Moisture vs. Insulation: A Costly Battle
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) can be a significant risk for equipment longevity and operational costs. QCI Thermal Systems’ expertise spans the entire insulation process, from initial assessment and material selection to installation and maintenance, ensuring that each component is effectively safeguarded against moisture and corrosion. With advanced materials and cutting-edge moisture-control practices, QCI Thermal Systems tailors insulation solutions to prevent CUI, maintaining energy efficiency and extending the life of equipment.
The Role of Professional Insulation in Moisture Protection
Insulation not only helps maintain temperature stability but also acts as a shield against moisture infiltration—a primary cause of CUI. However, if insulation materials or techniques are outdated or improperly installed, they can trap moisture, leading to corrosion on metal surfaces beneath the insulation. QCI Thermal Systems applies state-of-the-art techniques and materials, such as closed-cell foam and moisture-resistant barriers, to address these vulnerabilities. By using high-quality, moisture-resistant insulation, QCI Thermal Systems protects critical components from moisture, helping facilities avoid unnecessary repairs and costly downtime.
QCI’s Comprehensive Approach to Insulation
QCI Thermal Systems begins with a thorough evaluation to assess current insulation performance and identify areas of concern. This includes checking for weak points, signs of moisture buildup, and potential CUI. Once the evaluation is complete, QCI experts select and install the most suitable moisture-resistant materials, optimizing insulation to withstand environmental conditions and prevent moisture ingress. By conducting routine inspections and maintenance, QCI ensures that each system remains efficient and resilient against CUI over time.
