What the measure changes

Use solar collectors to supply or preheat a suitable thermal duty.

Evidence required

Hourly demand, temperature, solar resource, collector performance, storage, land or roof constraints and backup system.

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

View modular insulation Prepare a heat-loss study

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

Constraints and risks

Annual resource and demand coincidence determine useful output; nameplate area alone is insufficient.

Possible applications

Sector membership does not establish feasibility. Confirm the actual process duty.

Food processing

Check the site boundary and duty.

Dairy processing

Check the site boundary and duty.

Textiles and dyeing

Check the site boundary and duty.

Brewing

Check the site boundary and duty.
