. Thermo-Gen EX™ covers meet all the standards and requirements for such installations.

In summary, Thermo-Gen EX™ covers are highly effective tools for thermal insulation and protection of fittings and pipes in industrial installations. With their unique properties, they excel in hazardous areas and installations operating at high temperatures, exposed to noise and vibrations.

Advantages and Benefits of Using Thermo-Gen EX™ Covers

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers offer numerous advantages and benefits for industrial businesses requiring effective thermal insulation for their installations and equipment. Apart from thermal insulation, they possess many other valuable features to consider.

Dissipation of electric charges from the material's surface

One of the key advantages of Thermo-Gen EX™ covers is their ability to dissipate electric charges from the material's surface. This minimizes the risk of sparks and voltage jumps, contributing to increased work safety and protection against explosions.

Effective protection against thermal energy leakage from installations

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers provide efficient thermal insulation, minimizing the risk of thermal energy leakage from installations. As a result, energy consumption by the installations is reduced, leading to cost savings.

Uncompromised improvement of health and safety conditions

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers are designed to operate in hazardous areas, contributing to the improvement of health and safety conditions within the production facility. Thermal insulation reduces the risk of burns and cooling for personnel working near the installations. Moreover, dissipating electric charges decreases the risk of explosions.

Easy and quick installation/removal

Installing and removing Thermo-Gen EX™ covers is straightforward and fast. Only reliable grounding and appropriate attachment of the cover are required. There is no need for additional construction elements or tools, resulting in time and cost savings.

Trouble-free access to installations, reduced downtime for maintenance and inspections

Thanks to the easy and quick installation/removal process, Thermo-Gen EX™ covers provide trouble-free access to installations for maintenance and inspections. This reduces production downtime, contributing to increased plant efficiency. When replacement of fittings or flanges is necessary, after removing the cover, these tasks can be performed faster and more efficiently.

Protection of fittings against external factors

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers provide protection for fittings against external factors. This protection is as important as thermal insulation. Exposure to external factors such as moisture, dust, UV radiation, or corrosion can significantly reduce the fittings' lifespan and affect their reliability. Therefore, it is crucial to use appropriate protective covers and materials resistant to these factors. This ensures not only better protection but also minimizes maintenance and replacement costs for the fittings.

Fire-resistant properties

Thermo-Gen EX™ covers possess fire-resistant properties, which are crucial in industries where high temperatures and flammable materials are present. Thanks to these properties, the covers protect installations from rapid fire spread.

Sound-absorbing properties:

Another advantage of Thermo-Gen EX™ covers is their ability to absorb sound. The flexible insulation covering the covers absorbs sounds, allowing for reduced noise levels in industrial premises where workers operate. This is crucial for the safety and health of employees exposed to harmful noise.

In summary, Thermo-Gen EX™ covers are exceptionally effective solutions for thermal insulation in industrial installations. Their unique features, such as dissipating electric charges, effective protection against thermal energy leakage, health and safety improvement, easy installation/removal, resistance to high temperatures, and sound-absorbing properties, make them efficient protection for fittings and pipes in hot water, steam, thermal oil, and other hot fluid installations.
