Product Description
Cryogel® Z has the lowest k-value of any cryogenic (cold work) insulation material in the world, reducing thicknesses by 50% - 75%. Cryogel® Z’s flexible blanket form, with a factory-applied, integral foil vapor barrier, is both faster to install and more durable once in service, resulting in lower-cost, higher-performing designs.
Cryogel® Z Applications
- Sub-ambient piping and equipment
- Cryogenic storage and transport
- Industrial gases, LNG import/export pipelines and process areas
- Chilled water systems
Service Temperature Range
-270°C (-460°F) to 90°C (195°F)
Thermal Performance
Cryogel® Z has the lowest thermal conductivity of any material used for cryogenic service. It is therefore much thinner compared to other cold insulation materials. Cryogel® Z’s minimal thickness results in a smaller surface area and reduced heat gain compared to other insulation materials. This heat gain “safety factor” improves process control, reduces boiloff, and saves energy. Also, Cryogel® Z does not have blowing agents that diffuse out over time, so its thermal performance remains constant.
Moisture and Vapor Resistance
Permeability to water and water vapor are critical to any insulation system operating at cryogenic temperatures. Cryogel® Z uses a factory-applied mylar vapor barrier to achieve a zero-perm system.
Structural Integrity
Cryogel® Z is well-suited for sub-ambient and cryogenic applications.Under these severe conditions, it remains totally flexible and resists thermal shock. This is unlike rigid, cellular insulation materials, which experience contraction, thermal shock, damaged structure, freezethaw crack propagation, and degraded insulation performance under the same conditions.
Dimensional Stability
Cryogel® Z insulation has a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of stainless steel, so there is minimal differential movement of the insulation system. Its low contraction rate and flexible wrap application eliminate the need for costly and labor intensive expansion/contraction joints required by traditional rigid insulation systems.
