DESIGN IS THE BASIS FOR BEST VALUE
In designing an HVAC system the accompanying insulation solution must
be carefully considered A good insulation solution not only protects against
fire and condensation as well as offering good thermal resistance and
sound insulation it also offers the best value for the investment
DECREASE ENERGY USE
In addition to the obvious fire safetybenefits of properly insulating an HVACsystem there are numerous otheradvantages for the buildingrsquos ownersand operators One extremely importantbenefit is reduced heat transfer leadingto decreased energy use Tis generatesenormous savings in operating costsBy choosing an insulation solution thatretains its properties over the entirelifetime of the building the HVAC
system will also have a longer service lifeand require less maintenance
CONSIDER THE TOTAL COSTS
In order to choose an insulation solutionthat generates the lowest total costs thetotal lifetime cost of the installationmust be taken into account Te totallifetime cost is made up of materialand installation costs and operatingcosts which depend on energy pricesextent of use and maintenance forexample When the unlimited servicelife and lack of maintenance associated
with PAROC stone wool solutions isconsidered greater insulation thicknesscan obviously have a very positive effecton the total costs of an installation

Building costs
Te average cost of insulation istypically about 5ndash10 of the HVACsystemrsquos building costs An investmentin insulation easily results in substantialsavings in heating costs during thelifetime of the building
VALUE THE ENVIRONMENT
One of the biggest threats to theglobal environment is climate changecaused by greenhouse gases Buildingsconsume almost 40 of the primary
energy used in Europe Ventilation andair conditioning along with coolingsystems consume about 30 of theheating energy of new residentialbuildings
As well as leading to lower energyconsumption in the building the rightinsulation solution contributes to areduction in greenhouse gas emissions atthe energy generation level
Having a well-insulated HVACsystem not only reduces the energyconsumption for the benefit of theenvironment it also significantly
decreases the usage costs andmaintenance costs regardless of theheating and heat delivery system used

INSULATION FOR HVAC APPLICATIONS
EXCELLENT THERMAL INSUL ATION ON A WIDE
SERVICE RANGE
Te main purpose of thermal insulationis to prevent heat flow to or from theapplication to the surroundings Te
thermal conductivity of the insulationmaterial is one of its most importantproperties Stone wool has low thermalconductivity which makes it highlyresistant to heat transfer Reducingheat transfer results in direct savings inenergy usage and costs
Tere is a need for comfort coolingin buildings to keep the temperatureson a desired level When decidingon the insulation solution attentionshould be paid to the fact that it costsapproximately three times more tosupply cooling than heating For this
reason it is important that comfortcooling pipes are insulated in the same
way as hot pipes taking into accountthe economic and environmentalaspects
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) should make our buildings comfortable healthy
and safe places in which to live and work It is not enough however just to install the pipes and ducts
Durable fire-safe and energy-efficient HVAC solutions must be built using durable fire-safe and
energy-efficient products All PAROC products are made of stone wool the properties of which make
it ideal for HVAC applications

LOW WATER ABSORPTION
Water absorption is an importantproperty since there are manyapplications where the insulation mightbe exposed to water high humidity orother liquids If the insulation absorbs
water this might increase damage
to the installation eg corrosion andalso dramatically lower the insulationproperties of the product
ests according to EN 1609 andEN 13472 prove that PAROC productsdo not absorb or store moisture Te
water absorption of PAROC stone woolproducts is clearly below the required1 kgmsup2 A building insulated withPAROC products stays dry whichguarantees healthy indoor air and along service life for the building and itsHVAC system
SOLUTIONS TO PREVENT CORROSION
Moisture in uninsulated or poorlyinsulated pipes and ducts results incorrosion over time Corrosion of thepipes and ducts can lead to leakages
which cause damage to the building andequipment o prevent corrosion andguarantee a long service life the pipesand ducts must be insulated againstcondensation with products that have anon-permeable facing Te wide rangeof facings available with PAROC Hvacproducts means that vapour permeation
can be kept to an absolute minimum

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution

O Products with facing need no
additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY
DIMENSION THE INSULATION SOLUT ION CALCULATIONS ARE
BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
Effective insulation is not restricted tostraight pipe sections as Paroc has agood solution for pipe elbows as wellPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat andPAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat areideal for thermal and condensationinsulation for pipes
In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

FIRE983085RATED PIPE PENETRATIONS
Pipes passing from one fire area to another can
often present problems because they provide a
potential channel through which fire could spread in a
building There are several ways of ensuring that pipe
penetrations do not become a conduit for fire One
of them is to insulate the pipe penetrations with non-
combustible PAROC stone wool products
Pipe penetrations insulated with PAROC products providesuperior fire protection Pipe penetrations should be testedaccording to the harmonised EN 1366-3 standard Eventhough the testing standard is harmonised requirements and
solutions can vary from country to country Please ask yourlocal Paroc representative for more information about pipepenetrations

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

DESIGN IS THE BASIS FOR BEST VALUE
In designing an HVAC system the accompanying insulation solution must
be carefully considered A good insulation solution not only protects against
fire and condensation as well as offering good thermal resistance and
sound insulation it also offers the best value for the investment
DECREASE ENERGY USE
In addition to the obvious fire safetybenefits of properly insulating an HVACsystem there are numerous otheradvantages for the buildingrsquos ownersand operators One extremely importantbenefit is reduced heat transfer leadingto decreased energy use Tis generatesenormous savings in operating costsBy choosing an insulation solution thatretains its properties over the entirelifetime of the building the HVAC
system will also have a longer service lifeand require less maintenance
CONSIDER THE TOTAL COSTS
In order to choose an insulation solutionthat generates the lowest total costs thetotal lifetime cost of the installationmust be taken into account Te totallifetime cost is made up of materialand installation costs and operatingcosts which depend on energy pricesextent of use and maintenance forexample When the unlimited servicelife and lack of maintenance associated
with PAROC stone wool solutions isconsidered greater insulation thicknesscan obviously have a very positive effecton the total costs of an installation

Building costs
Te average cost of insulation istypically about 5ndash10 of the HVACsystemrsquos building costs An investmentin insulation easily results in substantialsavings in heating costs during thelifetime of the building
VALUE THE ENVIRONMENT
One of the biggest threats to theglobal environment is climate changecaused by greenhouse gases Buildingsconsume almost 40 of the primary
energy used in Europe Ventilation andair conditioning along with coolingsystems consume about 30 of theheating energy of new residentialbuildings
As well as leading to lower energyconsumption in the building the rightinsulation solution contributes to areduction in greenhouse gas emissions atthe energy generation level
Having a well-insulated HVACsystem not only reduces the energyconsumption for the benefit of theenvironment it also significantly
decreases the usage costs andmaintenance costs regardless of theheating and heat delivery system used

INSULATION FOR HVAC APPLICATIONS
EXCELLENT THERMAL INSUL ATION ON A WIDE
SERVICE RANGE
Te main purpose of thermal insulationis to prevent heat flow to or from theapplication to the surroundings Te
thermal conductivity of the insulationmaterial is one of its most importantproperties Stone wool has low thermalconductivity which makes it highlyresistant to heat transfer Reducingheat transfer results in direct savings inenergy usage and costs
Tere is a need for comfort coolingin buildings to keep the temperatureson a desired level When decidingon the insulation solution attentionshould be paid to the fact that it costsapproximately three times more tosupply cooling than heating For this
reason it is important that comfortcooling pipes are insulated in the same
way as hot pipes taking into accountthe economic and environmentalaspects
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) should make our buildings comfortable healthy
and safe places in which to live and work It is not enough however just to install the pipes and ducts
Durable fire-safe and energy-efficient HVAC solutions must be built using durable fire-safe and
energy-efficient products All PAROC products are made of stone wool the properties of which make
it ideal for HVAC applications

LOW WATER ABSORPTION
Water absorption is an importantproperty since there are manyapplications where the insulation mightbe exposed to water high humidity orother liquids If the insulation absorbs
water this might increase damage
to the installation eg corrosion andalso dramatically lower the insulationproperties of the product
ests according to EN 1609 andEN 13472 prove that PAROC productsdo not absorb or store moisture Te
water absorption of PAROC stone woolproducts is clearly below the required1 kgmsup2 A building insulated withPAROC products stays dry whichguarantees healthy indoor air and along service life for the building and itsHVAC system

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution

O Products with facing need no
additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY

BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

DESIGN IS THE BASIS FOR BEST VALUE
In designing an HVAC system the accompanying insulation solution must
be carefully considered A good insulation solution not only protects against
fire and condensation as well as offering good thermal resistance and
sound insulation it also offers the best value for the investment
DECREASE ENERGY USE
In addition to the obvious fire safetybenefits of properly insulating an HVACsystem there are numerous otheradvantages for the buildingrsquos ownersand operators One extremely importantbenefit is reduced heat transfer leadingto decreased energy use Tis generatesenormous savings in operating costsBy choosing an insulation solution thatretains its properties over the entirelifetime of the building the HVAC
system will also have a longer service lifeand require less maintenance
CONSIDER THE TOTAL COSTS
In order to choose an insulation solutionthat generates the lowest total costs thetotal lifetime cost of the installationmust be taken into account Te totallifetime cost is made up of materialand installation costs and operatingcosts which depend on energy pricesextent of use and maintenance forexample When the unlimited servicelife and lack of maintenance associated
with PAROC stone wool solutions isconsidered greater insulation thicknesscan obviously have a very positive effecton the total costs of an installation

Building costs
Te average cost of insulation istypically about 5ndash10 of the HVACsystemrsquos building costs An investmentin insulation easily results in substantialsavings in heating costs during thelifetime of the building
VALUE THE ENVIRONMENT
One of the biggest threats to theglobal environment is climate changecaused by greenhouse gases Buildingsconsume almost 40 of the primary
energy used in Europe Ventilation andair conditioning along with coolingsystems consume about 30 of theheating energy of new residentialbuildings
As well as leading to lower energyconsumption in the building the rightinsulation solution contributes to areduction in greenhouse gas emissions atthe energy generation level
Having a well-insulated HVACsystem not only reduces the energyconsumption for the benefit of theenvironment it also significantly
decreases the usage costs andmaintenance costs regardless of theheating and heat delivery system used

INSULATION FOR HVAC APPLICATIONS
EXCELLENT THERMAL INSUL ATION ON A WIDE
SERVICE RANGE
Te main purpose of thermal insulationis to prevent heat flow to or from theapplication to the surroundings Te
thermal conductivity of the insulationmaterial is one of its most importantproperties Stone wool has low thermalconductivity which makes it highlyresistant to heat transfer Reducingheat transfer results in direct savings inenergy usage and costs
Tere is a need for comfort coolingin buildings to keep the temperatureson a desired level When decidingon the insulation solution attentionshould be paid to the fact that it costsapproximately three times more tosupply cooling than heating For this
reason it is important that comfortcooling pipes are insulated in the same
way as hot pipes taking into accountthe economic and environmentalaspects
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) should make our buildings comfortable healthy
and safe places in which to live and work It is not enough however just to install the pipes and ducts
Durable fire-safe and energy-efficient HVAC solutions must be built using durable fire-safe and
energy-efficient products All PAROC products are made of stone wool the properties of which make

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution
ndash reduced CO2 emissions
O Products with facing need no
additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY

BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

INSULATION FOR HVAC APPLICATIONS
EXCELLENT THERMAL INSUL ATION ON A WIDE
SERVICE RANGE
Te main purpose of thermal insulationis to prevent heat flow to or from theapplication to the surroundings Te
thermal conductivity of the insulationmaterial is one of its most importantproperties Stone wool has low thermalconductivity which makes it highlyresistant to heat transfer Reducingheat transfer results in direct savings inenergy usage and costs
Tere is a need for comfort coolingin buildings to keep the temperatureson a desired level When decidingon the insulation solution attentionshould be paid to the fact that it costsapproximately three times more tosupply cooling than heating For this
reason it is important that comfortcooling pipes are insulated in the same
way as hot pipes taking into accountthe economic and environmentalaspects
Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) should make our buildings comfortable healthy
and safe places in which to live and work It is not enough however just to install the pipes and ducts
Durable fire-safe and energy-efficient HVAC solutions must be built using durable fire-safe and
energy-efficient products All PAROC products are made of stone wool the properties of which make

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution
ndash reduced CO2 emissions
O Products with facing need no
additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY
DIMENSION THE INSULATION SOLUT ION CALCULATIONS ARE
BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

Effective insulation is not restricted tostraight pipe sections as Paroc has agood solution for pipe elbows as wellPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat andPAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat areideal for thermal and condensationinsulation for pipes
In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
Effective insulation is not restricted tostraight pipe sections as Paroc has agood solution for pipe elbows as wellPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat andPAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat areideal for thermal and condensationinsulation for pipes
In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

FIRE983085RATED PIPE PENETRATIONS
Pipes passing from one fire area to another can
often present problems because they provide a
potential channel through which fire could spread in a
building There are several ways of ensuring that pipe
penetrations do not become a conduit for fire One
of them is to insulate the pipe penetrations with non-
combustible PAROC stone wool products
Pipe penetrations insulated with PAROC products providesuperior fire protection Pipe penetrations should be testedaccording to the harmonised EN 1366-3 standard Eventhough the testing standard is harmonised requirements and
solutions can vary from country to country Please ask yourlocal Paroc representative for more information about pipepenetrations

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
PAROC aluminium foil-faced mats lamella mats or even wired mats can all be used in thermal insulation applicationsinvolving round ducts while for rectangular ducts PAROCaluminium foil-faced slabs and lamella mats are ideal

FIRE PROTECTION OF VENTILATION DUCTS
Because ducts often pass from one fire area to another ventilation systems demand proper fire protection to prevent
fire from spreading inside the building PAROC products provide maintenance-free fire protection for the whole
lifetime of the installation
RELIABLE FIRE SAFETY
In addition to their insulatingproperties PAROC solutions providea reliable structural fire safety solutionthat can eliminate the need formechanical fire safety equipment suchas sprinklers and dampers
Buildings with a commercial ordomestic kitchen need flue ducts tocarry the fumes out of the buildingPAROC fire insulation products are
ideal for this application as they preventthe spread of fires caused by burning fatin the ducts
WALL PENETRATIONS
Wall penetrations are an important partof a fire-resistant duct system and it iscrucial that they are prepared accordingto an approved system PAROC stone
wool is an excellent material used inseveral solutions Te penetration mustbe designed so that the temperatureon the unexposed side does not get too
high but also prevents flames frompassing through the wall Penetrationsneed to be able to withstand fire for aslong as the wall does
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
PAROC products are classified asnon-combustible according to theEN ISO 1182 international standardPAROC wired mats fire slabs and pipesections can all be used for duct-related

When it is necessary to reducethe transportation of noise in theair flow it is effective to installPAROC InVent slabs inside the duct
NOISE REDUCTION OF VENTILATION DUCTS
Ventilation system equipment and the sound of air moving through ducts can create a lot of unwanted noise which
usually needs to be attenuated to make the environment more pleasant to live and work in Because of their porous
fibre structure and optimal density PAROC products are ideally suited to noise reduction solutions
INSULATION INSIDE THE DUCT
For sound insulation or attenuation applications Parocprovides a range of products which are the most commonform of sound insulation inside ducts
Te PAROC InVent product family has a number of slabsfaced with glass fabrics or tissues on either one or both sidesTey can be used inside ducts and as an absorbent materialinside sound dampers in ventilation systems Tese slabs havefacings which are strong enough to allow mechanical cleaningof the insides of the ducts

DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution

additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY

BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS
O
Full product range for pipes andpipe elbows ndash easy and fast
design
O Minimised heat loss ndash lower
energy cost
O Maintain the correct temperature
ndash prevent bacterial growth
O Environmentally effective solution
ndash reduced CO2 emissions
O Products with facing need no
additional cladding ndash time and
money saved in installation
O Fire-safe insulation material ndash
more evacuation time in case
of fire O Long-lasting maintenance-free
solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY

BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

Effective insulation is not restricted tostraight pipe sections as Paroc has agood solution for pipe elbows as wellPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat andPAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat areideal for thermal and condensationinsulation for pipes
In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

FIRE983085RATED PIPE PENETRATIONS
Pipes passing from one fire area to another can
often present problems because they provide a
potential channel through which fire could spread in a
building There are several ways of ensuring that pipe
penetrations do not become a conduit for fire One
of them is to insulate the pipe penetrations with non-
combustible PAROC stone wool products
Pipe penetrations insulated with PAROC products providesuperior fire protection Pipe penetrations should be testedaccording to the harmonised EN 1366-3 standard Eventhough the testing standard is harmonised requirements and
solutions can vary from country to country Please ask yourlocal Paroc representative for more information about pipepenetrations

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
PAROC aluminium foil-faced mats lamella mats or even wired mats can all be used in thermal insulation applicationsinvolving round ducts while for rectangular ducts PAROCaluminium foil-faced slabs and lamella mats are ideal

FIRE983085RATED PIPE PENETRATIONS
Pipes passing from one fire area to another can
often present problems because they provide a
potential channel through which fire could spread in a
building There are several ways of ensuring that pipe
penetrations do not become a conduit for fire One
of them is to insulate the pipe penetrations with non-
combustible PAROC stone wool products
Pipe penetrations insulated with PAROC products providesuperior fire protection Pipe penetrations should be testedaccording to the harmonised EN 1366-3 standard Eventhough the testing standard is harmonised requirements and

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR PIPING SYSTEMSPipes are integral parts of HVAC systems and their insulation requirements vary depending on whether they
transport warm or cold water The primary reason for insulating pipes is to keep the temperature of the water in
the pipes within the correct margins The benefit you get with the proper insulation solutions are reduced energy
consumption and lower operating costs
SAVING ENERGY
Hot water pipes and heating waterpipes are warm pipes and they need be
effectively insulated so that the water isat the right temperature where it is usedFurthermore by reducing heat lossthe insulation should minimise energyconsumption hence reducing operatingcosts Heating water pipes are insulatedin order to restrict heat loss to keepthe water inside the pipes warm andto ensure that the heat is transportedto the right place at the right timeSimilarly this is needed for cold pipessince it is even more expensive to reducethe temperature than to increase thetemperature of the medium in the pipe
BENEFITS OF PAROC PIPE INSULATIONS

solutions ndash investment for life
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Keeping the correct temperature inpipes prevents bacterial growth If
drinking water in cold pipes gets warm it can lead to bacterial growth(eg Legionnairesrsquo disease) within the
water Tis is obviously undesirableand an issue that authorities are takingincreasing notice of In order to ensurethat the water in cold water pipes stayscold the pipes must have sufficientthermal insulation to prevent heat fromthe surrounding environment beingtransferred to the pipes

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY

BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained

PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Warm air contains moisture that condenses when it meets acold surface Te surface must be insulated so that the outersurface temperature of the insulation becomes higher than thecondensation temperature of the surrounding air Over timecondensation can cause damage to pipes that reduces theirservice life
Te most important element in the insulation solutionin terms of reducing water vapour transmission is the watervapour barrier Paroc supplies a range of different productsfaced with an a luminium foil water vapour barrier for use incold pipe applications
PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING
If a cold water pipe is situated in an unheated area ndash outside orin a cellar for example ndash the pipe and its contents need to beprotected against freezing If the contents of the pipe freezenot only does the HVAC system cease to function but thepipes could burst causing extensive damage Te use of a goodthermal insulation solution the thickness depending on the
individual case offers effective protection against freezing
RIGHT PRODUCTS AND EASY DIMENSIONING
Paroc has a range of products and solutions that are speciallydesigned for both hot and cold pipes You can find the rightproduct for your application in the product selection tableon page 16 With the PAROC Calculus technical insulationcalculation program you can easily dimension the insulationsolution In order to use this software you will need to inputdata such as the pipe dimensions material temperature andambient temperature Te set applied insulation thicknessset heat loss or set surface temperature are also required tocomplete the calculations
WITH THE PAROC CALCULUS PROGRAM YOU CAN EASILY
DIMENSION THE INSULATION SOLUT ION CALCULATIONS ARE
BASED ON EQUATIONS DESCRIBED IN STANDARD EN ISO 12241
Surrounding air +22 ˚C RH 60
+4 ˚C
Aluminium foil
Outer surface temperature gt14 ˚C
When the outer temperature is +22 degC and the pipes innertemperature is +4 degC insulation is needed to preventcondensation Aluminium foil-faced insulation preventscondensation build-up which would not only damage the pipebut as seen on the un-insulated pipe drip and cause damage tosurrounding constructions
WARM PIPES
For hot water pipes any heat loss is energy loss which resultsin increased costs Only the boilers can heat the water to thecorrect temperature after which the pipes must ensure that itarrives at its destination at the right temperature ndash otherwisethe system cannot be considered to be functioning correctly
Alternatively a set heat loss may be required in orderto produce a set surface temperature in the pipe and the
insulation thickness needs to be calculated carefully in orderto achieve this In these cases insulation can be used toeliminate the risk of burns from the outer surface of the pipe
COLD PIPES
Cold water and comfort cooling pipes are insulated in order torestrict heat flowing from the surrounding environment to thepipes Te primary concern when insulating cold pipes is toprevent warming of the contents of the pipes in order to keeptheir temperature within the required margins and also toprevent condensation and freezing
Te regulations concerning allowed heat loss or maximum
surface temperatures vary from country to country and aredefined in local specifications and building codes For moreinformation please check your country website

Effective insulation is not restricted tostraight pipe sections as Paroc has agood solution for pipe elbows as wellPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat andPAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat areideal for thermal and condensationinsulation for pipes
In most cases these products donrsquotrequire any additional cladding whichmakes the installation work quick andeasy If there is a need for insulation tohave an appearance that blends into thebackground we recommend PAROCHvac GreyCoat sections and bends
Use PAROC Hvac Bend AluCoat to insulate the pipe elbows as effectively as straight pipesTe insulation work is quick easy and error-free
Pipes insulated with PAROC Hvac SectionGreyCoat products
DRAINPIPES AND WASTEWATER PIPES
When cold rainwater is led from the roof through the building the drainpipe shouldbe insulated against condensation to prevent the warm indoor air from condensingon the pipe Te best product for this purpose is PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with all joints carefully taped Similarly wastewater pipes inside buildings need to beinsulated against condensation and depending on local specifications should also beinsulated against fire and sound in certain areas Tis is normally done with PAROCPro Wired Mat 100 or PAROC Pro Section 100
INSTALLATION
In addition to the material properties ofthe insulation solution the effectivenessof the solution depends greatly on how
well it is installedPAROC Hvac Section AluCoat
with its self-adhesive tape in thelongitudinal joint makes insulatingpipes quick and easy We recommendtaping the radial joints separately andadding spiral steel wire to ensure long-term fixing
In case of condensation insulationall joints need to be well taped to ensurethat water vapour from the surrounding
warmer environment does not come intocontact with the colder pipe surface andcause condensation
Wastewater pipes are fitted with PAROC pipe sections primarily to insulate against fire and sound Sometimes thermalinsulation is also needed
Drainpipes inside the building areinsulated with PAROC Hvac Section AluCoat to protect against condensation
SMOKE AND EXHAUST PIPES
Smoke and exhaust pipes are exposedto very high temperatures in everydayuse Terefore they require a non-combustible insulation solution thatkeeps its form and compression strengtheven at high temperatures ensuringthat the fire-resistance properties areretained
PAROC Pro Section 100 andPAROC Pro Wired Mat 100 provideexcellent thermal insulation and fireprotection for your pipes Insulation alsoincreases the service life of the pipes bypreventing flue gases from cooling to
the point where they would condenseand leave corrosive deposits on the innersurface of the pipe

FIRE983085RATED PIPE PENETRATIONS
Pipes passing from one fire area to another can
often present problems because they provide a
potential channel through which fire could spread in a
building There are several ways of ensuring that pipe
penetrations do not become a conduit for fire One
of them is to insulate the pipe penetrations with non-
combustible PAROC stone wool products
Pipe penetrations insulated with PAROC products providesuperior fire protection Pipe penetrations should be testedaccording to the harmonised EN 1366-3 standard Eventhough the testing standard is harmonised requirements and
solutions can vary from country to country Please ask yourlocal Paroc representative for more information about pipepenetrations

INSULATION SOLUTIONS FOR VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Ventilation systems require insulating for a number of reasons fire
thermal sound and condensation insulation both individually and in any
combination Paroc has a wide range of advanced products and testedsolutions that are specially designed to answer the insulation requirements
of ventilation systems
THERMAL INSULATION
Ventilation systems require thermalinsulation in order to restrict andcontrol heat loss In ducts that transport
warm air reducing unnecessary heatloss is financially and environmentallybeneficial By properly insulating theducts you will restrict the unwantedheating of the surrounding environment
and reduce the energy usage whichsaves you money
CONDENSATION INSULATION
With a high humidity air can easilycondense on the outer surface of ductscontaining material with a lowertemperature than the ambient airtemperature Once this has happenedthe water can start dripping and causedamage and discoloration to ceilings andfloors Over time it can cause damage to
the ducts that reduces their service life With the correct insulation solution thiskind of condensation is prevented andthe service life of the ducts is prolonged

WARM AIR
When transporting warm air through long ventilation ductsthe temperature of the air should be kept at the specifiedtemperature If a specific heat loss is required the insta llationspecifications must be taken into account when planning theinsulation solution and its thickness Tis is most easily doneusing our free dimensioning software PAROC Calculus
which is available from our website at wwwparoccom
COOL AIR
Ducts that transport cool air also need a good thermalinsulation solution because it costs approximately three timesmore to provide cooling compared to heating Another purposeof insulation is to prevent condensation by maintaining thelower temperature inside the duct through insulating themfrom the warmer ambient air temperature If the cool air in theduct is heated by the surrounding air not only will the HVACsystem function less effectively but more energy will be neededto maintain the correct temperature of the duct
With properly insulated ducts this is easily achieved
meaning the whole ventilation system can work as designedand less equipment calibration is required

FIRE PROTECTION OF VENTILATION DUCTS
Because ducts often pass from one fire area to another ventilation systems demand proper fire protection to prevent
fire from spreading inside the building PAROC products provide maintenance-free fire protection for the whole
lifetime of the installation
RELIABLE FIRE SAFETY
In addition to their insulatingproperties PAROC solutions providea reliable structural fire safety solutionthat can eliminate the need formechanical fire safety equipment suchas sprinklers and dampers
Buildings with a commercial ordomestic kitchen need flue ducts tocarry the fumes out of the buildingPAROC fire insulation products are
ideal for this application as they preventthe spread of fires caused by burning fatin the ducts
WALL PENETRATIONS
Wall penetrations are an important partof a fire-resistant duct system and it iscrucial that they are prepared accordingto an approved system PAROC stone
wool is an excellent material used inseveral solutions Te penetration mustbe designed so that the temperatureon the unexposed side does not get too
high but also prevents flames frompassing through the wall Penetrationsneed to be able to withstand fire for aslong as the wall does
PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS
PAROC products are classified asnon-combustible according to theEN ISO 1182 international standardPAROC wired mats fire slabs and pipesections can all be used for duct-related
fire insulation applications in all typesof structures and solutions withoutrestrictions Not all products on themarket classified as non-combustiblecan be used as fire insulation
esting of fire-resistant ducts can beperformed according to the harmonisedEN 1366-1 standard Even though thetesting can be carried out according toa harmonised standard fire regulationsvary from country to country Inaddition to the information given hereand on our website your local Paroc
representative will be happy to provideyou with further details about localregulations
Fire insulation of the ventilationsystem can be carried out with PAROCfire slabs for rectangular ducts andPAROC wired mats for both circularand rectangular ducts Slabs are fixed

On circular ducts the wired mat is cutto the right length according to the outerdiameter of the insulation Te pieces ofmat are fixed to each other from the neteither with separate wire hooks or byrounding the eyes of the net together
With long vertical ducts the insulationneeds to be fixed to the concrete buildingstructure Tis can be done with steel wireor steel bars and wire Methods vary locallyso please check the valid requirements
Rectangular ducts close to a fireproofceiling are fixed with pins If the distance from the duct to the ceiling is less than therequired fire insulation thickness the upper
side is allowed to remain uninsulated Ifthe distance is the same only part of theupper side requires insulation Because therules and regulations vary from countryto country they must always be checkedlocally

When it is necessary to reducethe transportation of noise in theair flow it is effective to installPAROC InVent slabs inside the duct
NOISE REDUCTION OF VENTILATION DUCTS
Ventilation system equipment and the sound of air moving through ducts can create a lot of unwanted noise which
usually needs to be attenuated to make the environment more pleasant to live and work in Because of their porous
fibre structure and optimal density PAROC products are ideally suited to noise reduction solutions
INSULATION INSIDE THE DUCT
For sound insulation or attenuation applications Parocprovides a range of products which are the most commonform of sound insulation inside ducts
Te PAROC InVent product family has a number of slabsfaced with glass fabrics or tissues on either one or both sidesTey can be used inside ducts and as an absorbent materialinside sound dampers in ventilation systems Tese slabs havefacings which are strong enough to allow mechanical cleaningof the insides of the ducts
INSULATION OUTSIDE THE DUCTDucts work as a sound channel carrying sound from oneroom to another Te insulation used outside the duct helps toreduce the amount of sound escaping through the duct wallPAROC Hvac wired mats and slabs are ideal for this purpose
