Effective insulation of external heat pumps: Molded PUR pipe insulation ensures an optimal solution

When it comes to pipe insulation for outdoor heat pumps, precise temperature conditions and material properties play a crucial role in efficiency. Instead of using spray foam directly on outdoor pipes – a process that can be challenging in fluctuating temperatures – the UV-protected and coated molded pipe shell is a much more durable and stable solution.

Robust coating

Molded polyurethane foam pipe insulation is specifically designed for outdoor use. The cups come with a robust UV-protective coating that protects against degradation from the sun's rays while maintaining stable insulation performance in all weather conditions.

Advantages of this solution include optimal insulation performance, as the PUR material has a very low thermal conductivity, which effectively reduces heat loss. The combination with molding ensures a tight fit around pipes and wires, which further improves the insulation effect.

Outdoor installations

The outer coating makes the pipe shell UV-resistant and durable. The coating protects the pipe shell from sunlight and prevents the insulation from degrading over time, which is especially important in outdoor installations where the material is exposed to weather factors.

Pre-molded pipe cups are easy to install as they are pre-cut and adapted to standard pipe sizes. This makes installation both quick and simple, while minimizing the risk of errors.

Close monitoring

Another advantage of this solution is that it ensures consistent insulation in all conditions. Unlike spray insulation, which requires close monitoring of temperature and humidity, the tube trays provide reliable and consistent results, even in difficult outdoor conditions.

By using molded and UV-coated PUR pipe shells from Dan-iso, you achieve effective and durable insulation of your heat pump's outdoor pipes. This solution eliminates challenges associated with temperature requirements for spray foam and ensures uniform insulation, improving the system's energy efficiency.

For homeowners and professionals looking for a professional and reliable solution, molded pipe bowls are an investment that benefits both the environment and the wallet in the long term.

Effective pipe insulation for heat pumps for minimum heat loss

Generally speaking, it is not necessary to insulate the entire heat pump, but there are certain components that may benefit from insulation.

Pipes and pipe connections:

It is important to insulate the pipes that transport the refrigerant and possibly water, especially if these are exposed to low temperatures. Insulating the pipes prevents heat loss and ensures that the heat pump works efficiently.

Compressor:

The compressor in an outdoor heat pump can generate a lot of heat and should have appropriate insulation to ensure that the heat pump does not lose too much heat to the surroundings.

Frost protection:

During the winter months it is important to protect certain parts of the heat pump that may be exposed to frost damage. Proper pipe insulation can help maintain efficient operation even at low temperatures.

In general, it is always a good idea to follow the heat pump manufacturer's instructions on pipe insulation to maximize the heat pump's efficiency and extend its lifespan.

The installation process for PUR pipe bowls

1. Preparation:
• Make sure the pipes are clean and dry before installation.
• Avoid areas with blockages so that the bowls can be positioned correctly.

2. Placement of pipe bowls:
• The bowls are opened and placed tightly around the tube.
• Ensure that all joints are aligned correctly to minimize heat loss.

3. Fastening and sealing:
• Use weatherproof tape or mounting tape to seal the joints.
• Any open areas are sealed with PUR glue or weather-resistant sealant.
