01

Set the assessment boundary

Separate pasteurisation, cleaning-in-place, evaporation, drying, refrigeration and utilities for the assessed product line.

02

Collect site evidence

Milk and product throughput, temperature profiles, steam, hot water, refrigeration electricity, cleaning cycles, operating hours and product recovery.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Record the decision

Confirm hygienic design, cleanability and production scheduling. Test heat recovery against simultaneous source and sink duties.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Review steam, condensate and hot-water equipment, including heat exchangers, pumps, valves and removable covers subject to washdown.

05

Use the technical source

US Department of Energy: Steam Systems
