Industrial Refrigeration Insulation

Thermal stability and energy loss control

Protect your refrigeration systems from heat loss and condensation

Refrigeration insulation is essential to ensure the energy efficiency of installations operating at low or very low temperatures. It prevents condensation, limits cold loss and guarantees optimum thermal stability for industrial equipment.

ELIT works on all types of refrigeration systems, from cold rooms to cryogenic piping, using insulation materials that can withstand temperatures as low as -196°C. In addition to improved thermal preservation, refrigeration insulation helps to extend the service life of installations and make high-risk areas safer.

Why insulate your refrigeration systems?

Good refrigeration insulation allows you to :

  • Prevent condensation.
  • Maintain constant temperatures in cold rooms, tanks, piping or specific equipment
  • Reduce energy losses by minimizing heat exchange with the environment
  • Limit frost formation, which can block equipment or impair performance
  • Securing facilities and complying with health and safety standards in sensitive environments

Our techniques and materials for refrigeration insulation

ELIT offers solutions tailored to the temperature, humidity and configuration constraints of the equipment to be insulated.

  • Materials used

    • Extruded polystyrene foam (styrofoam) : -65°C - +80°C
    • Foamed glass (foamglas) : -265°C - +430°C
    • Polyisocyanurate/polyurethane foam (PIR/PUR): -180°C - +120°C
    • Elastomeric foam rubber: -50°C - +150°C flexible, ideal for small pipes or moving installations
    • Phenolic foam: -180°C - +120°C high-performance rigid insulation for cryogenic fluid networks
    • AÉROGEL-type flexible sheets for cold applications: -270°C - +125°C

    Laying techniques

    • Multi-layer installation with reinforced vapour barrier
