Anti-Sweat Insulation Picture Page

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

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

 

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

 

           

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

 

   

bulletHere 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.

 

 

bulletThe 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.
bulletThe 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.
