Anti-Sweat Insulation Picture Page
This is an example of a completed anti-sweat
insulation job on a chill water piping and valve system.

 | The piping is insulated with Armaflex insulation,
wrapped with pasted lagging cloth, then final paint. |
 | The Valves are insulated with removable insulation
blankets. The blankets can be removed for valve maintenance, then
reinstalled after work has been completed. |

 | This is an example of a chill water piping system
with the insulation removed during piping repairs. |

 | Here we see qualified insulators installing Armaflex
anti-sweat insulation on a chill water piping system. |
 | The insulation must be precisely cut to fit the
piping and components. Any gaps will allow condensation build up and
loss of desired temperature. |

 | Here we see the lagging cloth installation in
process. The fiberglass cloth is saturated in lagging paste, then
wrapped around the pipe insulation to seal and protect. The seal is very
important to eliminate condensation. Elbows, valves, flanges and hangers
are wrapped first. Then the straights are wrapped with an overlap to
ensure proper seal. |

 | The picture on the left shows valve and piping
components insulated solid. Systems with operating temperatures below 45
Degrees F require this type of application to properly insulate and eliminate
condensation. |
 | The picture to the right shows a removable
insulation blanket or pad. This application is recommended for
anti-sweat insulation applications for valves and components on systems
operating above 45 Degrees F which require periodic maintenance. The
blankets can be removed prior too, and then reinstalled after valve and
component repairs and inspections. |
