The application value of aerogel insulation materials in the insulation shells of industrial equipment
2025-12-04       Source:

Industrial equipment casing insulation typically requires materials with low thermal conductivity, stable temperature resistance, and light weight to ensure stable operation. Aerogel insulation materials excel in this field due to their extremely low thermal conductivity and lightweight advantages.


The porous nanostructure of aerogel effectively blocks heat transfer, allowing it to maintain excellent insulation capabilities even with relatively thin layers. For equipment requiring controlled insulation thickness and with limited installation space, aerogel materials offer a more advantageous solution.


In industrial applications, aerogel materials are usually applied to the exterior of equipment casings in the form of flexible felts or composite panels, ensuring a tight fit to the equipment surface and minimizing heat loss from gaps. Its stable temperature resistance adapts to various industrial conditions, maintains its performance over long periods, and is not easily affected by environmental humidity.


Its lightweight properties also make aerogel insulation systems easier to install and reduce the load on equipment supports. Combining it with metal facings or composite protective layers further enhances wear resistance and service life. With the increasing demand for industrial energy-saving retrofits, aerogel will play a crucial role in more equipment insulation projects.
