THERMAL INSULATION OF CRYOGENIC EQUIPMENT WITH SWOLLEN SYNTHETIC RUBBERS: THE FEATURES OF CALCULATION AND MANUFACTURING

Abstract

Thermal insulating of cryogenic equipment is an important stage of its manufacturing. In the course of designing and manufacturing of the equipment little attention is given to the procedure of thermal insulating. At the same time thermal insulating has a number of the features that cannot be ignored because it can subsequently lead to frosting of the equipment, and, as a consequence to corrosion, high loss of cold and to heightened evaporation of cryogen product, and others. The issue of choice of programs for calculation of the cryogenic equipment insulation systems parameters and, first of all, cryogenic pipelines has been considered. The parameters of insulation in which during cooling does not occur cracking of the inside layers of swollen synthetic rubbers are discussed.
