Challenges/Characteristics
Constant insulating efficiency
The task of thermal insulation is to provide reliable and long-term thermal resistance despite potential harsh environmental and service conditions. Reliable and long-term insulation efficiency is a prerequisite to safe and economical plant operation. But, long-term insulation efficiency doesn't just happen. It must be built into the facility through the use of proper materials and systems. If the goal of long-term efficiency is compromised, severe technical and economical problems will result.
