Dyplast Releases Technical Bulletin 1115 on Thermal Aging of Insulation in Low-Temperature Applications

Technical Bulletin 1115

Thermal Aging of Insulation in Low-Temperature Applications

Dyplast's latest Technical Bulletin addresses "Thermal Aging", which is the gradual reduction of thermal insulation performance over time experienced by some insulants due to latest-generation (highly efficient) blowing agents diffusing out of the closed cells within the insulant. There are many insulants with initially "poor" thermal efficiencies that exhibit no thermal aging (i.e. they remain poor), and alternatively there are insulants with initially "superior" thermal efficiencies that even after aging continue to have superior thermal efficiencies. Thus over the lifetime of the insulation system this latter class of insulants offers energy savings that far exceed those of non-aging insulants!

1)  Insulants manufactured with Hydrocarbons, HFCs, or HFOs generally have better (i.e. lower) thermal conductivities than those blown with air or air-equivalents;

2)  Testing methods such as those used by ASTM strive to predict thermal aging and provide apples-to-apples comparisons between alternative insulants, yet it is incumbent on engineers/specifiers to execute due diligence;

3)  Thermal aging protocols typically age specimens at ambient conditions that vary rarely reflect the conditions present at the actual application;

4)  Thermal aging is mitigated (sometimes dramatically) by a number of factors – particularly low process temperatures and physical impediments to gas diffusion such as insulant layers, vapor barriers and jackets.

Donald E. Stephens Convention Center

Rosemont, Illinois

Dyplast is excited to participate in the upcoming (NIA) National Insulation Association’s Fall Summit which is being held in conjunction with the inaugural IEX’s Insulation Expo USA. This first-ever major North American Summit and trade show covering thermal insulation for mechanical systems in the commercial and industrial markets. NIA’s Fall Summit will take place from October 26 – 28 with the IEX Insulation Expo starting one day later October 27–28, 2015. Both events will be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois—right outside Chicago.

Dyplast exhibits at the IEX Insulation Expo because our ISO-C1® family of polyiso insulation mechanical pipe insulation system is an integral part of the design and successful operation of mechanical pipe insulation and refrigeration systems. ISO-C1® meets or exceeds the ASTM C-591 and the ISO-C1 2.5 # also meets or exceeds the CINI 2014 (for cryogenic applications). The ISO-C1 products has been successfully used for many years as mechanical pipe insulation and is a proven economic insulation technology. Exhibiting allows Dyplast personnel to discuss first hand with the engineers, designers, owners, and customers attending, the economic value that ISO-C1® imparts to their operations.

Dyplast “Mission Critical” Article in LNG Industry Magazine

 

Dyplast examines the role of the insulation system in optimizing value in LNG Facilities!

 

Dyplast CEO Ted Berglund and VP of Sales and Marketing Joe Hughes just published an article in the “July/August” issue of LNG Industry magazine which examines the importance of due diligence when choosing a cryogenic insulation system that will optimize value in LNG Facilities. The selection of the optimal insulant and the appropriate insulation system is “Mission Critical”! Engineers, specifiers, owners, and stakeholders are becoming increasingly vigilant regarding what information is relevant, what information is factual, is there full disclosure, and is data validated by an independent laboratory? These concerns dictate a second or even third look at optimizing lifecycle risk and performance – steps beyond lifecycle cost. This article considers the role of the insulant and the insulation system in these efforts since they have a substantial impact on lifecycle cost (material/labor capital cost), long term operation and maintenance costs, and on lifecycle performance and risk.
   

Dyplast’s ISO-C1® 2.5 # polyisocyanurate foam clearly supports stakeholder objectives and concerns since it meets or exceeds not only the latest requirements of ASTM C591-15 but also CINI-2014 specifications; and ISO-C1® has a long history of success at LNG facilities globally.

UPDATED CUSTOMER BULLETIN 05-15 A COMPARISON OF ISO-C1® and HT-300 POLYISOCYANURATE INSULATION

Dyplast Products in it's ongoing effort to provide timely and accurate information about polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation within the industry has updated it's Customer Bulletin 05-15 "A Comparison of ISO-C1 and HT-300 Polyisocyanurate Insulation".

 

This updated Customer Bulletin is part of a series of white papers aimed at providing our clients, engineers, contractors, fabricators, and friends with objective information on competitive products. Marketing literature on the internet and in printed media address the physical and performance characteristics of competing polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulations fabricated from bunstock. As is often the case, some literature can be misleading and/or in some cases there may not be sufficient information to credibly compare products. This Customer Bulletin provides factual, clarifying information which should allow for an objective comparison of Dyplast's ISO-C1® with HiTherm's HT-300 (each 2 lb/ft3 density).
