Coolant lines exposed to high ambient temperatures can suffer from heat soak, reducing their effectiveness and system performance. When external heat penetrates insulation and warms the coolant media, thermal management becomes more difficult. Cooling equipment is forced to work harder, consuming more energy and decreasing efficiency.
Blocking radiant heat in environments over 200C
Standard insulation materials (foam, fiberglass, etc.) offer limited protection in high temperature conditions. These compressible materials can degrade over time, leading to a loss in insulation performance. They also require cumbersome manual installation. In high temperature systems, particularly those over 200 degrees Celsius, exposure to radiant heat also demands a more robust insulation solution.
High temperature vacuum insulation with MLI
High temperature vacuum insulation with MLI (multi-layer insulation) delivers an ideal solution for coolant lines in ultra-high temperature applications. Insulon Vacuum Jacketed Hose with MLI reduces convective, conductive, and radiant heat transfer. This dramatically reduces heat ingress into the coolant line, maintaining low media temperatures.
