The Effectiveness of A Generic Product Used for Insulation of ACMV Systems

Insulation is the process of keeping electricity, sound or heat from spreading and it involves insulation material to do so. If while sleeping at night you are able to heat your neighbor snoring that simply means that you require better sound insulation. Even if it’s freezing outside the hot chocolate kept in your thermos stays warm that is because your thermos provides insulation. Similarly, when it’s steaming hot outside your ice chests can still carry your sodas and ice very cool in it that is because the ice chest provides insulation. The state of being isolated or dethatched is also termed as insulation.

The material used for the purpose of insulation always protects the surrounding and prevents the transmission of heat, sound or electricity. Therefore it diminishes, reduces or completely prevents the transmission of heat, sound or electricity. Now, there is something called ACMV which means Air Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation. The ACMV systems require insulation materials to prevent the transmission of heat, sound and electricity. The kind of material that is used for the ACMV systems is of superior thermal K value, its very light and has a high level of rigidity, it’s very easy to handle and install in the systems, it’s very adaptable to any sort of installation. With these kinds of factors the installation becomes very fast and economical for the long term benefit of the product.

Pir-ALU Pre insulated ducting system is the first product in Singapore which is certified by the Green Building Council as the best pre insulated duct product. Piralu is a foam panel coated on both its sides aluminium that is lacquered embossed. The piralu panels are specially designed as a material for ACMV insulation. The big question is how does Piralu keeps the material with same temperature throughout. The answer to this will be that the vapour barrier that is created by the alluminium finish and the foam's insulating properties are such that it helps PIRALU to maintain the same levels of humidity, purity and temperature throughout the ducting, providing excellent air quality. The Piralu is a product which reflects the efficiency, good performance and the aspect of being environmental friendly.

Also there is something called Polyisocyanurate, which is also known as PIR, polyiso, or ISO, is a thermoset plastic typically produced as a foam and used as rigid thermal insulation. Polyisocyanurate Rigd Board on the other hand means that Polyiso is a closed-cell, rigid foam board insulation consisting of a foam core sandwiched between two facers. The main use of this Rigd Board is that it is widely used commercial markets and residential areas for both side walls and roof top applications. Other typical uses for PIR foams include industrial and commercial pipe insulation, and carving/machining media (competing with expanded polystyrene and rigid polyurethane foams).there are certain health hazards involved too as the PIR insulation can be a mechanical irritant to skin, eyes, and upper respiratory system during fabrication (such as dust). No statistically significant increased risks of respiratory diseases have been found in studies.
