You probably already know that insulation prevents heat loss and conserves energy. According to the National Insulation Association, a properly designed and installed insulation system immediately reduces the need for energy and results in significant savings. On hot pipes and surfaces, heat loss can be reduced by about 20 times. This explains the beneficial use of thermal insulation blankets today. Let's discuss the process of installing thermal insulation blankets.

1. Inspect the Area or Asset Before Installing the Blanket

Relying on professionals for the installation of thermal insulation blankets is a wise decision. First, they'll perform a background check on the piece of equipment you want to blanket to identify potential obstacles. The system's condition gives you a clear picture of the protective equipment needed to stay safe throughout the installation. For instance, you may need burn protection equipment.

2. Match the ID of the Blanket to the ID of the Asset

Expert technicians use an identification number to identify the component set for insulation. The numbers are written on the component side and easily visible. Normally, the numbers are written with a heat-resistant grease pen to ensure they remain visible long without susceptibility to heat damage. Once you see the ID, the next step is to match it with the corresponding ID on the blanket slate which has vital information such as the component location. They'll scan the slate to get all the requisite information before bringing in the necessary thermal insulation blankets.

3. Assemble and Install

Each blanket is custom-made, so your technicians need to align the cutouts before the installation to save time. Once the pieces are in place, the team should proceed with the installation of the thermal blanket on each component. You must ensure that each blanket fully encompasses the component and no area is left uninsulated and exposed.
