The findings are revealing: Retro-fitting all uninsulated components of the pipe systems could reduce energy losses by more than 20%.
A single uninsulated flange can yield heat loss equivalent to between 3 and 5 m of insulated straight pipe.
Technical insulation materials made of flexible elastomeric foams (FEF) and polyethylene foams (PEF) are among the few industrial products which actually save more energy during their service life than they require for their manufacture.
