How does water pipe insulation work?
pipe insulation have very low value of thermal conductivity. this is because of the air pockets or pores present in insulation or bad heat conducting elements such as glass...Most decent pipe insulation works by wrapping the pipe inside a mass of tiny air bubbles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Air is the insulation in almost all the available insulation's. It is important that the bubbles are very tiny as bubbles over 16mm will start a convection current that will transfer the heat across the cell. The problem with insulation is, it only slows the transfer of heat. Given time all the heat in a pipe will transfer through the insulation and the pipe will freeze. It is important that all exposed pipes and any pipes that are below freezing for some time are fitted with electrical ribbon heating to maintain their temperature above freezing.
