    (H-EP) Expanded Perlite: Low Temperature and Cryogenic Insulation

    Uploaded by

    Kamesh Kalgi
    Expanded perlite is an economical insulation for high and low temperatures and cryogenic applications. It is widely used for insulating cold boxes, storage tanks for gases like ethylene and propylene, LNG vessels and ships, and vessels for chemicals like ammonia and chlorine. Expanded perlite has low thermal conductivity, is non-combustible, and retains low moisture.

    EXPANDED PERLITE IS AN ECONOMICAL INSULATION FOR HIGH AND LOW


    TEMPERATURE AND CRYOGENIC APPLICATIONS. IT IS WIDELY USED BECAUSE OF ITS LOW
    THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, COST, NON-COMBUSTIBILITY AND LOW MOISTURE RETENTION.
    PERLITE LOOSE FILL INSULATION PROVIDES DEPENDABLE RESULTS AT TEMPERATURES
    RANGING FROM -273 C TO +1000. IT IS WIDELY USED TO INSULATE..........

    COLD BOX OR AIR SEPARATION UNITS.

    STORAGE TANKS CONTAINING ETHYLENE & PROPYLENE.

    LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) IN STORAGE VESSELS AND SHIPS.

    VESSELS STORING ANHYDROUS AMMONIA, PROPANE, LPG AND CHLORINE.

    CRYOGENIC STORAGE VESSELS CONTAINING LIQUID OXYGEN & NITROGEN.

    LOW TEMPERATURE AND CRYOGENIC INSULATION :


    INCREASED PRODUCTION OF LIQUEFIED GASES HAVING BOILING POINTS AS LOW AS -270 C HAS
    CREATED A DEMAND FOR STORAGE FACILITIES CAPABLE OF ECONOMICALLY REDUCING
    EVAPORATION LOSSES. WHILE THE STORAGE VARY AS TO CONFIGURATION, TYPE OF
    SUPPORTS AND ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT'S, THE MAJORITY OF VESSELS ARE OF DOUBLE
    WALLED CONSTRUCTION AND THE ANNULUS IS FILLED WITH EXPANDED PERLITE.

    ATMOSPHERIC SERVICES :
    THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF EXPANDED PERLITE INSULATION UNDER ATMOSPHERIC
    PRESSURE CONDITIONS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE DENSITY, WHILE PERLITE GRADING HAS
    ONLY A MINOR EFFECT ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY. EXPANDED PERLITE WILL BREAK DOWN IF
    SUBJECTED TO EXCESSIVE HANDLING, AND THIS CRUSHING OF PARTICLES WILL RESULT IN
    INCREASE IN DENSITY AND A HIGHER THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY.

    EVACUATED SERVICES :
    TM

    EXPANDED PERLITE IS ESSENTIALLY NON-HYGROSCOPIC IN NATURE, WHICH


    MAKES IT SUITABLE FOR USE UNDER VACCUM CONDITIONS. HERE THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
    PHENOMENON IS THE REVERSE i.e. HIGHER THE DENSITY LOWER IS THE THERMAL
    CONDUCTIVITY UNDER VACCUM CONDITIONS AT LOW PRESSURES.
