3. Implementation and operating constraints
3.1 Constraints
An insulating system consists of many components in addition to the insulation.
You need :
protect the equipment surface and insulation from external aggression;
avoid thermal bridges and moisture infiltration;
ensure good mechanical and chemical stability.
3.2 Coatings
An insulated system needs a protective coating. This coating...
