Why Insulate Valves?

According to insulation.org, &#;Steam valves should be insulated. Insulating them conserves energy and also provides personnel safety protection. Since valves require periodic maintenance, the form of insulation used on valves should be easily removable and replaceable. Many manufacturers provide custom-made insulation jackets that fit their valves. These are usually very snug fitting without voids and are very efficient.&#;

The True Cost Of A Single Uninsulated Valve

When you walk through a facility that uses steam, it&#;s very common to see an uninsulated valve. Usually, this is because the client didn&#;t want to pay an insulator to install an insulation cover on a single valve. Most facilities don't understand how much energy that uninsulated steam valve is losing each year. Each uninsulated steam valve is losing hundreds of dollars per year! The table below shows how many BTU&#;s per hour a standard gate valve loses:

One 6&#; gate valve is losing $508.00 per year! 

Annual Fuel Savings = 5,800 Btu/hr Χ 8,760 hr/yr ÷ (0.80 efficiency) = 63.51 MMBtu

The Insulating Power of Valve Jackets: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to energy efficiency, every little detail matters. That's why here at Insulation & More, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive range of insulation solutions, including an innovative product that might not be on your radar yet - insulated valve jackets.

What Are Insulated Valve Jackets?

Valve jackets are essentially insulating covers designed specifically for valves. Valves are an integral part of any piping system, controlling the flow and pressure of fluids. As they are often exposed to extreme temperatures, they are susceptible to energy loss through heat transfer. This is where insulated valve jackets come in handy. They are designed to reduce this energy loss, leading to improved efficiency and cost savings.

We have a fantastic selection of valve jackets, with options suitable for a variety of applications. Whether you're after internal valve jackets for indoor use or WeatherPro external valve jackets for outdoor applications, we've got you covered.

Why Insulated Valve Jackets?

You might be asking, why do I need insulated valve jackets? The answer is simple: efficiency and economy.

"Just as a winter coat keeps you warm in cold weather, insulated valve jackets reduce heat loss from your valves, saving energy and, therefore, money."

But that's not all. They also serve as an excellent safety measure. By reducing the surface temperature of valves, they help prevent accidental burns.

Choosing the Right Insulated Valve Jacket

Now that you're aware of the benefits, how do you go about choosing the right insulated valve jacket? Well, the first step is to understand your valve specifications. This includes the type of valve, its size, and the operating temperature. For more on this, check out our blog post on pipe lagging and how to measure pipe diameter.

The next step is to choose the insulation material. One of the most popular choices is fiberglass, thanks to its excellent thermal properties and durability. If you're new to this material, our introduction to fiberglass post will provide you with a good overview.

It's also important to consider the environment in which the valve is situated. For instance, if it's an outdoor valve, you'll need a jacket that can withstand the elements. This is where our WeatherPro external valve jackets excel.

Insulated Valve Jackets in Practice

To give you a better idea of how these jackets work in practice, we have an informative blog post about insulated valve jackets that delves into the practical aspects.

But here's a brief rundown:

  1. First, the valve is measured to ensure the jacket will fit correctly.
  2. The jacket is then placed over the valve and secured with built-in fasteners.
  3. Once installed, the jacket provides continuous insulation, reducing heat loss and improving safety.

Conclusion

In conclusion, insulated valve jackets are a small investment that can lead to significant energy savings. They are easyto install, durable, and an effective way to improve the efficiency of your piping system.

So why not take a look at our range of insulation valve jackets today? With options for both internal and external applications, we're sure to have the perfect solution for your needs.

Remember, every little detail counts when it comes to energy efficiency. Don't overlook the small components like valves - make sure they're well-insulated with quality valve jackets from Insulation & More.
