| Check | Removable insulation | Industrial heat pumps |
|---|---|---|
| System change | Reduce heat transfer from exposed valves, flanges, fittings and equipment while retaining maintenance access. | Raise the temperature of a lower-grade heat source so that it can supply a useful process duty. |
| Evidence required | Surface inventory, external geometry, temperature, ambient conditions, operating hours, insulation construction and coverage boundary. | Source and sink profiles, temperatures, simultaneous hours, refrigerant, seasonal performance, electricity supply and backup duty. |
| Principal constraint | An omitted hot surface, inaccessible joint or unsuitable construction changes the result and the maintenance outcome. | A nominal coefficient of performance does not replace a design-point and annual operating assessment. |

Read Removable insulation · Read Industrial heat pumps
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.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
