Breathable insulation for corrosion reduction

摘要

Apparatuses for insulation and a method for insulating a pipeline are disclosed. An insulation layer may include a flexible polyurethane foam. The foam may be generated by polymerization in a pressurizable chamber at a pressure sufficient to prevent the foam from completely filling the chamber. The foam may be configured to carry moisture away from an object when disposed against the object.

1. An apparatus for insulating an object, the apparatus comprising:
an insulation layer comprising a flexible polyurethane foam, the foam generated by polymerization in a pressurizable chamber at a pressure sufficient to prevent the foam from completely filling the chamber, wherein the foam is configured to carry moisture away from the object when disposed against the object; and a shell layer comprising wind resistant, breathable material, the shell layer comprising an outer layer of the apparatus, wherein the object comprises one or more of a pipe, a valve, a valve cover or a pipe support and wherein the insulation surrounds the object.
