Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized thermal insulation jacket designed for automated chemical drum heating and temperature control systems. This component wraps around chemical drums to provide uniform thermal insulation, minimize heat dissipation, and maintain consistent process temperatures during chemical reactions, storage, or transportation. It features multi-layer construction with high-temperature resistant materials and integrated temperature monitoring capabilities.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of thermal resistance and heat retention through multi-layer insulation materials that create air gaps and reflective barriers. The jacket reduces convective, conductive, and radiative heat transfer between the heated chemical drum and the external environment, maintaining stable internal temperatures while preventing energy loss.
Materials
Outer layer: Silicone-coated fiberglass fabric (continuous service temperature: -70°C to +260°C). Middle insulation: Ceramic fiber blanket (thermal conductivity: 0.03 W/m·K at 200°C). Inner layer: Aluminum foil laminated fiberglass (reflectivity >95%). Fasteners: Stainless steel 304 buckles and straps. Optional heating elements: Mineral insulated (MI) cables with nickel-chromium alloy conductors.
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 2-8 kg depending on size
  • IP Rating IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
  • Thickness 25-50 mm
  • Response Time <15 minutes to reach target temperature
  • Temperature Range -70°C to +260°C
  • Drum Compatibility Standard 55-gallon (208L) to 330-gallon (1250L)
  • Heat Loss Reduction >85% compared to uninsulated drums
  • Thermal Conductivity 0.03-0.05 W/m·K
Standards
ISO 12241, ISO 6946, DIN 4108, ASTM C177
