Insulation of cold pipes
Insulation of cold pipes
(OP)
Hi
We currently pump a slurry from a tank at 3 degC through a bank of tubular filters. Product returns to the feed tank, which has glycol on the tank jacket. Product increases in temp over time despite this cooling. Recently the bank of filters was insulated - the idea being that this would reduce the rate of increase in temp, which is undesirable. The lagging was intended to reduce heat pick up from the air Lagging seems to have made things worse. The temperature now rises more quickly. Is this possible? Any ideas?
