Why Steam Distribution Systems?
Cut n WrapTMInsulation Kits
Temperatures typically below 500F
Lots of piping system components Areas with high incidences of
unintended heat loss, or gain
Generally not optimally designed for
low temperature steam dist. systems
Custom-made covers are expensive
Covers are designed for higher-temp
industrial steam systems
Many times they do not get replaced
Too cumbersome 7

Cut n WrapTMInsulation Kits
New Concept
Use modularized insulation kits
Insulate ALL of these difficult,
convoluted surfaces, leaving no
surfaces bare (except valve handles)
Types of components:
Valves Valve bonnets & stems
Flanges
Pressure regulators
Strainers9

All-in-One Modularized Insulation Kits
Removable/reusable insulation blanket 4x8 blanket can typically insulate up to
five 3 components
Material is easily cut with utility knife

Cut n WrapTMInsulation Kits
Basic Concept
Standardized materials are brought to
the job site (insulation sheets androlls of hook and loop fastener)
Modules provide a basis for cutting
insulation sheets into required smaller
size sheets or pieces
Minimum tools (only tape
measure, scissors, utility knife,
and pliers stapler)

Cut n WrapTMInsulation Kits
Why these are effective
The first layer of insulation reduces heat loss
by at least 85%
Valves, pressure regulators, PRVs, strainers, etc.
have very large surface areas (more than they
appear)
Covering these surfaces with only one layer of
insulation
Can significantly reduce heat load in room
Reduce space air temperature
Remove hot surfaces that pose burn
potential
