Rolled thermal insulation Energoflex for pipes technical specifications. Energoflex insulation: characteristics, advantages, use. Energoflex Black Star Split

Thermal insulation is necessary in all cases where it is necessary to protect pipes from a decrease in ambient temperature. In areas with a predominantly cold climate, insulation of open sections of the pipeline is a necessary condition for their long-term uninterrupted operation. In air conditioning systems, on the contrary, it is necessary to minimize the heating of air and fluid. The insulation for pipes "Energoflex" will perfectly cope with these tasks.

Insulation features

Thermal insulation for pipes "Energoflex" is a flexible thermal insulator that can be used to insulate not only pipelines, but also various surfaces.

Tubes "Energoflex" by extrusion followed by foaming with butane-propane are made from high-pressure polyethylene (LDPE). The technological scheme of production determines the appearance of the finished product: it is an elastic tube with many air-filled pores. It is precisely due to the presence of micropores that the insulation of Energoflex pipelines has excellent heat-insulating properties.

Thermal insulation "Energoflex" is produced in the form of:

hollow tubes put on top of the pipes. The diameter of the products is in the range of 18-160 mm. Depending on whether a new pipeline is being installed or an existing one is being insulated, Energoflex insulation for pipes can be put on in its entirety or cut along and glued along the seam after installation.
Rolls– foiled or without foil. Such a heat insulator can both cover floors and wrap complex or hard-to-reach heating or water supply systems.
Sheets. Flexible thermal insulator plates are used to ensure the operation of fittings or pipeline sections with very large pipe sections.
Plates. Products are used for thermal insulation of floors and large areas of communications. Energoflex boards can only consist of foamed polyethylene or include a layer of foil (read also: “How to choose insulation for pipes made of foamed polyethylene - characteristics of the insulating material”). In the latter case, in addition to maintaining heat, water-repellent properties of the material are provided.

It produces Energoflex and self-adhesive tape for joining and final sealing of insulating materials.

Of course, the entire range of products offered by the company has quality certificates and meets safety requirements. Today, Energoflex pipe insulation is the best choice for home and industrial use.

Properties of heaters "Energoflex"

The properties of high-density polyethylene foam make it possible to use the products in almost any conditions, except for being under direct sunlight.

Technical characteristics of the insulation for pipes "Energoflex":

high quality organic thermal insulation - indicators in the region of 0.038-0.039 W / (m s);
range of permissible temperatures confirmed by certification – from -60°С to +90°С;
resistance to chemicals of almost any nature - high-pressure polyethylene does not react with alkalis, acids, saline solutions and oils, protecting pipes from corrosion;
good water-repellent properties - absorbs no more than 3.5% of the volume of moisture;
service life with proper installation and use - up to 25 years;
an impressive size range of pipe products and an unlimited scope of Energoflex rolls.

Among the shortcomings of the heater can be noted:

instability to direct solar radiation;
low mechanical resistance - up to 0.3 MPa;
the upper temperature limit - +100°C - limits the scope of products.

Insulation installation

Due to the flexibility and low weight of the material, the installation of insulation is quick and without much physical effort. The only limitation is that the work must be done at a positive air temperature so that the glue does not harden.

The order of installation of thermal insulation:

Clean and degrease the surfaces of the pipeline on which it is planned to place the insulation.
Carefully lay the thermal insulator, leaving no bare sections of the pipe.
First, bent sections and fittings should be isolated, then straight sections of the pipeline.
To connect the parts, a special glue is applied to the surface.
The assembled thermal insulation should dry out within a day, after which the system is ready for operation.

If everything is done carefully and in accordance with the instructions, thermal insulation will last a long time, preventing unnecessary heat transfer and protecting pipes from corrosion.

Energoflex: insulation for pipes, technical characteristics of thermal insulation, insulation tube for pipelines

Overview of thermal insulation Energoflex for pipes

Thermal insulation, as well as the installation of a shell for thermal insulation of pipes, is a necessary measure for the normal operation of the pipeline, which ensures the protection of pipes from freezing under the influence of negative temperatures in winter, and from loss of coolant temperature as a result of heat exchange with the environment in the rest of the year.

Thermal insulation for pipes Energoflex

This article will consider one of the best materials for thermal insulation of pipes - Energoflex. You will find out what strengths and weaknesses this material has, as well as get acquainted with the types of insulation, and their technical characteristics.

1 Advantages and disadvantages

Energoflex polyethylene foam has all the strengths and weaknesses of this material. First of all, it is necessary to highlight the complete resistance of the insulation to the liquid, which has a positive effect on the durability of the pipes, since they receive reliable protection against corrosion due to moisture.

This advantage is explained by the fact that tubular thermal insulation from Energoflex, like polyurethane insulation, has a structure of many closed cells that do not let water or steam through.

When completely immersed in liquid for 24 hours, the insulation absorbs no more than 0.5 of its volume of water, and then only cells on the outer surface of the material absorb liquid, which were cut when cutting sheets of foamed polyethylene when creating insulation sleeves.

The advantages of this material also include low thermal conductivity, which is 0.032 W / mk, which is comparable to more expensive mineral wool, which is considered one of the best existing heat insulators.

According to the flammability class, Energoflex belongs to the G2 group - normally combustible materials, the operating temperature range of the material is from -40 to +90 degrees. The ignition temperature of the material is 306 degrees.

The manufacturer adds special additives to the composition of polyethylene, thanks to which the Energoflex insulation has the ability to freeze-out, in the absence of direct exposure to fire.

Tubular thermal insulation Energoflex, like thermal insulation K-Flex for pipes, is sufficiently elastic, which allows it to take its original shape after any deformation, and guarantees maximum ease of installation on pipes of any shape.

Pipes insulated with Energoflex

Among the other advantages of Energoflex, the following factors can be distinguished:

Resistance to chemically aggressive environments, which makes it possible to insulate underground sewer pipes that are constantly in contact with groundwater;
High strength characteristics that guarantee a long service life of the insulation - from 20 to 25 years, during which the material does not rot and does not lose its thermal insulation properties;
Environmentally friendly as a heater for pipes made of foamed polyethylene - when working with Energoflex, there is no need to use any protective equipment, since foamed polyethylene does not have any negative effect on the human body.

1.1 Energoflex Super

When installing thermal insulation in two or more layers, installation must be carried out with a seam offset.

Thermal insulation of pipelines and equipment should be carried out in the off state. You can continue to operate the system no earlier than 24 hours after installation.

When insulating pipes outdoors, it is necessary to choose insulation with a coating material in accordance with SNiP 2.04.14-88.

During installation, it is forbidden to stretch the thermal insulation in the longitudinal or transverse direction. It is recommended to squeeze it slightly.

Tools and fixtures

For the installation of thermal insulation, special tools and fixtures will be required.

miter box ENERGOFLEKS - for setting the angles of rotation of pipes and for cutting corner wedges;
knife with a long blade (~300mm) - for cutting rolled material and large diameter pipes;
short knife (~70mm) - for pipes of small diameter;
brush - for applying adhesive;
ring punches - for making holes in insulation;
construction line;
roulette;
smooth spatula - for applying glue;
pen or pencil.

Insulation bonding ENERGOFLEX

Before applying the ENERGOFLEX adhesive composition, it must be thoroughly mixed. It is recommended to use glue in a container of 0.5 liters. The adhesive is applied in a thin layer on both surfaces to be glued. To connect surfaces in five minutes after drawing glue. If the glue on the surface is dry, it is applied again. The use of glue is recommended at an ambient temperature of at least +17°C, optimally - +20°C. If the adhesive has thickened, it can be diluted with ENERGOFLEX solvent.

Installation of thermal insulation ENERGOFLEX

When installing thermal insulation pipes, various methods of work are used.

If the pipes need to be welded, the thermal insulation must be moved from the welding point by 250-300 mm and welding should be carried out. Glue the ends of the thermal insulation.

Longitudinal cutting method. Thermal insulation is mounted on already installed piping systems. The thermal insulation tube must be cut with a knife with a short blade along the axis, mounted on the pipeline. Glue the incision and additionally strengthen it with a clamp, glue the ends of the tubes together.

Roll installation. Thermal insulation of pipes with a diameter of more than 160 mm is carried out with rolled material. This method of installation is also used for mounting several layers of thermal insulation. To do this, measure the required circumference, cut off the section required in length and width from the roll and mount it.

Wedge cutting method. It is necessary to use this method on pipelines with a diameter of up to 90 mm. In the insulation tube, using a miter box, wedges are cut from the inside at an angle of 22 ° or 45 °, depending on the angle of rotation. The distance between adjacent wedges is 5-10 mm. All cuts are glued and fastened with a clamp.

Angle cutting. The method is used to obtain right angles of rotation. The subsequent operations are similar to the previous methods.

Diameter marking.

To do this, cut out two half-sectors ABCD, which are glued along the line L, the thermal insulation is installed on the pipe and the inner corner is glued. The rest is cut perpendicular to the pipe.

From the whole variety of insulating materials for pipelines, you can easily choose the one that you will need in this particular case. The use of thermal insulation will save money, maintain the required temperature of the coolant or prevent the liquids in the pipeline from freezing, and prevent the appearance of condensate.

Insulation of engineering systems passing outside heated structures is one of the most important points in the issue of housing construction. The harsh conditions of most regions of Russia require mandatory insulation of such pipes. More recently, glass wool or materials based on its modifications have been used for these purposes. However, with the advent of modern thermal insulation materials, the solution to the issue of insulation of communications has become much more effective. It is especially worth noting that one of the leading brands of these products has become domestic - energoflex thermal insulation from Rols Isomarket. Its strong point is the production of insulation for pipelines based on foamed polyethylene.

This is no doubt true. Flexible pipe thermal insulation Energoflex is designed specifically for the insulation of hot and cold water supply systems, sewerage, air conditioning, ventilation and others. This technical insulation provides effective protection against temperature extremes, freezing of pipes, moisture condensation, while reducing structural vibrations.

The basis of such insulation is polyethylene foam, which is mixed under pressure with a propane-butane mixture. The result is a material with a porous structure, and with closed pores filled with air. Its technical characteristics allow you to protect communications reliably and for a long time.

What are the advantages of such isolation

This insulation has a number of characteristics that put it among the best materials:

lightness and plasticity;
resistance to deformation and mechanical damage;
moderate flammability (combustibility group G2);
temperature mode of use - from - 40 to = 95 degrees;
reduction of structural noise;
resistance to aggressive media such as lime, concrete, cement, stone, gypsum;
increased strength;
zero hygroscopicity (does not absorb moisture);
decay resistance;
durability;
ease of installation: the presence of longitudinal cuts (often with a self-adhesive layer) makes installation quick and convenient.

Among other things, Energoflex is an environmentally friendly material. When working with it, the use of personal protective equipment is not required. All this gives ample opportunities for the use of this insulation during installation work.

However, he has one negative characteristic: he is sensitive to sunlight. Like any polyethylene, Energoflex is afraid of ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, for outdoor use, the manufacturer produces a type of thermal insulation with a special layer of polymer protection.

What is this insulation used for?

Of course, the purpose of any isolation is to protect. Modern materials produced from foamed polyethylene protect pipes from many harmful factors:

heat loss of external heating pipes;
corrosion of metal structures;
freezing, and as a result - gusts of water pipes in winter;
overheating of ventilation systems.

This thermal insulation is produced in the form of pipes, plates, sheets and rolls of various thicknesses and diameters, which facilitates the choice of modification for each specific case.

Wide range - for different purposes

In addition to the basic modification, the range of pipe heaters from this manufacturer includes many other subspecies with excellent technical characteristics, designed for various purposes. Among them:

Energoflex Super SK. Hollow pipes made of foamed polyethylene, in the design of which there is an adhesive seam, which greatly simplifies and speeds up installation work.

Energoflex Super Protect. Sheet rolled polyethylene foam insulation is used to insulate various structures, including shut-off valves and large diameter pipes. It is produced with an external protective polymer coating of special strength. It is mainly intended for insulating heating and water supply pipes passing inside walls and floors.

Energoflex Super Al. Rolled heat-insulating foil material for protection of heating, water supply, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The reflective layer of aluminum foil provides a high coefficient of heat reflection (about 90%).

Energoflex Super TP. Designed primarily for use in the installation of underfloor heating systems. A protective polymer coating provides strength and chemical resistance to mounting compounds, and a layer of aluminum foil - uniform heat distribution.

Energoflex Black Star. This flexible tube is used for thermal insulation of copper pipes used in air conditioning systems. It does not have a notch in the design, but it is put on copper tubes quite easily.

Energoflex Black Star Split. The purpose of these pipes is similar, but this modification is equipped with a durable protective polymer layer that is resistant to sunlight, which allows it to be used even outdoors.

Energoflex Black Star Duct. This type of polyethylene foam isolate has a self-adhesive layer at the base. It is mainly used in air conditioning and ventilation systems, for pipes of large diameter. Its technical characteristics make it possible to significantly reduce noise and structural vibrations.

These heaters a few years ago could be called a real technical breakthrough. They are made of modern materials, are environmentally friendly, easy to install and reliable in operation, have a set of properties that correspond to the field of use, and are able to satisfy almost any consumer demand.

With the help of polyethylene heat insulators of the Energoflex line, any communications can be protected from various harmful effects: from sewerage and ventilation to water supply and heating. And, in addition, where necessary, noise, vibration, and the impact of aggressive conditions will be reduced. Which, ultimately, will ensure a long service life of all communications at home, and make the living of its owners comfortable and cozy.
