Heat Containment: Why Insulation Is Usually the First Step in Any Efficiency Program

The Department of Energy’s process heating sourcebook divides efficiency improvements into five categories. Of those five, heat containment stands out as the one most facilities can act on quickly, without major capital investment and without interrupting production.

Heat containment means reducing energy losses to the surrounding environment. Every surface that runs hotter than ambient temperature is a source of those losses. The hotter the surface and the larger the area, the more energy is leaving the system and adding to your fuel bill.

What the DOE Sourcebook Says About Insulation

The sourcebook is direct about what poor insulation costs: “Poor insulation might reduce a process heating system’s efficiency, thereby increasing the amount of energy needed to perform a given process heating task. In addition to an increased cost for energy, the system is exposed to higher stress, which can accelerate wear and subsequently lead to more frequent breakdowns. Other side effects can be reduced product quality and increased maintenance.”

That last point is important. Insulation isn’t just about energy savings. When equipment runs hotter than it needs to because heat isn’t being retained properly, the surrounding components experience greater thermal stress. Over time, that means shorter service life and more downtime.

Where Insulation Applies

Insulation opportunities in a process heating system typically include: furnace and oven walls, doors, and ceilings; pipes, valves, and flanges carrying hot fluids, gases, or steam; ductwork connecting heating equipment to downstream processes; heating barrels, nozzles, and dies on plastics processing equipment; and exhaust components that carry high-temperature gases away from the process.

Each of these surfaces loses heat at a rate determined by the temperature difference between the surface and the surrounding air, the surface area, and the effectiveness of any existing insulation.

Removable vs. Permanent Insulation

For some surfaces — furnace walls, fixed ductwork — permanent insulation makes sense. But for components that require regular maintenance access, permanent insulation creates a practical problem: every time someone needs to access the valve, flange, or connection, they have to remove and replace insulation that wasn’t designed to come off.

Removable and reusable insulation covers solve that problem. They’re designed to go on and come off quickly, without damaging the insulation or the equipment underneath. This makes them practical for valves, flanges, fittings, and other components where access is part of the normal maintenance routine.

UniTherm’s insulation blankets and jackets are built specifically for this use case. UniVest® covers for plastics processing equipment, IsoCovers for pipes and valves, and custom insulation blankets for other industrial components — all removable, reusable, and engineered for high-temperature environments. Browse the full line at unitherm.com.

A Simple Place to Start

If you haven’t done a surface temperature audit recently, that’s a good first step. Walk the system with an infrared thermometer. Note which surfaces are running significantly above ambient temperature. Prioritize the largest, hottest surfaces — those represent the biggest ongoing losses. Then ask whether those surfaces are accessible for maintenance. If they are, removable insulation is worth a look.

Why Fixing One Thing at a Time Isn’t Enough: The Systems Approach to Process Heating

When a facility decides to improve energy efficiency, the instinct is often to target the most obvious problem and fix it. That’s understandable — but according to the Department of Energy’s process heating sourcebook, fixing individual components in isolation often misses a larger opportunity and can even produce misleading results.

The DOE Sourcebook recommends what it calls a systems approach: a top-down review of how all the components of a process heating system perform and interact together. The goal is to understand the whole before optimizing the parts.

What a Systems Approach Actually Looks Like

The sourcebook describes the systems approach as a process that starts with creating process flow diagrams — visual maps of how materials and energy move through the system. This gives engineers and facility managers a “bird’s-eye view” of the entire process and allows them to rank components by their efficiency impact.

Importantly, it also reveals how changing one component affects others. Here’s an example. tuning burners reduce energy use, but it will also make the gains from flue gas heat recovery somewhat smaller than they would have been before the burners were tuned. Without the systems perspective, you might over-estimate the benefit of the second improvement.

Start with the Data You Have

A systems approach requires data. Mapping energy flows through a system highlights the confidence in existing data and identifies what additional measurements are needed. In other words, the process of analyzing the system reveals gaps that need to be filled before improvements can be properly evaluated.

Analysis doesn’t have to be complicated. In many cases, it starts with temperature measurements at key surfaces, monitoring of exhaust gas composition, and basic tracking of fuel use per unit of output.

Individual Components Still Matter

The systems approach doesn’t replace component-level analysis — it informs it. After the top-down review identifies which components have the highest efficiency impact, those components are then analyzed in detail. The US Department of Energy sourcebook describes this as an iterative process: the component’s improved performance is fed back into the system model to determine true gains when interactions between components are taken into account.

Insulation is a good example of where this matters. Adding insulation to a furnace wall reduces surface heat loss. But it also changes the thermal environment inside the furnace, which may affect heat transfer to the product, which may affect how the control system responds. A complete analysis accounts for all of those effects.

When you’re ready to take stock of heat losses across your facility, UniTherm’s team can help you think through where removable insulation solutions apply — from plastics processing equipment to piping systems to exhaust components. A systems view often reveals insulation opportunities that aren’t obvious from looking at individual pieces of equipment.

5 Ways Heat Escapes Your Industrial System — And How to Stop It

Most industrial facilities have a heat loss problem they can’t see. Heat is leaving the system continuously through walls, pipes, openings, and idling equipment. Losing heat means losing energy, causing the machines in your process to work harder, raising the ambient temperature, decreasing efficiency and even shortening equipment life span. The solution starts by understanding where heat escapes your system.

The U.S. Department of Energy identifies the major sources of energy loss in fuel-based systems. In this article, we’ll cover each source and explain the most efficient solution to help you solve this problem.

1. Furnace and Heater Walls

Hot surfaces like furnaces, dryers, and heat exchangers continuously lose energy through both radiation and convection. This is sometimes called wall loss or surface loss. Unfortunately, it is present any time the equipment is operating, even when it’s holding temperature between runs.

On it’s own this is not the worst heat loss issue, but when poor or degraded insulation on furnace walls goes unreplaced heat loss increases dramatically.

Per the US Department of Energy, poor insulation conditions are a key source of energy loss and often overlooked during routine maintenance reviews. Furnace walls, connected piping or ductwork are the most common areas for heat loss in this first category.

Fortunately the solution for this category is fairly simple; Regularly replacing insulation with insulation solutions, like those found on shop.unitherm.com, is a simple, cost effective fix.

2. Openings, Doors, and Seals

Every time a furnace door opens, heat escapes by radiation. Even closed doors with gaps and worn seals can allow radiant heat to escape. Radiation heat loss from openings is a specific category of loss which results from not having proper seals at doors used for material handling.

Checking and maintaining door seals regularly is a low-cost maintenance step that can reduce this loss meaningfully.

3. Flue and Exhaust Gases

For fuel-fired systems, exhaust gases carry a large portion of the heat energy out of the system. Flue gas losses are one of the largest sources of energy loss in fuel-based process heating. The higher the exhaust gas temperature, the more energy is being lost.

This is the category that waste heat recovery systems are designed to address — capturing heat from the exhaust stream and putting it back to work, either as preheated combustion air or for other process uses.

4. Piping and Ductwork Without Insulation

Hot piping, ductwork, and valves that run between the heating source and the process lose heat at every uninsulated foot. This is especially relevant in facilities where heated fluids, gases, or steam travel significant distances. Each uninsulated surface is a continuous energy drain.

UniTherm’s IsoCovers are removable insulation covers designed for pipes, valves, and flanges. They’re an effective, convenient, and low-cost way to address heat loss on piping components — and because they’re removable, they don’t interfere with maintenance access. Learn more at unitherm.com/pipe-and-components.

5. Idle and Low-Capacity Operation

Process heating systems have both fixed and variable losses. Variable losses depend on how much material is being heated. Fixed losses occur as long as the unit is operating, regardless of capacity. When a furnace sits idle between batches or runs at low capacity for extended periods, those fixed losses — wall heat, exhaust gases, radiation — continue accumulating without productive output to offset them.

Scheduling improvements that reduce idle time are one of the enabling technologies the DOE sourcebook identifies for improving overall system efficiency.

Where to Start

Not every facility has the same loss profile, and not every improvement requires capital investment. A walk-through of your system with attention to surface temperatures, insulation condition, and door or seal integrity can reveal opportunities quickly. If pipes, valves, or equipment surfaces are hot to the touch — or hot enough to be uncomfortable to stand near — that heat is money leaving your process.

Process Heating Efficiency: Why It Matters And What Most Facilities Are Missing

If you work in manufacturing, process heat is your largest energy cost. The worst part is you’re spending even more because of heat waste.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy process heating consumes more energy in U.S. manufacturing than any other single system. The number is striking: more than 7,000 Trillion Btu per year! That’s roughly 61% of all manufacturing on-site energy use. For individual facilities, the energy used for process heating typically accounts for 2% to 15% of total production costs.

Even a modest improvement in how efficiently your system generates, contains, and transfers heat can translate into real savings without changing your process. Let’s take a look at what process heating is, where it goes and how to utilize more of it.

What “Process Heating” Actually Covers

Process heating is broader than most people assume. It includes furnaces, ovens, kilns, dryers, and heaters used across industries from primary metals to plastics to food processing. It covers fuel-based systems, electric-based systems, and steam-based systems. Virtually any operation that requires controlled heat to transform a material falls under this umbrella.

Process heating operations, include forming, curing, drying, fluid heating, heat treating, and metals reheating. Each one has specific efficiency characteristics and specific opportunities for improvement.

Where the Energy Goes

A process heating system does not deliver all of its energy to the product. Heat escapes, whether that’s from furnace walls and openings, or with hot exhaust or flue gases, no can be 100 percent efficient. Despite that, there are still significant benefits to increasing process heat efficiency. By managing process heat, you can extend the life of your machines, increase overall output and reduce downtime.

The goal of any efficiency improvement program is not to eliminate all heat waste, but to reduce those losses and increase the share of energy that actually does useful work.

The Five Categories of Improvement

The DOE groups efficiency opportunities into five categories: heat generation, heat containment, heat transfer, waste heat recovery, and enabling technologies. These categories overlap in practical application, but they provide a useful framework for identifying where to start. Here’s a brief summary of each category:

  • Heat Generation: the process of producing heat energy. It happens when energy from sources like fuel, electricity, friction, or chemical reactions is converted into heat.
  • Heat Containment: the process of keeping heat within a specific area or system to reduce heat loss and maintain temperature. It is often achieved using insulation, barriers, or enclosed spaces.
  • Heat Transfer: the movement of heat energy from one object or area to another, moving from a hotter place to a cooler place.
  • Waste Heat Recovery: the process of capturing heat that would otherwise be lost from a system or process and reusing it for another purpose, improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs.
  • Enabling Technologies: tools, equipment, and systems that help industrial processes use heat more effectively, reducing energy consumption, costs, and emissions while maintaining or improving performance.

Heat containment is the area where most facilities can make meaningful gains quickly and at relatively low cost. Poorly maintained or missing insulation allows heat to escape continuously, adding to energy costs every hour the system runs. Here’s a list of where insulation should be in your facility:

Process Heat Efficiency Opportunities:

  • Steam and condensate piping
  • Valves, flanges, and fittings
  • Boilers and boiler doors
  • Heat exchangers
  • Process tanks and vessels
  • Ovens, furnaces, and kilns
  • Ductwork carrying heated air or gases
  • Hot water piping and storage tanks
  • Turbines and associated equipment
  • Any surface operating at elevated temperatures where personnel protection or energy conservation is required
UniTherm Insulation Systems designs removable and reusable insulation jackets, blankets, and covers for industrial equipment — purpose-built for the heat containment challenge. Products like UniVest® for plastics processing equipment and IsoCovers® for pipes and valves help facilities reduce surface heat loss without requiring permanent modifications.

If you’re not sure where your facility stands, simply take stock of which surfaces and components are uninsulated or under-insulated. You may be surprised what you find.

Insulate Pipes and Valves The Smart Way: Removable Covers vs. Conventional Lagging

Ask any maintenance team that has dealt with conventional pipe lagging — fiberglass, calcium silicate, foam glass — and you’ll hear the same complaints. It’s wet. It falls apart. Every time you need access to a valve or flange, you’re cutting it away and starting over. The insulation budget ends up being a recurring expense rather than a one-time installation.

Removable insulation covers offer a fundamentally different approach — and for valves, flanges, expansion joints, and other components that require periodic access, they make more operational and economic sense than any conventional alternative.

The Real Cost of Conventional Valve Insulation

Valves require annual maintenance, and annual maintenance requires removing traditional lagging. Besides the obvious cost of labor and disposal, other hidden costs inflate maintenance projects and increase project duration.

What you are risking with traditional lagging:

  • Labor cost to remove and dispose of the old insulation
  • Material cost to install new insulation after access
  • Downtime to complete the work and preform reinstallation.
  • Coverage gaps, moisture infiltration, and inadequate vapor barriers.

Across a large facility with hundreds of insulated valves and flanges, this adds up to a significant and largely avoidable maintenance burden.

How do ISOCOVERS Work?

UniTherm’s ISOCOVERS, a line of removable insulation jackets designed specifically for valves, flanges, strainers, steam traps, expansion joints, and other piping components solve the need for thermal insulation with the practical reality of meeting access requirements.

Covers come in standard sizes or custom fitted to your application. Closures use heavy-duty fastening systems — typically lacing wire or hook-and-loop — that allow removal and reinstallation in minutes without tools. Unlike lagging, ISOCOVERS maintain their shape even after repeated maintainence cycles, eliminating the need for replacement materials.

UniTherm selects it’s materials for your temperature range and environment: high-temperature wool or ceramic fiber for steam and high-temperature process applications, fiberglass or mineral wool for standard service, and specialized materials for cryogenic or corrosive environments.

Energy Performance: What to Expect

A bare valve in a steam system is a meaningful energy loss point. The surface area of a flanged valve can be many times that of the adjacent pipe. Not to mention, valves and fittings are often completely uninsulated precisely because of the access concern. ISOCOVERS eliminate that tradeoff.

Energy studies on steam systems with significant uninsulated valvework consistently show annual savings that justify cover costs many times over. For high-pressure steam system, retaining BTUs is crucial. BTUs lost to radial heat add up to massive costs across a system with dozens of uninsulated components.

When to Specify Removable Covers

  • Any valve, flange, or fitting that requires periodic access — which is essentially all of them
  • Steam systems with significant uninsulated valvework
  • High-temperature process piping where personnel protection from surface temperatures is a concern
  • Systems in environmentally sensitive locations where failed lagging creates housekeeping problems
  • New construction where avoiding the conventional lagging cycle from the start is the most cost-effective approach

Why Flexible Covers Beat Rigid Systems in Oil & Gas Fire Protection Systems

When a fire breaks out near critical equipment in an oil and gas facility, passive fire protection (PFP) is the last line of defense between a containable incident and catastrophic failure. Unlike active systems (sprinklers, suppression agents, manual intervention) passive protection works automatically, with no power, no signals, and no human action required. It’s built into the equipment itself.

The question for most facility engineers isn’t whether to install PFP, but which system is best suited for the application. Rigid epoxy intumescent coatings have dominated the market for decades, but flexible insulation covers have gained significant ground — and for good reason.

The Problem with Rigid Coatings

Rigid PFP coatings are effective at what they do, but they come with real operational tradeoffs:

  • Inspection is difficult or impossible without damaging the coating. Corrosion under insulation (CUI) can go undetected for years.
  • Reapplication after maintenance is time-consuming and typically requires specialist contractors.
  • Rigid systems are unforgiving on complex geometries — flanges, valves, and irregular surfaces are hard to cover uniformly.
  • Thermal cycling and vibration cause cracking over time, compromising integrity.

Flexible PFP Covers: What Changes

UniTherm’s flexible passive fire protection covers are engineered with high-performance, fire-resistant materials and custom-fitted to the specific geometry of each application; whether that’s a wellhead, a valve cluster, a junction box, or a structural column near a flare stack.

Because the covers are removable, inspection is straightforward. Take the cover off, inspect the substrate, reinstall. No coatings to strip, no contractor mobilization, no waiting. This single feature dramatically changes the maintenance calculus for facilities operating under strict inspection protocols.

Flexible PFP covers also conform to complex shapes that rigid coatings struggle to address consistently. A valve with multiple protrusions, a pipe elbow, a bolted flange — all covered with purpose-built flexible jackets that maintain full contact and consistent protection thickness.

Certifications and Standards

Passive fire protection systems in oil and gas applications must meet rigorous standards, including UL 1709 (rapid rise fire testing), ASTM E119, and various offshore standards. UniTherm’s PFP covers are engineered and tested to applicable standards for the specific protection durations required by the installation — typically 30 to 120 minutes.

Spec compliance documentation, test certifications, and installation guides are available for each product line — a critical requirement for facilities operating under third-party safety audits or insurance requirements.

When to Consider Flexible PFP

  • New construction or greenfield installations,
  • Retrofit applications where existing rigid coatings are aging and inspection access is a concern
  • Equipment subject to frequent maintenance, inspection, or replacement
  • Complex geometries where uniform rigid coating application is difficult
  • Offshore or remote facilities where contractor mobilization for reapplication is costly

The ROI of Removable Insulation: How Plastics Manufacturers Cut Energy Costs

Walk the floor of almost any injection molding or extrusion facility and you’ll find the same scene: bare barrel heater bands radiating heat into the air, cooling systems working overtime to compensate, and utility bills that never seem to come down.

It’s inefficiency hiding in plain sight, and it’s surprisingly simple to fix.


Removable insulation jackets for plastics equipment are not a new idea, but their return on investment is often dramatically underestimated. At UniTherm International, we’ve conducted energy studies across hundreds of facilities. The results are consistent: properly insulated barrel zones and hot runner systems typically reduce energy consumption by 35–50% in those areas, with payback periods measured in months, not years.

Where the Heat (and the Money) Is Going:

An exposed heater band on an injection molding barrel can radiate significant energy losses. Multiply that across a 10-machine shop running two shifts, and you’re looking at a meaningful annual waste. Beyond direct energy cost, there are secondary effects:

  • Ambient temperature rise forces HVAC systems to work harder, especially in summer.
  • Uneven thermal conditions stress components and contribute to faster wear.
  • Workers in close proximity to hot equipment face health and safety concerns.

Why Removable? Why Not Just Permanent Insulation?

This is the key question, and it’s where UniVest® insulation jackets shine. Unlike rigid or permanent insulation, removable jackets come off quickly for maintenance, inspection, or changeover and reattach in minutes. No cutting, no mess, no downtime penalty.

UniVest® jackets, constructed from high-temperature-rated materials, withstand heat, oils, and mechanical abuse typical on plastics shop floors. Custom-fit to your equipment using 3D AutoCAD modeling, they cover barrels, nozzles, hot runners, and other heated zones without interfering with normal operation.

What Does an Energy Study Show?

UniTherm offers complimentary energy studies that calculate the projected savings specific to your equipment, run schedule, and utility rates. Inputs include current surface temperatures, hours of operation, and local kWh cost. The output is a straightforward payback analysis — typically showing full cost recovery within 6 to 18 months.

One Texas-based molder with 22 machines reduced monthly energy spend by over $3,000 after insulating barrel zones on their larger presses. The jackets paid for themselves in under a year. More importantly, their process temperatures stabilized, reducing scrap rates as a secondary benefit.

Getting Started

The fastest way to assess the opportunity at your facility is to request a free sample jacket to test on your highest-heat machine. UniTherm International’s team will work with you to identify which zones offer the greatest return and quote custom-fit jackets from there.

Margins are tight and energy costs are one of the few controllable line items. Removable insulation is one of the highest-ROI investments available that doesn’t require a capital budget approval to get started.

Proactive Maintenance : Insulation

The mindset of “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” is a thing of the past. It is a mentality that even the best of us have been guilty of from time to time. While it may sound like a good idea, it can be damaging to a company in the long run. Staying the course down a single path can lead to a business owner getting blindsided by future problems. Just because something is working at the moment, doesn’t mean that future problems won’t arise. The new trend is to start protecting your investments and wellbeing by stopping the problem before it ever begins with proactive maintenance.

Preventative Maintenance: Insulation

Stop The Problem Before It Happens = Greater Savings

Whether you’re trying to make the most of an ever-dwindling staff and budget, or looking for even more ways to trim operations and maintenance costs, preventative maintenance on equipment and facilities can help save time and money in the long run.

The key point to preventative maintenance is stopping the issue before it ever begins. While there are some expenses related to running a good proactive maintenance program, it costs less to properly maintain equipment and facilities than it does to repair the damage from a premature breakdown or early deterioration of property.

Proactive maintenance of equipment and facilities is very similar to regular vehicle maintenance. The key to keeping your vehicle running well today and down the road is routine proactive maintenance. Many times significant and expensive repairs can be avoided if the vehicle is properly and regularly maintained.

Increases Life Cycle of Applications

Regular equipment Untitled-2maintenance leads to an improvement in the overall safety and reliability of the system. Planning and management of asset maintenance improve the life cycle of the assets and keeps them performing at peak productivity levels. As a result, costly unplanned downtime is minimized; workforce productivity increases; and asset lifecycle and return on asset (ROA) are improved.

Increases Performance

Regular improvements to the process for better machine efficiency and product quality increases maintenance productivity by detecting and identifying potential equipment problems before they grow. This reduces the frequency, severity, and cost of repairs while enabling your team to avoid unnecessary and unproductive tasks.

employee-burnProvides a Safe Work Environment

More efficient and frequently maintained work environments (including equipment and personnel) lead to a safer work atmosphere. When machines break down and errors occur, accidents are more likely to happen.

Where Does Insulation Fit In?

Insulation is built upon the idea of proactive maintenance practices. Insulation does all of the benefits listed above plus more. Once installed, your insulation needs no further maintenance. So you can feel good, knowing you are doing your bit for the planet while creating a more efficient and more collaborative work environment, to reduce costs and support your organization’s work processes.

Dangers of Heat Illness

HEAT ILLNESS CAN BE DEADLY. When employees are exposed to hot temperatures, maintaining a safe work environment can be more challenging than you think. As summertime temperatures continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important for employers to focus on providing workplace conditions that are safe from the excessive heat.

OSHA Heat Illness Fatalities

Heat Fatalities 2008-2014

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), thousands of workers become sick and even die as a result of exposure to heat each year. In the United States, an average of 400 deaths per year are directly related to heat, and an estimated 1,800 die from illnesses made worse by heat.

Many industries face challenges when it comes to providing a cool working environment, particularly in heat-susceptible areas such as industrial plants, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. When surface temperatures on pipe and equipment routinely exceed 140° F (60° C), measures should be taken to improve the working environment. Without adequate cooling or precautions, workers are put in danger while equipment and manufactured products are at an increased risk of failure, which can impact worker safety and productivity, and certainly, a company’s bottom-line.

So how can you protect your employees from heat exposure while also ensuring that the work is accomplished on time?

According to OSHA, “The best way to prevent heat-related illness is to make the work environment cooler”. However, the dilemma now becomes how to efficiently and economically cool large, open areas where high ambient outdoor temperatures and heat-generating machinery are factors.

OSHA Touch Safe, Ambient Air temperature

The radiating heat of a running barrel affects the ambient temperature.

Fortunately, the use of industrial insulation on process equipment and piping not only saves money and energy, but also reduces the potential for heat- related illnesses. As insulation is added to systems, the surface temperature of these systems is dramatically reduced. This provides a cooler work environment that yields higher productivity, as workers do not require as many breaks and are less concerned with the potential for burns from hot surfaces. Furthermore, insulation helps reduce the amount of work your machine has to do by decreasing the amount of energy used without sacrificing quality or performance. Learn more about the energy saving benefits of insulation.

The use of UniTherm’s UniVest® and ISOCOVERS Insulation Systems product lines provide easy and efficient ways to save energy and money while creating a cooler and safer work environment. Additionally, these product lines can be purchased online because they now are available in standard “off-the-shelf” sizes, which drastically reduces the time and costs often associated with custom insulation jobs.
