Hot insulation and cold insulation procedure
1. The suggested materials and their thickness for hot insulation or cold insulation are shown in
Table 5.
2. Use a bonding agent, iron wire, iron band, and so on, to fix the hot insulation/cold insulation
materials. Never rivet them. Do not use welding pins.
3. Make the outer cover, flanged parts, and evaporator water chamber casing easily removable to
facilitate servicing.
4. The points that require hot insulation or cold insulation are shown in Table 6.
5. The casing of the absorber and the condenser water chamber does not require hot insulation
or cold insulation. If insulation is used, make it easy to remove.
6. Install the generator insulation so that the front, sides, and rear sections can be removed
separately. All parts of the insulation on each side is removable.
