Application characteristics of rubber and plastic insulation pipes in chilled water systems
2025-11-29       Source:

In modern central air conditioning and industrial chilled water piping systems, rubber and plastic insulation pipes are a widely used type of insulation material. Due to the low temperature of chilled water, condensation easily occurs on the pipe surface; therefore, selecting insulation materials with good moisture-proof properties is crucial. Rubber and plastic insulation pipes, with their closed-cell structure, effectively block water vapor penetration and reduce condensation on the pipe surface.


Rubber and plastic insulation pipes not only have a low thermal conductivity but also possess high flexibility and are easy to install. They can be easily wrapped around pipes of different diameters and orientations, reducing construction difficulty and improving project efficiency. Furthermore, rubber and plastic materials themselves are not prone to aging and exhibit good long-term stability in chilled water environments.


During installation, it is essential to ensure a tight seal at the joints to prevent water vapor infiltration from affecting the insulation effect. By selecting rubber and plastic insulation pipes of appropriate thickness, the energy efficiency of the chilled water system can be effectively improved, thereby helping buildings reduce overall operating costs.
