Cold Chain and Industrial Refrigeration Processes: The Importance of Thermal Insulation in Closing the Performance Gap
This paper examines the role of thermal insulation in limiting heat gain, controlling surface condensation and ice formation, protecting pipework from moisture-related deterioration and corrosion under insulation (CUI), and supporting reliable refrigeration performance. It considers the interaction between refrigerant circuit temperatures, pipe materials, insulation products, vapour-control layers, supports, cladding and workmanship, with particular emphasis on sub-zero pipework. The paper also addresses design calculations, fire performance, installation interfaces, installer competence, inspection and maintenance.
