Temperature under control.
Thermal insulation makes profound sense. It's not just about keeping warm and cool and saving on energy costs. At a time of increased emphasis on environmental protection, reducing the carbon footprint and energy consumption, thermal insulation is more important than ever.
KAEFER S.A. offers a comprehensive insulation diagnostics service on industrial installations. Our specialists inspect the installation and determine the condition of its insulation and the related needs of the client.
In carrying out the aforementioned service, we use methods such as thermovision and a TIPCHECK audit to determine the level of heat loss in the installation, estimating achievable savings and the payback period of the investment. We have an in-house department that designs industrial insulation. Our specialists are experts in the requirements and potential problems of insulating installations in many industries, including refining, energy, chemicals, LNG, food, etc.
KAEFER S.A.'s Project Department is ready at any time to support our customers in their intensive efforts to significantly reduce energy losses, cut costs and protect the environment.
