ThermaXX Jackets was asked for expert insulation advice concerning a barbecue that was placed too close, in the customer’s opinion, to the exterior side of the RV for safe operation of the BBQ. BBQ’s can reach temperatures of 400°F and above, which, when placed too close to a fiberglass surface could cause serious problems. The biggest worry was not fire, although that was a consideration. The main worry was discoloration of the exterior portion of the RV directly behind the BBQ. Additionally the BBQ itself did not come with any kind of a weather cover. Our customer was concerned that if the BBQ was left outside that over time the BBQ components would seriously deteriorate!

When pipe heats up it expands thus there comes a need for an expansion joint. Without one, your pipes stand the chance of cracking causing big problems and costing you big bucks. Many materials expand with the increase of heat, especially piping. To help deal with this issue, an expansion joint acts as a way for the pipe to absorb the linear movement caused by the pipe expansion…More

Everyday insulating materials are not sufficient for hot applications. Traditional materials used in insulating blankets, covers and jackets (silicone/fiberglass) start to falter when approaching 600°F. Cover materials start failing, threads start degrading, and insulation starts burning… More

ThermaXX Jackets has been awarded a Contract with the NYC Dept. of Administrative Services for their Innovative Demonstrations for Energy Adaptability (IDEA) program. The IDEA program seeks to leverage the potential of innovative technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from City government buildings.

In 2009, one of our service divisions started manufacturing removable insulation jackets for a customer in CT, and ThermaXX was born. We quickly centralized our manufacturing operations in West Haven, CT. With a sales team consisting of myself and longtime employee and friend William Jones, we started to build a company and began working outside of CT. Read more about our story…More

According to the United States Department of Energy, “In steam systems that have not been maintained for 3 to 5 years, between 15% to 30% of the installed steam traps may have failed—thus allowing live steam to escape into the condensate return system.” In other words, your facility is losing money because the costly steam that has been produced is not being put to use!

In turn, more steam has to be produced to make up for the steam that escaped through the leak. In this article we’ll discuss the most common causes of a leaking steam trap and how to prevent and diagnose a steam leak. We’ll also provide additional information to assist you in calculating the cost of your lost steam… More

Thermal insulation is a great way to minimize energy loss in ducts. Insulating ducts helps the air within stay at the desired temperature. It also prevents the ducts from leaking air. Ducts which leak air can result in greater energy consumption and expensive utility bills. Read more.

At least a few days a week, my job as both the sales and project manager for ThermaXX involves entering boiler rooms, mechanical spaces, and central heating plants. When rounding the corner leading to that space, I often feel the heat wafting down the corridor. Fortunately my background as an estimator and project manager has prepared me so I know what to expect… More

NRG’s Devon Repowering Project will provide more needed electricity to southwest Connecticut by developing additional reliable, cost effective and clean power at the Devon Plant in Milford. The Devon Repowering Project will replace existing units 7 & 8 with 200 megawatts (MW) of natural gas powered generation – enough to power over 160,000 homes – to an area of the state where it is difficult to import electricity. The repowering will consist of four 50 MW General Electric LM 6000 combustion turbines…More

George Washington University had a problem. The compressors on a large chiller unit near a residential area were extremely loud. They needed to find a solution to their noise problem to address complaints from neighbors in that residential area. After installing sound insulation developed by Thermaxx Jackets LLC, the noise was immediately reduced, providing a quick and affordable solution…More
