Do You Know All of Insulation's Benefits?（一）

    A properly designed and installed insulation system offers immediate and long-term benefits. Insulation protects your personnel, your equipment, your system,and your budget.   

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                    

Fire Protection

Used in combination with other materials, insulation helps provide fire protection in firestop systems, grease and air ducts, and in electrical and communications conduits and cables.

 

Noise Control with Insulation

A well-insulated system helps reduce noise levels by:

l  Absorbing emitted sound;

l  Meeting OSHA requirements by eliminating sound at the source;

Improving the work environment by improving worker morale and communication.

This is one benefit that's tough to put a price on, but we all know it happens. Noise can seriously impact a worker's health and productivity—so much so that OSHA does in fact have noise standards in place. Manufacturing environments can be extremely noisy and cause major health problems if noise abatement and protection are not dealt with. In addition, noise produced by appliances, piping, heating and air conditioning systems, phones, radios, and even by talking are major reasons people are dissatisfied with their work place.

Insulation materials are used to encase or enclose noise generating sources and reduce noise to acceptable levels so that stress, lost time, and dissatisfaction do not impact the employee and/or the product you are trying to get out the door.

Insulation reduces the level of both exterior and interior noise by preventing transmission of exterior sounds to the interior of the building, and absorbing reverberating sounds within the building.

 

Energy Savings: Insulation Reduces Energy Costs

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. With delivered natural gas and fuel oil costs at $7 to $10 per million Btus, that adds up!A properly designed, insulated, and maintained system significantly reduces energy costs, which saves money and protects the environment. An unbelievable amount of energy is lost through uninsulated valves, bare pipes, or defective insulation. It seems to be one of those maintenance things that never gets done—until somebody can demonstrate what it's costing to ignore the uninsulated system.

 

Protect the Environment by Reducing Pollutant Emissions with Insulation

Use a well-designed and insulated system for greenhouse gas reduction.

l  Lower energy use means less pollution (particulate, VOCs, CEs, NOX, SOX, carbon      monoxide, mercury, etc.).

l  Improved performance of pollution control equipment.

 

Insulation reduces energy consumption, which means that less fossil fuel is burned to produce that energy. This, in turn, decreases the amount of polluting gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. Because carbon dioxide is one of the principal greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, and sulfur dioxide is the major component of acid rain, insulation plays a significant role in protecting the environment.
