Abstract
The insulation kit for covering a hot water boiler has a series of insulation panels joined to each other along straight joints and corner joints. Each of the straight joints and corner joints has elastic tape mounted transversely thereon in a stretched mode, for maintaining the joints in a compressed state. In another aspect, each vertical corner joint is a miter joint forming a right angle, and is made with abutting edges each having a 55° bevel angle thereon in a relaxed mode.
Claims10
A reservoir having an insulation kit mounted thereon, said reservoir having a flat top surface and a side surface;
- said insulation kit comprising;
- flat insulation panels each having a uniform thickness and comprising a top panel covering said flat top surface and a side panel covering said side surface;
- said top panel being larger than said top surface;
- said side panel being mounted for enclosing the edges of said top panel with compressive forces such that said top panel has a buckling therein, and said buckling forming a dead air space between said top panel and said top surface.
A hot water boiler having an insulation kit mounted thereon, said hot water boiler having a rectangular shape with, flat side surfaces;
- flat end surfaces and a flat top surface;
- said insulation kit comprising;
- a series of flat insulation panels each having a uniform thickness and comprising a top panel covering said flat top surface, and side panels and end panels covering said side surfaces and said end surfaces respectively;
- said top panel being wider and longer than said top surface;
- said side panels and said end panels being mounted around said heater and jointly enclosing the edges of said top panel,
- said side panels and said end panels enclosing said edges of said top panel with compressive forces such that said top panel has a buckling therein, and said buckling forming a dead air space having an arc-like cross-section under said top panel.
