Abstract
An encasement for heat transfer fluid (HTF) conduits having an outer layer (1) of sheet metal and an intermediate layer (2) below the outer layer (1). The intermediate layer (2) is made of insulating material having a maximum thickness of 1.4 inches (35 mm). The heat transfer fluid (HTF) conduits are movable.
Claims14
An encasement for movable heat transfer fluid conduits, comprising:
- a first cylindrical encasement segment comprising:
- a box adapted to envelop a rotating joint of a heat transfer fluid conduit and to absorb rotational movement of the rotating joint;
- and
- a first assembly flange;
- and
- a second cylindrical encasement segment adapted to envelop a section of the heat transfer fluid conduit, the section being connected to the rotating joint, the second cylindrical encasement section comprising:
- a second assembly flange;
- each of the first cylindrical encasement segment and the second cylindrical encasement segment comprising:
- an outer layer comprising sheet metal;
- and
- an intermediate layer located below the outer layer, said intermediate layer being made of insulating material having a maximum thickness of 1.4 inches;
- wherein:
- the first cylindrical encasement segment is adapted to be coupled to the second cylindrical encasement segment;
- and
- the first and second assembly flanges are adapted to axially connect the first cylindrical encasement to the second cylindrical encasement segment and provide clearance between the box of the first cylindrical encasement segment and the second cylindrical encasement segment.
