In the marine industry, insulation mattresses are essential to guarantee thermal protection of critical components such as engine exhausts, fuel piping, and steam systems in engine rooms.

These systems must comply with rigorous maritime safety standards while optimizing energy efficiency and extending the life of the installations.

Why insulate marine installations?

protection of critical systems

Engine exhausts and fuel pipes are essential to the smooth running of a ship, but they are also highly exposed to thermal stress. Engines can reach extreme temperatures, and fuel pipes have to operate under pressure, carrying flammable liquids. In the absence of adequate protection, these elements can be subject to serious incidents, such as overheating or even ignition of the fuel.

Thermal insulation, in particular with high-performance insulation mattresses helps to protect these components by maintaining safe temperatures. It considerably reduces the risk of overheating, and prevents damage caused by rapid temperature changes, particularly when pipes are routed between the engine room, which is often very hot, and the outside of the ship, where temperatures are lower.

Compliance with marine safety standards

International safety standards require the insulation of fuel pipes to prevent the risk of fire at sea. By using suitable insulation blankets, shipowners and shipyards can ensure strict compliance with these regulations, reducing the risk of incidents at sea.

These measures are not only a necessity to protect the crew and the ship, but also represent an advantage in terms of reliability and reputation for shipping companies.

Advantages of Calomatech insulating mattresses

Safety and energy efficiency

Insulating blankets provide optimum thermal protection, stabilizing fuel temperature for more efficient combustion. Indeed, fuel maintained at a constant temperature ensures optimal engine performance, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

What’s more, by protecting installations from thermal stress, insulation mattresses help to extend the life of systems, limiting maintenance requirements and downtime.

Residential building insulation

Noise reduction

In addition to thermal protection, insulation mattresses offer acoustic benefits. In an engine room, engines produce loud, continuous sounds that can become very annoying for the crew.

The acoustic insulation built into the mattresses helps reduce noise pollution, contributing to improved working comfort on board. This is particularly important for shipyards seeking to improve working conditions for technicians and meet modern comfort requirements on board vessels.

The benefits of Calomatech insulating mattresses

Thermal insulation and increased strength

At Calomatech, we use materials resistant to temperatures of up to 1000°C, specially designed for the marine sector. Thanks to this robustness, Calomatech insulation blankets are able to withstand the most extreme conditions of marine environments, including intense engine heat and constant humidity at sea.

What’s more, our mattresses are approved for the maritime sector, guaranteeing compliance with current standards such as fire and chemical resistance.

 

Residential plate heat exchanger insulation

Easy installation and maintenance

The modularity of our insulation mattresses is another major advantage. Unlike rigid insulation systems, these blankets are flexible and can be quickly removed and reinstalled, facilitating equipment maintenance and repair operations. This rapid intervention reduces downtime, optimizing vessel availability for shipping companies.

Durability and resistance to marine aggression

Our insulation mattresses are also designed to resist chemical aggression and corrosion, two major problems in marine environments. Constant exposure to salty air and the various fluids used on a ship can accelerate the degradation of unprotected installations.

Thanks to materials specially selected for their durability, insulating blankets extend the life of equipment by preventing early deterioration.
