Selecting the insulation
Making the right choice
According to the applicable regulations,
pipes and fittings for heating
systems, service water and drinking
water in all buildings have to be
equipped with thermal insulation.
To avoid heat losses, the energy
saving decree (EnEV) prescribes
the insulation thickness for heating
and service water pipes for all heating
systems with a nominal thermal
rating of more than 4 kW.
For drinking water pipes, DIN 1988,
Part 2 indicates the corresponding
insulation thicknesses for the protection
of pipes against heating up, forming
of condensation and corrosion.
In addition to thermal insulation, the
pipe insulating layer also reduces the
radiation of structure-borne noise
from the pipework and protects
the pipes against acoustic bridges
through plaster and mortar.
The allocation of insulation thickness
according to the installation circumstances
of the pipes and the relevant
regulations is shown in the following
overview.
