Cryogenic storage systems and cold boxes / ducts require expanded perlite insulation for optimal performance yet degradation and settling processes reduce their effectiveness.
The following indicators will help you determine when your cryogenic perlite requires a top-up:
- The insulation system fails to perform when temperature readings increase and heat leaks occur.
- Frost/Ice buildup – Cold spots signal missing or compacted insulation.
- The system requires more refrigeration cycles because of increased energy consumption.
- Your system is working harder than it should.
The rate of boil-off increases when more product evaporates because insulation becomes less efficient.
Low insulation levels require immediate attention because they result in higher costs and safety risks and regulatory problems. A proactive top-up approach will keep you ahead.
