As a specifier, you have one job: design systems that work. This can be especially difficult when it comes to designing chilled water insulation systems. That said, if you take a tactical approach, addressing both moisture drive and thermal performance in the design, you’ll be a step ahead of the game. Here are three essential strategies that can help ensure your design is successful:
- Specify the right vapor materials: To reduce moisture drive and help prevent condensation from forming on the pipe surface, make sure that the system is sealed with a properly applied vapor barrier that has a 0.02 perm-rating.
- Design your system for worst-case conditions: Ensure that the system is properly insulated for the full spectrum of operational conditions – this can help prevent system failure when the application reaches its extremes.
- Set the contractors up for success: By specifying an insulating material that is both easy to install and familiar to contractors, the likelihood that your system will be installed correctly increases significantly.
