HX Insulation

Heat exchangers in chilled water systems are frequently insulated to minimize condensation buildup on the component in warm, humid settings. In order to maintain a manageable temperature in the room and on the surface, it is often employed on hot water systems for safety purposes. Since the exposed surface area of the plates is so small compared to the overall effective heat transfer area, insulation is often not needed on heat exchangers to increase thermal efficiency.
