Energy surveys are a path toward addressing uninsulated components that can radiate heat energy, waste resources and reduce overall efficiency of a system. Insulating these exposed pieces helps preserve that energy, maximizing retention of heat to achieve peak...
To run at maximum efficiency and avoid loss of heat energy, steam systems require properly tested and designed insulation like the kind in place at Baxter Medical Center and Miramichi Regional Hospital. But when facility and maintenance managers need to inspect or...
Made to protect equipment like actuators and valves from dangerously high temperatures, Shannon’s UL 1709-tested Rapid Rise Fire Blankets block and retard flames. Along with testing its products, Shannon designs every blanket according to a set of standards. For its...
Quality, reusable hydrophobic insulation blankets are beneficial for many industries, whether for keeping workers safe or helping to protect equipment. When constructed correctly and with the safest materials, the benefits of using hydrophobic insulation blankets...
The one-two punch of energy surveys and thermographic imaging mark the starting point for determining what kind of insulation design best suits a client. Through the energy surveys, a sales person determines not only the geometry of the system but also the...
For 30 years, many Texas power plants ignored warnings to weatherize generation equipment using solutions like heat trace wiring kits and heat tracing insulation. Some, like Garland Power & Light and Bryan Texas Utilities, saw past failures and shifting climate...
Designed with the Earth in mind, the Shannon Safety Spray Shield mitigates the effect of an industrial liquid spill. Shannon’s custom-designed safety shield – most commonly used in the oil industry – not only helps prevent leaks from spreading but also withstands the...
If you’re looking for a way to reduce chiller noise, or noise energy in general, a properly fitted acoustic blanket is one solution. For example, the State University of New York at Oneonta covered two compressors on a Trane Model RTAA Rotary Liquid Chiller with...
Just as thermal insulation keeps in heat, acoustic insulation blankets keep in sound. They are critical in industries that use large, often extremely loud equipment, as OSHA reguations require noise to be under a certain decibel level to prevent hearing damage....
A typical goal when buying a Shannon product is to conserve energy with insulation, specifically where a facility manager looks to maximize efficiency or minimize waste. Reaching maximum performance with insulation design starts with an energy survey. Typically, a...
