Build your Insulon vacuum jacketed hose assembly
Insulon vacuum jacketed hoses are available in a variety of formats to suit your application. Whether you need to safely transfer liquid nitrogen, chiller fluids, steam, or high temperature gases, the Insulon Hose product line can be adjusted to suit your specifications without overengineering. Select insulation performance level, pressure rating, and optional end fittings to suit your specific application.
Applications
Cryogenic fluids
Reduce operating costs with low-maintenance, pump-down-free vacuum jacketed hoses for industrial gas supply, cryo-freezers, and cryogenic hydrogen applications.
Low-temperature chillers
Maximize energy efficiency and minimize condensation with easy-to-install Insulon hoses for chiller supply and return lines. Available in lengths up to 20 meters (66 feet).
Process heating and cooling
Maximize performance for temperature control units (TCUs) used for process heating and cooling in semiconductor, chemistry, research, and laboratory applications.
Exhaust lines
Insulate high temperature exhaust gases with double-walled Insulon Hoses. May also be used to route cables and wires in high temperature environments.
Steam transfer
Improve safety in high temperature, high pressure steam transfer applications in food production and other industries with lightweight, flexible Insulon Hoses.
Other applications
Insulon Hose is engineered to thermally insulate fluid transfer systems from -270 to 815 C (-454 to 1500 F).
1. Select diameter and length
Diameters: 1/4″ ID (DN6), 3/8″ ID (DN10), 1/2″ ID (DN12), 3/4″ ID (DN20), 1″ ID (DN25)
Lengths: 2 to 66′ (0.6 to 20 meters)
2. Choose your performance level
Standard
Standard Insulon hoses feature a sleek, compact design with smaller outer diameters than most other vacuum insulated hoses. The lightweight, ergonomic design saves space while improving handling.
