Subject field(s)
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

Transfer subsea LNG [liquefied natural gas] and LPG [liquefied petroleum gas]. - This unit promotes and markets the use of subsea export/import cryogenic lines (pipe-in-pipe-in-pipe or pipe-in-pipe) for the transfer of LNG/LPG which allows a significant reduction of civil engineering cost and visual impact by doing away with terminal jetties and related civil works.

OBS

Typical subsea cryogenic pipeline designs consist of two coaxial pipes, or Pipe-in-Pipe(PiP) concept. Some designs add a secondary containment(third pipe) to create the so called Pipe-in-Pipe-in-Pipe(PiPiP) concept. The inner pipe transports the cryogenic fluid, the annular space provides the necessary insulation properties and the outer pipe(s) offers protection from the external environment(pressure, corrosion, impacts).

Subject field(s)
  • Building Insulation and Acoustical Design
  • Thermal Insulation
CONT

Minimized life-cycle cost and optimal retrofit strategies for Multi-family residences ... This paper only will deal with the insulation measures and how they will emerge if the minimized LCC [life-cycle cost] concept is implemented. In [2] we have shown the influence of different discount rates, optimization periods, building and energy costs etc, on the optimal insulation thickness, but no concern was taken to the fact that the insulation thickness will influence the proper heating equipment.

CONT

An investigation of the thermal conductivity of pipe insulations will explore various types of insulation as well as the effect of insulation thickness on preventing energy loss. We will collect data relating to temperature distributions along pipes and through their insulations, at elevated temperatures.

  • Isolation thermique
DEF

La hauteur du matériau spécifiquement isolant mesurée en mètres est l'épaisseur de la couche d'isolation ou épaisseur de la couche d'isolant.

CONT

Solutions acoustiques avec les plaques de plâtre [...] Principe de fonctionnement : la première paroi se met à vibrer, la couche d'air et d'isolation arrête ces vibrations, de sorte qu'une part infime des vibrations sonores atteint la deuxième paroi. Avantage : bons résultats acoustiques avec des matériaux légers. L'efficacité dépend de la largeur du creux, de l'épaisseur de la couche d'isolation et du type de structure portante.

CONT

L'habillage entre solives. [...] En sous face, sur les joues des solives, matérialiser l'emplacement des cornières avec des traits au cordeau à poudre. Entre les panneaux d'aggloméré et les cornières, conserver un écart égal à l'épaisseur de l'isolant.

Electronic Fuel Injection nozzles and fuel rails are subjected to overheating during vehicles operation ... Solution. Install a flat rectangular heat shield between the exhaust manifold and the fuel rail. This shield combines a high temperature ceramic heat block with a more cost effective lower temperature resistant fiberglass insulation. An aluminum foil pad is also added to distribute the heat throughout the insulator alleviating any "hot spots."
