R10 -- Insulation Systems for Refrigerant Piping - (SI)
This chapter is a guide to specifying insulation systems for refrigeration piping, fittings, and vessels operated at temperatures ranging from 35 to 100F. It does not deal with HVAC systems or applications such as chilled-water systems. Refer to Chapters 23, 25, 26, and 27 in the 2009 ASHRAE Handbook--Fundamentals for information about insulation and vapor barriers for these systems.
