Thermal Wool Insulation

OUR SERVICESThe ventilation ducts need to maintain heat loss and also balance the air temperature while transporting hot air through the ducts.

Incase of cold air the ducts need to maintain a lower temperature inside the duct and is maintained by the warm insulation of the duct. If this insulation is not appropriate then the HVAC system will take up a lot of heat as well as mechanical energy and the system's functioning will deteriorate.

Condensation problems can be easily solved by using thermal Wool Insulation. Condensation occurs when there is a temperature difference inside the duct and of the outside air. This will cause the humid air outside the duct to condense and cause it to turn into water. This water can collect on various surfaces and cause damage to the system as well as the floors and ceilings. A proper layer of Insulation will make sure that the surface temperature is similar to the ambient temperature.

Noise is a major problem of the ventilation system, especially in commercial areas where there are a lot of ducts for air flow that can cause noise and the ventilator fans causing vibration. Proper Insulation can help dampen the noise and reduce excess vibration.

The buildings occupied with thermal insulation are more efficient as there will be a balanced temperature leading to a better occupant comfort. It will stay warm in the winters and cool in the summers inside the building leading to lower use of heating and cooling systems. It will not only reduce the utility bills but also the carbon footprint.

All kinds of insulation, especially thermal insulation, should be covered by a vapour barrier on ductwork operating below the ambient air temperatures. The vapour barrier must not be damaged or pierced from any place and should be continuous giving protection to the whole surface of the insulation which it covers. Also the material selected for use as a vapour barrier must be compatible with the thermal insulation that it is applied to.

Examples of vapour barriers are

  • Wet applied systems like solvent based polymers, emulsions with or without elastomeric latex.
  • Elastomer sheets with joints overlapped and vapour sealed.
  • Polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polyisobutylene or any type of plastic tape or sheet.
  • Epoxy and polyester resins.
  • Reinforced aluminium foils.

Thermal Wool Insulation is a great way to ensure that there is no heat loss and the energy uptake by the system is less leading to energy conservation and low carbon footprint, so that it doesn’t contribute to higher bills.
