2. China Wave Industires Ltd, Energy and Water Authority Managing Directors Statement on Thermal Insulation
The nature of the environment, high temperature and the need to
use air-conditioning results in high consumption of electricity.
The thermal insulation system will reduce the consumption of
electricity in air-conditioning by 40%, which will benefit
customers, proprietors and the general public.

5. A brief history of Phenolic foam Insul-phen is a rigid phenolic insulation.
Phenolic was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrick Baekeland, who is regarded as the father of todays plastics industry.
100 Year anniversary of phenolic in 2007
He developed Bakelite - the worlds first synthetic plastic.
In the decades that followed, Bakelite was widely used for many everyday objects
6. Phenolic insulation has been used successfully worldwide 25 years. The standard specification in UK and Hong Kong.
Used extensively in USA, UAE, Singapore.
Many prestigious projects around the world.
In Commercial, civic, and government installations

11. Critical issues to consider when specifying insulation for chilled water in Hong kong Fire & smoke safety - personnel evacuation
Environmentally safe
Energy efficiency/thermal performance
Closed cell structure - resists moisture ingress in hot & humid climates
12. Fire & Smoke Risks
In high occupancy buildings people must have clear
sight of exit signs to be able to escape.
Inhalation of toxic fumes will kill more people than the fire itself
Therefore, materials with low smoke and toxic gas emission should always be used.

16. Fire test
17. Insul-phen Achieves All The Following Fire Standards Class O to UK building regulations (BS 476 parts 6&7)
ASTM E84 25/50 flame spread/smoke emission up to 3 inches thick
ULC of Canada S102 and S127 listed
M1, France
B1, Germany
TNO Class 1, The Netherlands
18. Summary Of all the insulation materials suitable for use in
Hong Kong
19. Moisture & Water Vapour Penetration In hot and humid climates, chilled water insulation must be
closed-cell to avoid moisture and water vapour penetration
problems.
These problems lead to loss of insulation, dripping, building
fabric damage, mould growth, corrosion and costs. In German, there is 85 miljard euro claims of corrosion, by using armacel or wool

21. If pipework is insulated with an open cell structure material, such as fiberglass, the material will become saturated with water.
The water will then start to drip from the material.

22. Humidity and Condensation This results in problems . . .
Growth of fungi.
Dripping.
Significant heat gain.
Corrosion.
System malfunction.

24. Summary Insul-phen has the closed-cell structure that is
necessary to give vital protection in Dubais hot
and humid climate.

28. Humidity and Condensation At very thin insulation thicknesses, emissivity has an enormous influence on surface temperature.
At standard thicknesses, the surface temperature is dictated by the insulation value of the insulation material. Emissivity plays only a minor role
29. Insulation Value / Energy Saving Insulation materials with high thermal efficiency
reduce heat gain and therefore save energy costs
helping to reduce Dubais energy consumption.
30. Design Conditions Hong Kong
33. Environmentally Friendly The Montreal and Kyoto Protocols state that any foam insulation material must be 100% CFC and HCFC free.
Some insulation materials still contain HCFCs which can attack the ozone layer.
Thermally efficient insulation materials will reduce
CO2 emissions which contribute to global warming.
Insul-phen phenolic insulation is produced with a zero ODP blowing agent.
34. Summary Insul-phen outperforms all other insulation materials,
offering significant savings on costs and energy consumption
35. Summary
36. Insul-phen is Available NOW in China With Local Support Resolco manufacture Insul-phen as rigid blocks in Oosterhout in the Netherlands.
The product is exported to a network of international fabricators who cut the blocks into pipe sections and apply foil vapour barrier facing locally.
Insul-phen is fabricated and available in China
Standard density - 40kg/m3.Also available in 60,80 and 120 kg for load bearing i.e. pipe supports.
Resolco will provide local technical/specification support, including literature.
Resolco will offer specification re-write service
37. Conclusion Insulation of chilled water in air conditioning systems is critical.
Owners and engineers need to be aware of the technical issues.
The insulation materials you are currently specifying are totally inadequate for local conditions.
They are inefficient so more energy is being used, meaning more money is being burned . . . .
