The heat loss depends on many factors, but the surface temperature and its size are dominant. Putting the insulation on a hot surface will reduce the external surface temperature. By insulation, the surface will increase on circular pipes or vessels, but the relative effect of temperature reduction will be much greater and heat loss will be reduced. A similar situation occurs when the surface temperature is lower than its surroundings. In both cases some energy is lost . These energy losses can be reduced by laying the practical and economical insulation on surfaces whose temperatures are quite different than the surrounding one. 2.

There are many different types of insulation materials and systems available, each having different thermal performances, handling properties, fire safety and other characteristics. The details are available from the manufacturers and in the specific technical literature. The cost of insulation differs greatly and this requires detailed attention and the careful selection of insulation materials. The mo
