Chabel Conti Thermo Protect
An innovative insulation material
Other heat saving technology
Technology description
Unvulcanised Conti Thermo Protect can be modulated into almost any shape or form and is suitable for standard and flexible flanges, fittings and complex piping systems and assets. It is designed to insulate complex applications and save energy on these spots.
Key features
- Excellent thermal insulation: the material substantially reduces the thermal loss.
- Wide temperature spectrum: can be applied up to 250-280°C.
- Reduces the number of occupational accidents: Conti® Thermo-Protect reduces the risk of burns and injury as a result of contact.
- Multiple benefits: the product is self-adhesive, moisture-repellent, self-extinguishing and widely applicable, due to the extensive resistance against multiple media.
- Has a robust nature: the material is UV-stable and weatherproof.
- Practical: Conti® Thermo-Protect is very flexible, plastically deformable, easy to process without use of any adhesives or tools, and easily repairable as well as removable.
- Go Green: Conti® Thermo-Protect is an ecologically useful innovation.
- Durable: long lifespan and reusable, for both piping and moulded pieces.
- Eco-friendly: the material is considered as normal residual household waste
- Conti Thermo Protect is walkable after vulcanization
Application fields
- (Flexible) piping for steam, gas and liquids
- Valves, safety valves and other appendages
- Different types of filters
- Tank roofs
- Thermal oil installations
- Presses
- Manifolds
- Other places which are difficult to insulate
Business case
Insulation of VLF filters at Bunge Loders Croklaan
CO2 impact / Energy cost reduction
Chabel calculated the costs of insulation for a 1,500 mm diameter filter:
The costs for the applied insulation were about € 2,400, including assembly. The return time, in case of a surface temperature of 100°C at the surface of the filter (without insulation), and a gas price of € 0.25 / Nm3, is approximately 1.5 years.
Non-energy benefits
Personal Protection, Getting down ambient temperature in production room, easier maintenance: insulation can stay on its place during operation of the filter, no change on fire, because CTP will not adsorb fluids.
