Steam Traps can cause between $30 to $300.00 per year in wasted energy! Steam Traps are a dangerously hot surface! Steam Traps are problematic, but necessary! Steam Traps need to be insulated! According the U.S. Department of Energy: Effectively insulate inverted...
Acoustic blanket insulation can lower noise levels on equipment by capturing sound energy through sound reflection and absorption. The combination of sound reflection and absorption is the key to blanket insulation noise reduction. Each application is slightly...
Since the late 1970s when removable, reusable blanket insulation entered the commercial and industrial market, there’s been a positive impact for facility and sustainability managers who’ve chosen this solution. The concept of removing insulation and re-installing the...
Industrial reusable insulation can trace its origins to maritime applications as well as other industries looking to improve upon primitive products developed in the field. While crews on board ships at sea had little choice but to reuse insulation material, since...
Shannon’s truly reusable insulation blankets work toward three goals: protecting workers, reducing energy loss, and creating more comfortable work environments. While customers often seek all these solutions when purchasing a Shannon blanket system, different groups...
Before the advent of reusable insulation systems, when workers removed conventional insulation they discarded it, regardless of material. Consequently, components requiring regular inspection, service or repair for maintenance, would often remain uncovered. This was a...
With the variety of different blanket insulation systems available, getting the highest quality solution can be a challenge. For many, buying a cheaper system often looks appealing, but for several reasons, investing in a higher quality reusable blanket insulation...
For maintenance workers to install an insulation blanket that’s truly reusable, they need to look for certain attributes that allow them to remove the blanket from a valve or steam trap and easily replace it in the same position after performing repairs or service on...
The insulation industry makes use of several different materials to help protect workers from high temperatures, contain radiant energy, and maximize system efficiency. However, many of these materials, like fiberglass, Foamglas®, calcium silicate, and mineral wool,...
Overlooking opportunities to insulate energy-losing components is more about ignorance than neglect. But even one component radiating high temperatures can add up to a significant amount of lost energy when multiplied by time, which means squandered capital. How much?...
