Why do we need cold pipe insulation?

Insulation for cold piping can help to keep pipes that transport cool air and drinking water at their desired low temperature.

When these pipes travel through hot areas of a construction with little or no protection, the contents inside can soon warm up. This is especially true during intense periods of warm weather or in the hottest climates, when they are needed the most. Such temperature increases impair their effectiveness.

By installing effective insulation, less money needs to be spent powering air conditioning, cold water and ventilation in a building, in order to cool down its occupants.

It also helps minimise the carbon footprint of a construction, creating an environmentally friendly way of maintaining a healthy indoor climate.

Calculator and savings

Adding effective insulation around cold pipes can result in significant energy savings – potentially up to and over 50 percent This is because it acts to lower the amount needed to cool businesses, properties and operations, providing a cost-effective way to cut carbon emissions caused by excess cooling2.

To work out the amount and thickness of cold pipe insulation products you will need, we can consult with you to learn what your operation requires.

Our team will look at the operating temperature of the unit it’s being installed around, medium temperatures of the piping and the conditions and temperatures that the pipes operate in.

Use our ROCKWOOL U-value calculator to determine the thermal performance of the building’s walls/roofs, and possible cost savings. For more details on technical specifications, visit our ROCKSPEC Specification Toolkit.
