Cold Insulation Jackets for Pipes

The biggest factor affecting how much energy it takes to keep your pipes chilled is room temperature – the warmer the air temperature, the more energy it takes to keep your pipes similarly cool. By insulating your equipment with cold insulation, it will take less energy to keep your pipes similarly cool.

Pipe sweating is caused by a large disparity between pipe temperature and ambient temperature. Water condenses on the pipe, which can be the cause of several problems, such as dangerous wet floors, damage to water-sensitive equipment, or pipe corrosion.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is caused when the water inside insulation can’t escape and damages the equipment by eroding the metal. This can be caused by pipe sweating due to inefficient insulation or accidents that involve water leaking onto equipment. Thermaxx Jackets help prevent CUI by fitting snugly over your equipment to prevent pipe sweating. Should water get into your insulation, our cold insulation jackets have vents built in to allow water to escape before any damage is done. In addition to drainage, Thermaxx removable insulation blankets can be removed easily for routine inspection of the piping system.

Wet floors can be hazardous, especially if they’re concrete. Water consistently dripping onto an area, such as happens with uninsulated pipes, can cause algae or mold to grow in the constant moisture. This can cause health concerns, and make dangerous wet areas even more slippery. Cold pipe insulation will prevent the condensation that causes these problems.

Thermaxx Jackets are made to be easily removed and replaced, ensuring your energy efficiency will not get in the way of regular maintenance. Our quality jackets are made with hook and loop straps, or 1-inch buckles and D-rings. This keeps the jacket securely in place while making them easy to remove. Our jackets are also sometimes built with vents and water drainage solutions to help prevent corrosion under insulation.

Thermaxx Jackets are made with high-quality and state-of-the-art materials by USA manufacturers. We use heat-resistant thread and jacketing to ensure the jacket can handle high temperatures, and use fully hydrophobic aerogel insulation or Glass mat, type E needled fiber as insulation. We then sew the components together, ensuring the insulation interior is actively sewn into to jacket to prevent shifting. The result is a high-quality, durable jacket, able to withstand extreme temperatures and removal without losing quality or functionality.
