heat pipe wick material
The problem
Burns and head heat burns in accidents resulting in lost work time, the average cost 5 working days lost per incident (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Publication No. 2004 -146). The economic impact for employers and employees can be overwhelming. A recent study conducted in the State of Oregon has suggested that the average cost in this state of burns is U.S. $ 5,400 per event!
A major risk of burns can be found in industrial plants that use lines of steam treatment. In many typical applications of hot steam pipes are first coated with permanent retardation of hard mineral wool insulation. As the plant process or system change, the sections of insulation are removed for repair, replacement pipeline and on-line reconfiguration. The insulation around these parts is usually irreparable harm in the process. Since the replacement of these sections Small can be cost prohibitive, often not replaced creating a potential burn hazard.
A second major risk burning occurs in High temperature hoses are connected to machines or mobile. Traditional insulation technology accuse hard, being inflexible, are not capable of managing these pipes. The result is that the pipes are left uninsulated, creating a potential burn hazard to service personnel or operate the equipment adjacent.
These scenarios represent only two of thousands of situations of municipalities that have the potential for serious workplace injuries are burns.
The solution
Recent progress in protection technologies are vendors of thermal insulation materials for use closed cell foam for the silicone to create a protective film from the hot rolling production lines. Unlike traditional mineral wool, sponge adjustment system does not require a delay difficult to contain the insulation. It is very flexible and can be cut with scissors to the normal length, allowing for easy installation by maintenance personnel in house.
In many cases, the insulation jacket has a hook and loop closure order to simplify the installation on existing lines and provide access to the procedures maintenance and troubleshooting activities.
Technology
This new technology takes advantage of very low thermal conductivity and resistance high temperature silicone rubber with closed cell sponge. Unlike traditional insulation products (composed of fibrous tissue and external hard) WRAP sponge silicone rubber is easy to install without a professional contractor, so it is a cost effective technology tailored to meet a wide range of possible areas burned.
The closed nature of silicone rubber foam cells does not allow water or other liquid through the wick to medium-term isolation. This allows the equipment to function as effective outdoors when exposed to rain and other elements, as in the factory.
With a minimal investment, a plant typically can be equipped with a silicone sponge burning protection to significantly reduce the risk of injury at work. As a bonus, the United Nations protection insulated pipes will result in reduced energy costs.
