INSULATION
TECHNOLOGY

IMPORTANT PARAMETER OF INSULATION
 The R-value of the material selected

(per unit thickness of insulation
material)
 The method of insulation.
 To hold insulation air tight and firm
enough to withstand the movement
and deflection.
 The insulation should also not allow
entry of moisture from outside and
should have a strong vapor barrier.

MOST COMMON MATERIALS INSULATION
Fibre glass
EPS(expanded polystyrene)
XPS (extruded polystyrene)
Expanded Polyethylene (EPE)
Puff (polyurethane foam)
Radiant barrier
Use of fibre glass in low temp insulation is not

encouraged due to its poor moisture permeability.
If used should be enclosed in panels or batted.
XPS/PUF is most hi-tech product with 100%
closed cell structure and high compressive
strength and very low water permeability specially
designed as most efficient insulating material.

INSULATION SELECTION
Since purpose of insulation is to preserve energy which has become very

expensive ASHARE recommendation should be followed to specify minimum
R value. It is good practice to select higher R value as in most of Indian region
summer ambient temperatures are very high then specified in ASHRAE Hand
book.
Most of insulation supplier underplay R value and try to justify based on past
practices. Since higher thickness means higher insulation cost to achieve
desired R value it is neglected most of times to reduce expenses. Most of time
right funds are not allocated. While selection of right insulation material
important, installation by trained and experienced contractor is must.
Insulation must be airtight, thermal bridges should be minimized, vapor
barrier should installed .
COMPOSITE INSULATION SYSTEM

To provide high R value by increasing thickness abnormally is not a optimum
solution specially in tropical climate with hot and humid or dry climate. The
use of radiant barrier and cooling has to be incorporated with conventional
insulation material with proper controlled air gap.

EXTERNAL INSULATION & FINISHING
SYSTEM WITH ISOFLEX EIFS
(An efficient way to save energy by 30-80%)
 EIFS stands for Exterior Insulation & Finishing EXTERNAL INSULATION WITH FINISHING
System. SYSTEM (EIFS)
 For residential & commercial, conditioned CONDITIONED BUILDING ENVELOPE
warehouse building envelope for all type of
buildings
 Most versatile & durable (long life) system,
 In use in Europe ( 1940), in USA, (1970) Canada,
Australia, Asia Pacific (China, Dubai etc).
 Extensively tested & evaluated by world
authorities EPA, IOTA etc.

RADIANT COOLING OF ROOF, FLOOR AND
WALLS
 Under concept of radiant cooling the temp. of

building envelope comprising ceiling, floor, walls are
maintained at above condensing temp. through
circulation of water between the two insulating
surfaces. A very high insulation on external warm
facing and moderate insulation at inside the room.
The wall temp is controlled through simple
mechanism of varying the temp. and flow of water
 If properly designed the cost of radiant cooling will

not be more than 10-15% of the conventional
construction cost of building. However the operating
cost of electricity will be around 15-20% of cost of
conventional heating and cooling cost. Water
circulated can be reused and replaced occasionally
hence the cost is negligible.

CONVENTIONAL THERMAL INSULATION
 The most of the REFIGERATION and AIR

CONDITIONING SYSTEMS in India are
operated through on off not on proportional
control. For example Cold stores during
holding period run 8-10 hours in 24 hours
with a intermittent gap of 3-4 hours
stoppage.
 During shut down of refrigeration and

ventilation system, the temp. and humidity
goes hay wire and results into huge variation
of temp. and relative humidity in entire
building /chamber.

DRAWBACK OF CONVENTIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
 Wasteful energy operations due to poor handling

of key parameters.
 Unable to control the fluctuations in energy
requirement due to changing seasonal and day to
day weather conditions.
 Insulation from inside thermal

 Unbalanced and non synchronized running of

 Excessive maintenance and cumbersome

 Use of unskilled professionals for handling Outside view of conventional Inside view of conventional cold
operations. cold storage at Gujarat storage

TEMP. AND HUMIDTY CONTROL
 Any technology of storing them must ensure less

variations in temp. and humidity due to shut down
of refrigeration system.
 During shut down of refrigeration system

depending upon the conditions of insulation, the
temp and humidity goes hay wire due to ingress
and generation of heat due to breathing/
respiration of produce kept. The radiant cooling, if
well designed and control, may require only initial
cooling and/ or intermittent cooling in case if the
radiant cooling is not sufficient and fast enough to
bring down the temp. of the wall at preset
conditions.

WHY APC INSULATION TECHNOLOGY?
The conventional insulation refrigeration

system are highly inadequate to provide the
constant and uniform temp. and humidity as
technology used by them do not permit whereas
APC Polycoat Bhiwadi factory, Gupta Nursing Home,
incorporating radiant barrier and cooling and EIFS insulation on exterior walls wall & roof insulation with XPS
constructing the building envelope with drywall
with appropriate system design will not only
reduce the operating cost significantly (only 25-
30% of conventional cost) but also provide the
ideal conditions of uniform and constant temp.

product in order to prolong the life of perishable
produce & maintain natural nutrition quality for
proper consumption.
 By strategically locating the radiant barrier and
cooling system, we can design highly energy
efficient refrigerated warehouse (cold storage)
which may only use 20-30% power when
compared with conventionally run cold store in
India.
 To provide the house at highly optimum and
reasonable cost.

are big problems. Ice Slurry can act as
green secondary refrigerant.
 No leakage issues with ice slurry.
 Wide range of industrial applications
varying from comfort cooling and
commercial refrigeration to industrial
production processes medicine and in
the milk production

ICE SLURRY
 Ice slurry is a phase-changing secondary fluid
consisting of both a liquid state fraction and a solid–
state fraction.
 operating temperature for ice slurry can be chosen
from 0 to at least -35ºC
 Its more efficient secondary fluid than single-phase
fluids
 Ice slurry has advantage of the stored cooling energy
(in terms of latent heat) in the ice particles (0.1 to 1
mm size) during melting.
 Its safe & can be in direct contact cooling and freezing
of products.
 ice slurries have several times higher heat transport
capability than single-phase fluids
 Due to higher heat transport capability of Ice slurry,
higher cooling can be achieved with less pipe
dimensions

ENERGY AUDIT- COLD STORAGE

Energy Losses
The level of energy efficiency a plant or process

can achieve is inversely proportionate to the
energy loss that occurs; the higher the loss, the
lower the efficiency.
Where and how do most of the losses occur?
How much energy is actually lost and are they
controllable or recoverable?
The answers to these questions remain well
concealed in a black box where once energy is
input, we do not know what really happens to it
inside and how much the losses are. With proper
energy audit we are able to ascertain the
performance of the overall or process levels and
respond more effectively to the weaknesses in
energy management
Causes of Energy Losses
Poor plant design.
Inefficient equipment specification &
selection.
Poor SOP’s & operations that run on
inefficient methods.
non-energy efficiency-conscious maintenance
programme.
Reducing these losses will substantially
increase the plant's efficiency, but we
need data to identify and quantify the
losses and subsequently suggest suitable
techno-economic solutions to minimize
the losses. This data can be acquired
through energy audits.

Stages of Energy Audit

Definition of Energy Audit
As per Indian Energy Conservation Act
2001, Energy Audit is defined as:
“the verification, monitoring and analysis of
use of energy including submission of
technical report containing
recommendations for improving energy
efficiency with cost benefit analysis and an
action plan to reduce energy consumption”
Types of Energy Audit

Preliminary Energy Audit
Targeted Energy Audit
Detailed Energy Audit

Why We Need Energy Audit
The three top operating expenses are
energy (both electrical and thermal),
labour and materials.
Energy would emerge as a top ranker
for cost reduction
Primary objective of Energy Audit is to
determine ways to reduce energy
consumption per unit of product
output or to lower operating costs
•Energy Audit provides a “ bench-
mark” (Reference point) for managing
energy in the organization

Preliminary Energy Audit
Preliminary energy audit uses existing
or easily obtained data
Find out the energy consumption area
in the organization
Estimates the scope for saving
Identifies the most likely areas for
attention
Identifies immediate(no cost or low
cost) improvements
Sets a ‘reference point’
Identifies areas for more detailed
study/measurement
Targeted Energy Audits
Targeted energy audits are mostly based

upon the outcome of the preliminary
audit results.
They provide data and detailed analysis
on specified target projects.
As an example, an organization may
target its lighting system or boiler system
or compressed air system with a view to
bring about energy savings.
Targeted audits therefore involve detailed
surveys of the target subjects/areas with
analysis of the energy flows and costs
associated with those targets.
Detailed Energy Audit
Detailed Energy Audit evaluates
all systems and equipment
which consume energy and the
audit comprises a detailed study
on energy savings and costs.
Detailed Energy Audit is carried
out in 3 phases
 The Pre-audit Phase
 The Audit Phase
 The Post-Audit Phase

The Ten Steps for Detailed Audit

10 Steps Contd…..

Questions
What function does this system serve?
How does this system serve its
function?
What is the energy consumption of this
system?
What are the indications that this
system is working properly ?
If this system is not working, how can it
be restored to good working
conditions/
How can the energy cost of this system
be reduced?
Identification of Energy Conservation
Factors & Areas
Steps for conserving energy

can be taken if we know the
correct factors and areas to be
studied and also details of
fuels used.
These can be:
 Energy generation
 Energy distribution
 Energy usage by processes
 Fuel substitution
Technical and Economic

Energy saving cold facilities
Operation costs in a cold

facility
Typically energy
consumption account for a
substantial part of running
a cold facility
This substantiates the need
for lowering energy
consumption
Objectives
Several areas can be considered when lowering

energy
Consumption in a cold facility.
Insulation panels
Strip curtains
Air curtains
Doors
Loading docks
Light fixtures
Refrigeration system
Day-to-day basis
APC can provide the above products/services

Insulation panels
Frozen food shelf-life
Bad building insulation
(walls, floor, ceiling)
negatively affects room
temperature.
This results in:
 High energy consumption
 Reduction of frozen food shelf life
 Lower food quality
 Frost build-up
Bad insulation

Insulation panels: Case study
Details:
Energy saving when replacing
100 mm PU panels with 200
mm PU panels from APC
Room size: 2000 m3
Cold store room: -25°C
Outside cold store room
temperature: +35°C
Δt: 60
Insulation panels: Case study cont.
* (assuming $0.17 per kWh)

Result and notes:
• Replacing 100 mm panels with e.g. 200 mm panels will save energy costs by USD7756 per year in a
2000 m3 cold room
• Heat loss through a cold facility’s roof is higher than anywhere else. Therefore, 200mm + 100mm panels
can be installed for even higher energy savings
Strip curtains
Excessive door
openings can result
in excess use of
energy and may
affect temperature
control within a cold
store

Strip curtains: Case study
Case study: UK pie factory, lack of strip curtains*
Solution:
Details:
• Install strip curtains on doors. APC-technologies
 Cold room storing uncooked pies use high quality strip-curtains for minimum heat
 Desired pie temperature: 3-5°C loss
 2 doors without strip curtains • Installing strip curtains saved 19% of the energy
used by the cold store (from 5.3kW / day to
4.3kW / day) ****
Problem: • Pie temperatures were kept at desired level of 5°C
 Pie temperature reaches 12°C
during operation hours **
 Heat infiltration through doors
responsible for 68% of heat load on
the store ***

Strip curtains: Case study cont.
Temp of pies in cold store with no door protection Temp of pies in cold store with strip curtains

Air curtains
Using air curtains is an effective way to combat warm air infiltration and thus save energy
Air curtain benefits:

Reducing heat loss by up to 80%
Energy saving: 1-10 %
Energy savings generally pay for
the equipment and installation
costs within 1-3 years
Maintains visibility and safety
Improves sanitation

Doors
Problem:
Slow speed/manual conveyor and forklift
doors allow large amounts of infiltration
due to the length of time the doorway is
open during the operation cycle = higher
energy bills.
Solution:
Replacing an old, slow moving door
system with a modern, high-speed door
system (with the latest technology) from
APC results in significant energy savings.
Doors: Case study
Comparison: 12 inch/second door with 60 inch/second door*
• Energy saved per year: 233,132 kWh

• $39,632 per year (assuming $0.17 per
kWh)*

Loading docks and operation
Problem:
The time taken to load and unload products a cold store affects:
 The amount of hot and humid air infiltrated through the doors
 Heat gained by the products in the meantime (which may lead to their
deterioration)
 Increased number of necessary defrost cycles (due to extended door openings) =
All equal to higher energy bills
Solution:
APC design system ensures minimum electricity consumption by:
Reducing heat infiltration into cold store by installing air curtains on
the doors
Designing ante-room (cooling down air in the ante-room outside the
frozen rooms to e.g. 5°C)
Adding mechanical cooling in the loading dock.

Light fixtures
Problem:
Traditional lights installed in a cold
facility have high heat energy
Because of the heat from the lights, the
chillers need to remove the energy created
by heat from the lights to keep a low
temperature in cold storage
Solution:
Replacing traditional lights with HIF/LED
lights/Led lights with intelligent control
will save a substantial amount of energy
usage.
Light fixtures: Case study
In a – 26C° Cold Storage 50 x 250W sodium

lamps were replaced on a one-for-one basis
with 50 x 48W LED light fittings
80% reduction in energy consumption
Assuming a 24/7 365- day operation, the
annual energy saving would be 175,000
kWH
Or $29,750 in energy saving/annum
(assuming $0.17/kWh)
Carbon emissions will also be reduced by
94,000 tons per annum
Additionally, the LED lights will contribute
to more room brightness (see image)
Refrigeration system
The energy cost above call for high quality refrigeration systems to
reduce energy costs.

Refrigeration system cont.
Choosing refrigeration equipments such as:

Compressors
Condensers
Air coolers
Chiller units
Ice handling equipment
Freezing equipment saves a substantial
amount of energy.
APC Polycot’s state of art ice slurry technology can reduce the refrigeration
system energy cost by 20-30%.

Reducing condenser temperature is key to saved energy bills.
Energy savings in % by reducing condenser

temperature 1°C

Appropriate condenser size:

Increasing condenser size to match cold room
facility results in up to 10 % energy saving *
Evaporators: another key area to reduce
energy consumption:
 Evaporators with intelligent defrost control saves
energy consumption by 9%.
Evaporators with low fan horsepower can save up
to 25% on energy bills **
The importance of piping insulation not to
be neglected:***
APC designed piping insulation (e.g. properly
thick insulation)
Well insulated piping system can reduce costs by
5%. ****
High quality refrigeration equipment and

well-operated refrigeration plant can reduce
energy consumption by 50% or more.
For instance:
Use a central system with a few large industrial
type compressors.
Use of state of the art fans, motors, lamps etc.
with ultimate efficiency.
Evaporative condensers rather than air cooled
types.
Oversized evaporator and condenser surfaces
enables compressors to work with high
evaporating and low condensing pressures with
consequent low wear and low energy
consumption.
