Whether in supermarket freezer cabinets or temperature-controlled industrial processes, refrigeration systems play an important role in many commercial applications. When low surface temperatures come into contact with warmer ambient air, condensation can form on insufficiently insulated pipes and components. The resulting moisture increases the risk of corrosion and may contribute to mould growth.
NMC elastomeric foam insulation materials are characterised by high water vapour diffusion resistance and low thermal conductivity. Professionally installed insulation can help reduce condensation formation and limit the associated effects of moisture on pipes and system components.
In addition, by reducing heat transfer, insulation can contribute to reducing energy losses within the system.
