Industrial Aerogel Insulation Solution

Energy plays an important part in modern industrialized society. To save energy and costs to the utmost, high-efficiency insulation materials are in need for the thermal insulation of industrial pipelines and equipment. With extremely low thermal conductivity and other amazing properties, aerogel materials show unbeatable strengths over conventional insulation materials like rock wool, alumina-silica, organic foaming materials, etc. As a leading aerogel material manufacturer in China, our factory provides industrial customers with the most efficient customized thermal insulation solutions, which are the most energy-saving, space-saving, and cost-saving.

Challenges Faced in Industrial Insulation

Modern industrialized society is getting stricter on energy-saving standards of industrial pipelines and equipment. Conventional thermal insulation materials like rock wool, alumina-silica, etc., are faced with big challenges.

A Wider Range of Thermal Insulation Temperature 

Due to the development of science and technology, now the industrial thermal insulation temperature range can be: -200℃(e.g., cryogenic ambient temperature) to 1000℃ (e.g. industrial furnace ambient temperature), which conventional thermal insulation materials cannot cover effectively.

Low Thermal Insulation Efficiency

Thermal conductivities of conventional thermal insulation materials like rock wool, alumina-silica, etc. seem to be low at room temperature, but when the practical ambient temperature goes high, their thermal conductivities increase rapidly. Meanwhile, the insulation layers of conventional materials are very thick, and the thermal bridge effects cannot be avoided. What’s more, as the structures of conventional insulation materials are not compact enough, they are easy to deform. All these will lead to lower and lower insulation efficiency of them and can cause big energy loss, especially for long-distance high-temperature industrial pipelines.

Costly and Complex Transportation and  Installation

As the insulation layers of conventional insulation materials are thick and heavy, the packing and transportation are costly and they need large installation spaces and complex installation operations, which may also be quite costly. What’s more, sometimes, it is impossible to install them in special scenarios like limited narrow space, or where the equipment to be insulated has to work continuously without any interruption.

High Maintenance Costs and Short Service Life

As the structure of conventional thermal insulation materials like rock wool, alumina-silica, etc. are not compact enough and easy to deform, careful maintenances are often required after installation. What’s worse, as their service lifespans are not as long as the insulated pipelines or equipment, it is necessary to remove them and change the insulation material after only several years. All these could be very costly and troublesome. Meanwhile, how and how much to deal with the removed old insulation materials remains a big problem, too.

Toxic to Humans and Harmful to the Environment

For conventional insulation materials like rock wool, foaming organic materials, etc., the production process of them is harmful to the environment and they may release toxic gas or smoke when encountered with high temperatures or fires.

Aerogel Solution & Products Involved

To solve the core needs of our industrial thermal insulation clients, we have developed a series of products such as aerogel insulation blankets, aerogel insulation panels, and new customiz products like aerogel insulation tube shells, etc.

Aerogel Solution to Cryogenic Insulation and High-clean Insulation

  • To greatly reduce the energy loss
    With nanoporous silica(SiO2) aerogel as the core material, the thermal conductivity of our XB-C Cryogenic Aerogel Insulation Blanket is extremely low. Its thermal insulation performance is 2~3 times that of conventional insulation materials like organic foaming materials, thus, it can greatly reduce energy loss. 
  • To withstand temperatures as low as -200℃ and to be applied in high-clean insulation applications
    Composed of nanoporous silica(SiO2) aerogel and other inorganic fibers, and covered with aluminum foil, our XB-C Cryogenic Aerogel Insulation Blanket can work under -200℃ and meet high cleanliness operation requirements in different industries like pharmacy, electronics, etc.
  • To insulate moisture and prevent low temperature condensation
    Covered with aluminum foil, our Cryogenic Aerogel Insulation Blanket can effectively insulate moisture and prevent low-temperature condensation, keeping it airtight and frost-free.
  • To save the total costs to the utmost
    As the thermal conductivity of our XB-C Cryogenic Aerogel Insulation Blanket is extremely low, its insulation thickness is extremely thin. So it can greatly save energy, save space, save the logistics and warehousing costs etc. to the utmost. What’s more, as it’s easy to install the cryogenic insulation blanket, and its service life can be as long as 30 years and needs no special maintenance after installation, it can save labor costs, maintenance cost as well as the costs of changing new insulation materials.

Aerogel Solution to High Temperature Insulation

  • To greatly reduce the energy loss
    As the thermal conductivity of our XB-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Blanket and XC-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Coating is extremely low, the insulation thickness is extremely thin. The thermal bridge effect can be extremely reduced or avoided. What’s more, the structure of the high-temperature insulation materials is quite compact and durable, they can work stably with insulation performance 3~5 times that of conventional insulation materials, thus, it can greatly reduce energy loss.
  • To prevent pipelines and equipment from CUI and extend their service life
    With nanoporous silica(SiO2) aerogel as the core material, our XB-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Blanket and XC-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Coating are hydrophobic and their structures are quite compact. No water absorption or moisture absorption. Thus, they can prevent pipelines and equipment from CUI and extend their service life.
  • To withstand high temperatures and to prevent pipelines and equipment from fires
    Our XB-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Blanket, XC-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Coating, and XP High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Panel can with withstand high temperatures up to 650℃ and our XP-HT High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Panel can with withstand up to 1000℃. All of them are fire-retardant and can prevent industrial pipelines and equipment from fires.
  • To protect workers from high temperatures
    With silica(SiO2) aerogel as the core material, our high-temperature aerogel insulation materials can effectively reduce the surface temperature of high-temperature pipelines and equipment, and improve the working environment and protect workers from scalds.
  • To save the total costs to the utmost
    As the thermal conductivity of our high-temperature aerogel insulation materials is extremely low, their insulation thickness is extremely thin. So it can greatly save energy, save space, save logistics and warehousing costs, etc. to the utmost. What’s more, as it’s easy to install them, their service life can be as long as the pipelines or equipment, and they need no special maintenance after installation, they can save labor costs, maintenance cost as well as the costs of changing new insulation materials.
