Cold insulation pipe supports are widely used in cryogenic pipelines in liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage and transportation systems, air separation equipment, refrigeration systems, and the chemical industry. In LNG receiving terminals, cold insulation pipe supports are used to support cryogenic pipelines from storage tanks to vaporizers, ensuring that LNG does not vaporize due to cold loss during transportation. In the chemical industry, cold insulation pipe supports are used to transport cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, preventing embrittlement or cracking of pipelines due to low temperatures.
For example, at one LNG receiving terminal, the piping system employed polyurethane cold insulation pipe supports, which not only effectively reduced cold loss but also significantly reduced pipeline vibration and noise. According to field data, the use of cold insulation pipe supports reduced pipeline cold loss by over 30%, significantly improving system operating efficiency.
