B. Removable/Reusable Insulation is modular – made up in
convenient size panels or sections, and can be easily be installed or
removed by your own crew – only sufficient blankets have to be
removed to enable a particular maintenance or inspection job to be
done.
After service/maintenance the blanket can be replaced without
special tools. Although slightly more expensive than permanent
insulation it becomes more and more economical every time you
remove and replace a module. These blankets are ideal for engine
manifolds, turbochargers, flexes, expansion joints, valves of all
types, flanges, and sight glasses and also any equipment that has to
be repaired/serviced in remote areas where insulation contractors
are not readily available. Measurements are taken on site, the
blankets usually made off site in a factory, and the ship’s crew can
do installation. In order to be able to replace blankets that are damaged or require to be replaced
the manufacturer usually keeps complete records of each blanket on hand.
