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.
