Valves are elements existing on any installation implying the circulation of gases or liquids. Their main aim is to regulate and direct the stream and flow of those element, but they show an important deficit regarding their thermal effectiveness due to, unlike pipes, valves must be approachable for their handling and to perform maintenance tasks periodically and this provokes that in most cases valves are left uncovered. Rigid insulation has some advantages such as the material cost, but at the same time it is forced to be broken and a new installation needs to be made every time the protected element is reached. Therefore, in installations where the flow of gases or liquids must be performed by maintaining certain working temperatures, valves are one of the biggest points of heat leaks, reducing the circuit efficiency. These pictures taken with a thermal camera illustrate heat leaks propitiated in valves without thermal protection.

The most efficient solution to minimize heat leaks produced in valves is the installation of textile thermal jackets (also known as textile thermal blankets). These are elements that can be adjusted to the size of each valve, they can be easily assembled and disassembled to perform maintenance task and thus, unlike rigid insulation, thermal blankets are reusable. In this picture the efficiency of this type of solution can be seen.
As technical fabric manufacturers, Texfire can offer not only a custom size confection of textile thermal jackets, but also a selection of fabrics adapting to the requirements of each installation. Being able to tailor multi-layered jackets for valves that give response to different requirements. These are some of the functions for which this type of solutions are installed:
There are several types of valves and each one of them is available in many sizes. These are some of the valves that Texfire can insulate:
In order to tailor a custom size jacket for valves, it’s needed to know the type of valve and its measurements. Also, it is important to value if the thermal insulation has to cover the valve itself only (from flange to flange) or also the entrance and exit ducts.
The use of insulation jackets for valves helps to avoid heat loss. The most direct benefits are the economical save (it raises the circuit’s efficiency) and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this type of solution brings other advantages:
When it comes to energy efficiency, every little detail matters. That's why here at Insulation & More, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive range of insulation solutions, including an innovative product that might not be on your radar yet - insulated valve jackets.
Valve jackets are essentially insulating covers designed specifically for valves. Valves are an integral part of any piping system, controlling the flow and pressure of fluids. As they are often exposed to extreme temperatures, they are susceptible to energy loss through heat transfer. This is where insulated valve jackets come in handy. They are designed to reduce this energy loss, leading to improved efficiency and cost savings.
We have a fantastic selection of valve jackets, with options suitable for a variety of applications. Whether you're after internal valve jackets for indoor use or WeatherPro external valve jackets for outdoor applications, we've got you covered.
You might be asking, why do I need insulated valve jackets? The answer is simple: efficiency and economy.
The company is the world’s best Valve Jacket Thermal Insulation supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
"Just as a winter coat keeps you warm in cold weather, insulated valve jackets reduce heat loss from your valves, saving energy and, therefore, money."
But that's not all. They also serve as an excellent safety measure. By reducing the surface temperature of valves, they help prevent accidental burns.
Now that you're aware of the benefits, how do you go about choosing the right insulated valve jacket? Well, the first step is to understand your valve specifications. This includes the type of valve, its size, and the operating temperature. For more on this, check out our blog post on pipe lagging and how to measure pipe diameter.
The next step is to choose the insulation material. One of the most popular choices is fiberglass, thanks to its excellent thermal properties and durability. If you're new to this material, our introduction to fiberglass post will provide you with a good overview.
It's also important to consider the environment in which the valve is situated. For instance, if it's an outdoor valve, you'll need a jacket that can withstand the elements. This is where our WeatherPro external valve jackets excel.
To give you a better idea of how these jackets work in practice, we have an informative blog post about insulated valve jackets that delves into the practical aspects.
But here's a brief rundown:
In conclusion, insulated valve jackets are a small investment that can lead to significant energy savings. They are easyto install, durable, and an effective way to improve the efficiency of your piping system.
So why not take a look at our range of insulation valve jackets today? With options for both internal and external applications, we're sure to have the perfect solution for your needs.
