Abstract
Heat-insulating pipe element of a pipe for conveying flue gases comprising a metal outer tube, a metal inner tube fitted co-axially in the outer tube by fixing means in a substantially immovable relation to the outer tube and a heat-insulating material being provided in the space between the tubes, whereby the fixing means comprises at least one elongate connecting element which is provided in longitudinal direction between the tubes and of which the extremities are connected with the respective end parts of the outer tube of which the central part is connected with the central part of the inner tube, and whereby the fixing means also comprises the insulating material, in the form of a continuous insulating layer, having a coherent, fibrous resilient structure.
Claims5
A heat-insulating pipe element of a pipe for conveying flue gases, comprising, an elongated metal inner tube, an elongated metal outer tube surrounding said inner tube in spaced relation and coaxial therewith, said tubes defining an annular space therebetween, a continuous layer of insulating material, having a coherent, fibrous resilient structure, located within said annular space in contact with both said tubes for resiliently maintaining a coaxial relationship therebetween, at least one elongated connecting element disposed within said annular space for securing said tubes together against relative axis movement, said element being connected to said tubes at only three locations and having only a central portion thereof connected with a central portion of said inner tube, and having only opposite end portions thereof connected with end portions of said outer tube.
