PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 INSULATION

A. General Insulation Requirements:

- Insulation shall be applied on clean dry surfaces, after pressure testing inspection and release for
insulation application.

- Insulation shall be continuous through wall, floor, ceiling openings and sleeves. Where insulated
piping or ductwork pierces fire rated partitions, walls and floors, substitute anhydrous calcium
silicate insulation with vapour barrier in lieu of mineral wool for a minimum of 200mm from wall
in both directions, to produce a hard surface for fire resistive packing.

- Insulation on cold surfaces where vapour barrier jackets are used shall be applied with a
continuous, unbroken vapour seal. Hangers, supports, anchor, etc. that is secured directly to cold
services shall be adequately insulated and vapour sealed to prevent condensation.

- Insulation on indoor work shall have composite (insulation, jacket or facing, and adhesive used to
adhere the facing or jacket to the insulation. Insulation shall be flame retardant essentially non
combustible, and shall not produce toxic vapours or dense smoke when burned.

- Accessories such as adhesives, mastics, coatings, cements, tapes, etc. for fittings shall have the
same component rating as listed above and shall be applied in strict accordance with manufacturer's
instructions including recommended coverage. Treatment of jackets or facings to impart
flame-and-smoke safety shall be permanent. The use of water-soluble treatments is prohibited.

- The only exception to the above material requirements is where a material meeting these
requirements is not available from any manufacturer, in which case substitute items shall be subject
to individual approval by the Architect.

- Adhesives and coating shall be applied according to the manufacturer's standard insulation
instructions. No adhesive or cements shall be applied to ambient temperatures below those
recommended by manufacturers.

2.2 INSULATION FOR EQUIPMENT AND SPECIAL SYSTEMS

A. The following Cold Equipment shall be insulated with vapour barrier board insulation
using Type E-1 insulation:

2.3 INSULATION FOR HOT EQUIPMENT

A. The following Hot Equipment shall be insulated with semi-rigid insulation using
Type E-2 insulation.

- Generator 121C. Max. 25 mm.

- Compression Tank - 121C max. 50 mm.
- Heat Exchangers - 38 mm.

C. The following hot equipment and system components shall be insulated with high
temperature block insulation using Type E-3 insulation:

D. Kitchen Range Exhaust Ducts and Fans - 50 mm.

E. Flues - 50 mm.
F. Flash Tank - 25 mm.

G. Type E-1 Mineral wool Rigid Equipment Insulation with Vapour Barrier.

J. All joints and voids in the insulation shall be filled with mineral wool cement. All joints and breaks
in the vapour barrier shall be sealed with strips of the vapour barrier facing adhered with vapour
barrier adhesive.

K. Finish shall consist of imbedding an open weave glass fabric (20 x 20) into wet coating of lagging
adhesive over-lapping the seams at least 50 mm. A finish coat of lagging adhesive shall then be
applied.

L. Sections of equipment requiring periodic servicing such as heads and pumps shall be insulated with
flanged, sectional, gasketed vaportight aluminium sheet metal covers 1.2mm thick lined with 50mm
67 kg density mineral wool board.

M. Type E-2 Mineral wool Rigid Equipment Insulation for Hot Equipment.

N. Insulation shall be 96 kg per cu. m. density mineral wool having a maximum K factor of .24 at 23C
