Microporous Insulation
has begun to find its way into the industrial marketplace where
there are considerable gains to be found in its exceptional thermal
management abilities. In applications as small as hobby kilns to
large operations like aluminum carbon bakes, the presence of a
microporous layer in place of or within a composite lining can
save/retain as much as 30% or more of the heat energy normally lost
in linings without microporous materials. This form of conservation
translates directly to overall energy cost savings since less heat
energy loss also means that less energy is required to keep the
application at its desired temperature and conditions. Microporous
materials are also ideal for reducing the re-heat time associated
with molten metal applications, and can be used to increase the
distribution and homogeneity of heat throughout, both reducing the
risk of isolated hot spots and improving product
uniformity. | |
