Armaflex Solutions High Temperatureand Solar Installations
High Temperature, Solar installations
2
• limit heat losses (energy saving)
• protect from hot surfaces
• protect from weather conditions
Insulation main target:
In high temperature applications Armacell EPDM materials can be used as insulation
3
The target is to limit heat losses Insulation with low heat conductivity factor λ
are required. High temperature resistant material is required For outdoor installation UV protection is a must
Why ?
Heat Losses

Thermal conductivity λ

Thermal conductivity is a material property representing the ability of the material to conduct heat.
The thermal conductivity is the heat in joules which, per unit of time , flows through 1 m² of a 1 m thick flat layer of a substance (heat flow density) when the temperature difference is 1 K.
λ [W/mK]
Some examples of thermal conductivity values6
[W/(mK)]• 0,024 air• 0,036 Armaflex• 0,20 wood• 0,40 plastic• 0,55 water• 0,84 concrete

Thermal conductivity is a material parameter, it does not depend on thickness or volume.
Heat loss from a pipe kl [W/mK] 7
The lower λ the lower heat losses
λ
Heat loss from a pipe8
The bigger insulation thickness
The lower heat losses
