Technical Insulation

Technical Insulation consists of specially developed insulation products for use in Heating Ventilation & Air-conditioning (HVAC) applications and industrial processes used in power stations, petrochemical plants, refineries, food and drink production facilities. These applications require a winning combination of thermal, acoustic and fire protection insulation.

Knauf Insulation high-tech glass mineral wool and rock mineral wool fits your requirements with a high degree of flexibility. Our high-performance insulation products offer the opportunity to gain process control as well as energy loss reduction, fire protection and acoustic sound reduction.

At Knauf Insulation, we provide a wide range of HVAC products for the mechanical engineer and contractor.

The choice of solution also depends on the building type, the function of the HVAC equipment, and the particular benefits required of the insulation:

	Heat Conservation Minimising heat transfer from pipes and ducts to the surrounding environment.		Safety Protecting people against injury from contact with pipes and ducts, and the HVAC equipment itself from damage.
	Fire Protection Preventing fire risk from the contents of services, and protecting HVAC equipment from external fire damage.		Acoustic Reduction Minimising disturbance to building users from noise transmitted along pipes and ducts.
	Frost Protection Preventing the freezing of liquid passing through pipes.		Condensation Protection Minimising condensation build-up and corrosion risk to pipes and ducts

Industrial Process facilities such as power stations, petrochemical plants, refineries and food and drink factories will have to make a significant investment in process equipment to ensure consistent results. This equipment must therefore be designed to ensure controllable, efficient and safe operation.

Insulation will play a vital role in the design consideration of this equipment to provide thermal, acoustic, fire protection and other safety benefits.
