The TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation is a specially developed heat insulation material for pipelines that are heated by means of an external trace heating pipe. This insulation prevents uneconomical heat loss in the area of the trace heating pipe.

The dimensioning of the economical insulation is carried out with hot-running product pipelines according to the product temperature. For pipelines with trace heating systems for heat maintenance or heating-up of the product, a higher temperature must be used as a basis in the area of the heating system. Accordingly, the usual insulation thickness is not sufficient.

This problem can be solved by reinforcing the external insulation. This, however, not only results in a considerable increase in the expenditure of the heat insulation material but often also cannot be carried out due to the lack of available space; for example, whenever several pipelines run parallel to one another and their distance between one another does not permit the installation of a considerably thicker external insulation or considerably increases the costs.

This disadvantage can be avoided by means of the TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation.

Its use considarably improves the heat insulation in the area of the trace heating pipe without having to increase the construction volume of the pipeline considerably. This is achieved due to the fact that the additional heat insulation is only limited to the area of the trace heating pipe and an insulation material with minimum thickness was selected.

The insulation elements of the TRASNCALOR - trace heating insulation are desinged so that they are highly suitable for being used to insulate trace heating systems that have been equipped using the TRANSCALOR - tracing rail method. They are also suitable for heating systems that have been equipped wiht a "simple" trace heating.

The insulating elements of the TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation each consist of an insulation unit which is pushed into an insulating support and can be moved freely inside it in longitudinal direction.

This non-rigid connection makes it easy to assemble the insulating elements on the trace heating pipe by moving these two parts against one another.

The round shape of the insulating support provides the form in which the insulating units are to place themselves around the trace heating pipe as insulation half-shells.

The insulating unit consits of three differently wide stripes of insulation material of minimum thickness which are sewn into a glass fabric in rib-shaped form.

The width of the strips is dimensioned so that a trace heating pipe can be insulated right up to the product pipe.

The insulating units have a length of 1 m.

The insulating support is a metal half-shell made with bent edges as guide carriers. It sevrves the purpose of mounting, shaping and holding the insulating unit. The insulating unit is pressed precesly against the trace heating pipe due to the half-shell shape of the insulating support.

The insulating support secures the entire trace heating insulation from sliding away during the assembly procedure.

The insulating elements of the TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation are designed so that they are highly suitable for being used to insulate trace heating systems that have been equipped using the TRANSCALOR - tracing rail method.

The advantage for the use of the TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation in connection with the tracing rail method is that the entire heating installation, consisting of tracing rail, and pipe, is insulated.

Any energy loss that may created by energy being radiated from the tracing rail is therefore prevented. The TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation therefore insulates the entire trace heating system and results in economical energy utilisation in pipe heating systems.

The combination of the TRANSCALOR - tracing rail method with the TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation guarantees optimum energy utilisation of your pipe trace heating system.

The TRANSCALOR - trace heating insulation is not only suitable for new installation of pipelines but is also ideally suited for the reconstruction of older system components. Due to the minimum overall heigh, limited space conditions are not a problem to be taken into account.

Normally the jacket of the conventionell external insulation can continue to be used in identical size. In special cases, it is even possible to push the insulating elements underneath the existing insulation and save part fo the assembly expenditure as well.
