Transport industry
Owing to its excellent thermal performance, RU-FLEX insulation is widely used in transport. Ventilation and air-conditioning systems in cars, noise insulation structures in motor vehicles, engineering systems of passenger ships with foam rubber insulation are modern solutions recognized all over the world.
Lightweight thermal insulation made of expanded rubber is optimally suited to transport applications. Increased fire performance requirements, environmental safety, up-to-date thermal conductivity values, easy application and lifetime reliability are the undisputed advantages of RU-FLEX products.
To help choose the right RU-FLEX VENT-SK insulation thickness, we have prepared ready-made solutions (basic calculations).
Problem and solution
- 01Prevention of condensation on the outside surface of the duct.
- Calculation of insulation thickness for the supply ventilation system
Calculation of insulation thickness for the supply ventilation system.
Initial data
- Heat transfer medium: air
- tо = 20 ˚С – temperature in the shopping center;
- tm = -25 ˚С – temperature of the heat transfer medium in the duct, winter time;
- ϑв = 4 м/с – velocity of the heat transfer medium;
- ϕ = 60 % — relative humidity in the shopping center.
