Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.
Heat flow is an inevitable consequence of contact between objects of differing temperature. Thermal insulation provides a region of insulation in which thermal conduction is reduced or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the lower-temperature body.
Phenolic Foam Thermal Insulation
Such an adaptive method of thermal insulation in construction is invaluable, with properties that allow for moisture resistance, strength, fire protection, high thermal insulation capabilities and a low environmental footprint – phenolic foam insulation provided by Altrad NSG Limited really does provide a versatile and effective insulation system. Phenolic Foam is suitable across all sectors, from offices and warehouses to petrochemical engineering sites, nuclear plants, off-shore oil refineries and much, much more.
Glass Fibre & Mineral Wool Thermal Insulation
We can provide Glass Fibre & Mineral Wool to insulate and protect pipework, tubes and bends as well as flat surfaces. Such insulation makes for excellent thermal heat values and will also absorb sound very well.
Glass Fibre & Mineral Wool Thermal Insulation makes for effective fire protection; while not completely immune the structure and chemical properties of the product makes for a good solution where passive fire protection is required.
Rodents and the likes will avoid nesting in such environments, to finish the insulation off where it would be exposed we are capable of installing various finishes and cladding to complete the thermal insulation system in place
Our thermal insulation structures can be finished in H&V Bright Class ‘O’ – an aluminium foil face or a H&V White Class ‘O’ finished in a white aluminium foil face.
Aluminum /Stainsteeless Cladding
Our thermal insulation services are capable of cladding with the relevant material to the job in hand, we can offer metal cladding for sites that require robust thermal insulation, Isogenopak Cladding and Polyisobutylene and Duct Wrap can also be applied depending on the specific requirements of the nature of the environment, and our clients needs.
PAkLINK Services has been established since 2004, and provides high-quality thermal insulation for piping and tanks, vessels.and trace heating services for manufacturing, storage and other industrial facilities covering thermal and cryogenic insulation of process pipework, vessels and bulk storage tanks. We also serve the commercial HVAC market, covering thermal and acoustic insulation of pipework, ductwork and equipment.
Thermal Insulation
We can provide specifications that offer economic thicknesses and finishes, as well as systems tailored to specific conditions, including:
- Trace heating – this provides a source of heat or a guaranteed anti-frost insulation system
- Removable insulated jackets – these jackets are suitable for all types of inline equipment
- Acoustic insulation – this type of insulation is applied to provide a sound barrier between a noise-generating surface and the surrounding area.
Benefits of Using Right Type of Insulation
- Saving energy and lowering fuel consumption
- Reducing CO2 emissions
- Reducing costs
- Protecting personnel
- Improving safety on the premises
- Protecting facilities against corrosion
- Reducing risk of freezing
- Reducing noise
Sheet metal Services
We have fully-equipped sheet metal workshops that can manufacture and form virtually any shape required, from flange and valve boxes, to vessel cones and domes.
We fabricate and supply all key metals used in the insulation industry, including aluminium, aluzinc, plastisol, as well as galvanised and stainless steel. By constructing our sheet metal in-house, we save you time and money, while ensuring a quality product that meets the highest standards.
We also have sufficient machinery to provide us with the capability to set up on-site workshops on our larger projects throughout the Middle East-Asia/AFRICA/ASIA.
- Avoids access problems – removable flexible jackets can provide a bespoke tailored solution for individual situations, e.g. restricted space areas
- Saving you money – fitting costs and materials used in removable flexible jackets are generally more cost-effective than metal boxes
- Space saving – when required on-site, removable flexible jackets provide the storage benefit of taking up significantly less volume and space, compared with rigid metal boxes; this offers a saving on expensive site costs
Thermal insulation services
We are specialists in the design, supply and installation of numerous insulation and cladding systems, suitable for various markets and environments, including:
- Power generation plants – this necessitates high-temperature thermal insulation in order to conserve heat
- Gas storage tanks and plants – this requires cryogenic and low-temperature thermal insulation to prevent heat gain and condensation
- Oil and chemical bulk storage tanks – special expertise is required for insulating large tanks, and CIS is second to none in this field, with the ability to supply and install the whole range of specifications available
- Chilled water units – insulated to MoD specifications
- Commercial HVACs
