Chilled Water Pipes

Chilled water systems are often used to manage the temperature and humidity levels in large buildings. These lines carry water for air-conditioning cooling and usually operate at temperatures around 2°C (35°F). These are mainly installed within buildings such as office buildings, airports, hospitals, stadiums, campuses, etc.
Chilled water systems are demanding. Operating between -4°C and + 15°C (25°F and 59°F) for control of heat gain and condensation control, and in high humidity environments, the vapor drive can be relentless. Poor insulation material selection, incorrect installation or damage to the vapor retarding foils can leave the insulation system vulnerable to failure and result in costly problems associated with moisture and poor indoor air quality. The lack of a well-performing insulation system can interfere with limiting heat transfer and could lead to high operating and energy costs.
