Hi all
Coming out of my thermal store, I have a multitude of pipes.
Now, most of these I have insulated along the straight lengths, but there are
several "awkward" sections that I can't fit standard pipe insulation on, and
that are constantly radiating heat away.
For instance, near the top (ie hottest) part of the store, I have a pipe outlet
with large brass elbow that connects to a pump and mixer assembly. This whole
assembly of pipework/pump is always red hot - and must be wasting me quite a lot
of energy.
Have been looking at this Armaflex lagging tape:
http://www.pipelagging.com/pipe-insulation-lagging-tape-50mm-class-p-71.html
Assuming this is self-adhesive, I could wrap it round all the awkward bits of
pipework. It's only 3mm thick but guess I could wrap several layers round if
need be.
Does that look a suitable product, or has anyone used anything else with good
results ?
Cheers
Lee
