Long-distance heat transmission network pipelines are a type of pipeline that transmits waste heat generated by thermal power plants and other industrial factory operations to residential communities for heating. It can help us avoid energy waste and improve energy utilization. Long-distance pipelines have a longer service life and are more difficult to maintain. After years of maintenance iterations and experience accumulation, the industry currently mainly uses soft insulation materials to wrap long-distance heat network pipelines to reduce the heat in pipeline transmission. loss while protecting the outer layer of pipes that have been exposed for long periods of time from erosion.

The need for thermal insulation materials
As a ubiquitous form of energy, thermal energy mainly exchanges energy through three methods: radiation, convection and transmission. In terms of long-distance heat transmission network pipelines, there is a temperature difference between the hot water in the pipeline and the environment outside the pipeline. At this time, the heat Affected by the temperature difference, cold and heat are exchanged through the pipe wall. The cold and heat are neutralized, and the temperature in the pipe will drop. For ultra-long-distance heat transfer pipelines, during the long-distance and long-term transmission process, the loss The total amount of wasted heat is huge.

In the long-distance heat transmission network pipelines, the heat loss problem reduces the heating efficiency, resulting in users being unable to obtain the required heat. To solve this problem, the use of thermal insulation materials has become an effective solution.

Insulation materials typically have low thermal conductivity, which significantly reduces the rate at which heat is transferred through the material. Wrapping a layer of high-performance insulation material on the outside of the pipe can effectively reduce the heat in the pipe from being lost through the pipe wall and prevent the heat energy of the hot water from being taken away by the environment. This wrap forms an insulating layer that effectively maintains the temperature inside the pipe, ensuring users receive adequate heat.

Types of Insulation Materials and Their Advantages

There are many types of insulation materials on the market today. Although traditional thermal insulation materials, such as rock wool, glass wool and silicate products, have certain effects in thermal insulation, their lack of waterproof performance is a significant drawback. When these materials encounter moisture, their internal fiber structures are prone to absorbing water, resulting in a sharp decline in thermal insulation performance or even complete failure.

In contrast, XCGS's aluminum foil double-bubble insulation material effectively makes up for the shortcomings of traditional materials and has many advantages:

1.Efficient thermal insulation

XCGS aluminum foil double-bubble insulation material adopts a composite sandwich structure design. The inner and outer layers are made of aluminum foil multi-layer composite materials, and the middle layer is made of multi-layer PE polyethylene airbag bubbles.

· Outer layer of pure aluminum film: Aluminum foil is used as the outer layer, using its high reflectivity characteristics to reflect most of the heat radiation back and reduce heat absorption.

·Multi-layer PE airbags in the middle: These airbags not only reduce the overall weight of the material, but also form a thermal insulation layer. When a small amount of heat penetrates the outer aluminum film, convection will form within these air bags, with hot air rising and cold air sinking, thereby slowing down the transfer of heat.

· Pure aluminum film at the bottom: The pure aluminum film is once again used at the bottom to re-reflect the trace amount of heat that penetrates the middle layer, further improving the heat insulation effect and ensuring that it is difficult for heat to penetrate the entire heat insulation layer.

2.Waterproof and moisture-proof

Aluminum foil double bubble insulation material has good waterproof performance due to its unique material composition and structural design. Even in a humid environment, the inside of the material can remain dry, avoiding the impact of moisture on the thermal insulation performance and ensuring a stable thermal insulation effect.

3.Light and easy to install

Aluminum foil double-bubble insulation material weighs only 250 to 500 grams per square meter, which greatly reduces the construction burden compared with traditional materials. Construction workers can carry, cut and install more easily, improving work efficiency.

The overall material is lint-free, non-toxic and odorless, and is harmless to the health of construction workers, reducing potential safety hazards during the construction process.

4.Authoritative certification

· XCGS insulation material obtained domestic invention patent in 2009

· Passed the highest level fire performance test by the Australian authoritative organization AWTA in 2013
