Insulating your PRV (Pressure Reducing Valves)

Removable insulation jackets are becoming more of a necessity every year when it comes to running an industrial facility that utilizes a plethora of equipment. One piece of a equipment that could really use proper insulation are the pressure reducing valves in your facility…More

How to Calculate Heat Loss for Steam Pipes

Featured Post

Many industrial facilities have steam pipes throughout their infrastructure regardless if the facility is a university or a manufacturing plant. Therefore, measuring varying degrees of heat loss is important to save money and protect your steam pipes with removable insulation covers.

Understanding how to calculate heat loss is the first step towards realizing the overall benefit removable insulation can have on your steam pipes and overall facility…More

Industrial Insulation Blankets

Insulation blankets for industrial applications are vastly different than insulation used for domestic applications. Removable, reusable industrial insulation blankets are made by manufacturing specialists like Thermaxx Jackets with heavy-duty insulation materials that can withstand extreme conditions. In fact, Thermaxx guarantees its insulation jackets for 5 years because they’re built with high-quality materials. Additionally, industrial insulation blankets can be custom made to fit even the most unique component. Read more.

High Temperature Insulation Covers & Blankets

Thermaxx Jackets manufactures insulation jackets to insulate very hot applications, ranging from 600°F to 2500°F. Depending upon the temperature of the application, specific designs and materials need to be employed in manufacturing of a high temperature insulating jacket. Traditional materials and designs fail when used at high temperature. The first step in the hot jacket design is the materials selection. This requires an understanding of the hot component, the components environment and the design of the jacket… More

Insulating Ammonia Refrigeration Systems

Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, or NH₃.  Because of Ammonia’s vaporization properties, it is frequently used as a refrigerant. NH3 boils at −33.34 °C (−28.012 °F) at a pressure of one atmosphere, Ammonia was commonly used before Freons (chlorofluorocarbons) became popular. Read more.

Insulation Jackets Vs. Insulation Blankets

There are a few benefits to utilizing a removable insulation jacket over a removable insulation blanket and vice versa. Clearly delineating the difference between the two is the first step towards understanding which would better fit your needs…More

Preventing the Frozen Pipe Nightmare

Summer is nearly over, now is the time to prevent pipe line freeze-ups! Frozen piping doesn’t only happen with water lines, there are many other substances and chemicals that are piped within a facility. Some pipes can cause shutdowns of production lines if the line freezes and breaks, creating hazardous conditions and in general wreak havoc! Read more.
