Kotelny Island and on one of the islands of Franz Josef Land "meets" ROCKWOOL!
To insulate pipelines in northern individual heating points (ITP), ROCKWOOL 100 winding cylinders made of stone wool coated with aluminum foil were chosen. ROCKWOOL technical insulation allows you to reduce heat losses, increase the thermal resistance of the structure, solve the issues of noise insulation and fire hazard, as well as ensure the safety of personnel. Foil on the surface of the cylinders improves their thermal insulation properties and protects against moisture.
An important advantage when choosing technical insulation for these ITPs was the possibility of using ROCKWOOL 100 wound cylinders at temperatures of the insulated surfaces from -180 to +650 oC. The high resistance of stone wool to temperature effects and changes significantly increases the reliability and durability of insulating structures.
For ease of installation, wound cylinders have a continuous longitudinal section on one side and a corresponding notch from the inside on the opposite side. The plane in which the cut and notch lines lie runs through the entire cylinder. That is, the cylinders are simply "put on" the pipes and fixed mechanically, while the longitudinal and transverse joints of the cylinders are glued with ROCKWOOL LAS-A self-adhesive aluminum tape.
The peculiarity of wound cylinders is in the technology of their manufacture. Cylinders are not cut from finished slabs, but are produced by winding layers of stone wool. Due to this, the fibers have the same arrangement along the entire circumference of the cylinder, perpendicular to the direction of the heat flux. This ensures the same density of heat flux through the wall of the product and allows you to accurately calculate and select the optimal cylinder thickness for pipeline insulation.
