4-3. Insulating the Pipe, the Branch Pipe and the Header
1) Insulating the pipe
(1) To block off external air, insulate the pipe with insulation material.
(2) Insert the insulation material into the pipe and use a special EPDM glue to finish it.
The thermal insulation materials which are used must be well able to
withstand the heat from the pipes.
Example :
Heat pump type: Heat resistant polyethylene foam (heat resistance of at
least 120°C)
Cooling only: Polyethylene foam (heat resistance of 100°C or more)
of Thermal
Insulation
The insulation of jointed areas such as the soldered, flared or flanged
sections should only be carried out after the successful completion of the
air tight test.
Attention should be paid to the unit model and its operating conditions
since there are occasions when the gas and liquid pipes also need to be
thermally insulated.

Example of correct work
should not be insulated
together
Jointed areas must also be
thoroughly insulated
▶ Important points
Insulation of gas pipe only
Insulation of both gas and
liquid pipe only
Insulation of support brackets
