Specially Manufactured Insulation Jackets for Valves and Pumps
Energy efficiency, equipment lifespan, and operational safety in industrial facilities are directly related to proper insulation practices. Equipment requiring maintenance, such as valves and pumps, are particularly difficult to protect with fixed insulation systems. Removable insulation jackets, which come into play at this point, offer an ideal solution, both technically and economically. At EHT Engineering, we minimize energy losses in industrial facilities, streamline maintenance processes, and create sustainable solutions with custom-made valve and pump insulation jackets.
Why an Insulation Jacket?
Valves and pumps are the points in a system where heat loss is greatest. Because these equipment often have complex geometries, they cannot be fully protected with conventional insulation methods. Furthermore, fixed insulation can be damaged during maintenance and repair, rendering it unusable. Insulation jackets:
- Easy to disassemble and reassemble
- Can be used repeatedly
- Produced in equipment-specific dimensions
- Offers high temperature resistance
- Provides energy savings
- Creates time and cost advantage during maintenance
Thanks to these features, valve and pump insulation jackets have become an indispensable part of modern facilities.
EHT Engineering's Custom Manufacturing Approach
Every facility, every piece of equipment, and every process has its own unique needs. At EHT Engineering, we operate on the principle of "custom-made production." We take on-site measurements, analyze the equipment's geometry and operating conditions, and then manufacture insulation jackets using technical textiles that comply with European standards.
Main materials used in our manufacturing process:
- Silicone coated fiberglass fabric
- Aluminum coated fiberglass fabric
- Polyurethane coated technical textile
- Flame retardant sewing threads
- Stainless steel buckles and fasteners
- High temperature resistant insulation mats (rock wool, glass wool, ceramic wool)
Thanks to these materials, our jackets can be used successfully between -50°C and +1200°C.
Application Areas
EHT Engineering's custom-made insulation jackets are used in a wide variety of sectors:
- Steam installations
- Hot oil lines
- Cooling systems
- Chemical process lines
- Ship and boiler rooms
- Food and pharmaceutical production facilities
- Power plants
- Refineries and petrochemical plants
We provide maximum efficiency in both hot and cold lines by producing specially designed jackets for equipment such as valves, strainers, check valves, compensators, pumps and heat exchangers3.
Heat Control and Energy Savings
İzolasyon ceketlerinin en büyük avantajlarından biri enerji tasarrufudur. Özellikle buhar hatlarında yapılan ölçümler, vana ve pompa noktalarında %30’a varan ısı kaybı yaşandığını göstermektedir. EHT Mühendislik’in izolasyon ceketleri bu kaybı %90’a kadar azaltır.
It extends the life of the equipment by eliminating the problem of sweating (condensation) in cold lines. This way:
- Less energy is consumed
- Less maintenance is required
- Less carbon emissions occur
- Provides longer equipment life
Energy efficiency not only means cost advantages but also environmental sustainability.
Intelligent Design Details
EHT Engineering insulation jackets not only provide insulation but also offer ease of use:
- The jackets are modular and can be disassembled piece by piece.
- The fastening systems are made of stainless steel and are long-lasting.
- Sewing threads are flame retardant
- Outer layers are waterproof and airtight
- Jackets can be easily applied to narrow spaces
- Products can be disassembled and assembled many times and will not be damaged during maintenance.
These features save time and labor in business processes.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Temperature Resistance | -50°C to +1200°C |
| Material | Glass fiber, rock wool, ceramic wool, silicone |
| Outer Layer | Water and airtight technical textiles |
| Connection System | Stainless steel buckle and rope system |
| Lifespan | 5–10 years (depending on maintenance conditions) |
| Application Period | Approximately 15–30 minutes (per equipment) |
This technical structure ensures that the jackets are both durable and user-friendly.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Insulation jackets are much easier to clean than traditional insulation systems. The outer surfaces are moisture-repellent and chemical-resistant. During maintenance:
- The jacket is easy to remove
- Equipment check is performed
- The jacket is put back on
This process does not require disassembly and reassembly as in classical insulations, and provides time and cost advantages.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
At EHT Engineering, we design our insulation solutions with an environmentally friendly approach. Thanks to energy efficiency, we:
- Less fossil fuel is consumed
- Less carbon emissions occur
- The impact of global warming is reduced
- Greenhouse gas emissions decrease
We also minimize the environmental burden by using recyclable materials.
