Why Insulation In HVAC
Thermal savings
Effective thermal insulation of ducts and pipes, and air tightness of ducts, reduce energy losses, resulting in thermal and cost savings and helping to guarantee the appropriate thermal comfort. Thermal insulation of the duct & pipe networks can significantly modify the thermal load of a building. KIMMCO-ISOVER offers solutions to the HVAC market with higher thermal performance to help reduce energy consumption due to thermal losses.
Condensation Control
Condensation usually takes place when hot air contacts the cool surface occurs. Using KIMMCO-ISOVER insulation solution for HVAC pipes and ducts will minimize the risk of condensation. Thermal insulation is critical for Condensation. Effective thermal insulation of ducts and pipes, and air tightness of ducts avoids condensation
Fire protection
Fire safety should be a key consideration in the design of all HVAC installations as fires can endanger the life of occupants of a building. Fire resistant ducts are the best way to ensure fire safety in HVAC installations as the ducts have the ability to keep their integrity for a given time period and to not promote flame spread during a fire.
It is vital to develop safe, durable and reliable fire protection solutions for ventilation systems as a fire can easily spread from the point of origin via ductwork especially in ventilation and smoke extraction.
