Can anyone give me some advice on approximate heatrate improvement or efficiency improvement that can be gained by lagging an LP Heater to shield it from heat transfer to the condensing steam in the condenser hood?
 
Hard to say it, and it varies from size, steam P/T, reheating stages, and many others.
