Selecting the appropriate insulation material involves considering several factors:
Operating Temperature: The insulation material must be able to withstand the maximum operating temperature of the catalytic process. Thermal Conductivity: Lower thermal conductivity values are preferable for better insulation efficiency. Chemical Compatibility: The material should be chemically inert and should not react with the reactants or products involved in the catalytic process. Mechanical Properties: The material should have sufficient mechanical strength to withstand operational stresses. Cost: Economic feasibility is also a critical factor in selecting the right insulation material.
