A Comprehensive Overview of Container Heat Insulation and Fire Protection

9/22/2023

 
Container heat insulation and fire protection design involves creating a system within a container to safeguard its contents from external temperature fluctuations and fire hazards. This system typically incorporates insulation materials such as rock wool, glass wool, and polyurethane, along with fireproof materials like fireproof boards and coatings.
 
TLS offshore containers are engineered to meet the A60 fire protection standard, typically utilizing rock wool as an insulating material. Rock wool, composed of basalt or lava mineral fibers, offers several advantageous properties:
  1. High Temperature Stability: Rock wool can maintain consistent insulation performance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for insulating high-temperature equipment.
  2. Excellent Thermal Insulation: With low thermal conductivity and high insulation capabilities, rock wool effectively reduces energy loss and lowers energy consumption.
  3. Superior Fire Resistance: Rock wool is non-combustible and will not ignite or melt, providing effective fire isolation and reducing fire risks.
  4. Sound Absorption: Its fiber structure enables rock wool to absorb sound waves, diminishing noise transmission and enhancing indoor comfort.
  5. Environmental and Health Benefits: Rock wool products are free from harmful substances, do not emit noxious gases, and are safe for both the environment and human health.
 
Employing rock wool as an insulation material in containers offers benefits in terms of thermal insulation, fire resistance, soundproofing, and environmental sustainability. When designing an insulation system, it's crucial to consider factors like insulation requirements, cost, and durability to determine the appropriate rock wool thickness and density. Additionally, compliance with relevant fire protection and environmental standards must be adhered to during installation.
 
In container heat insulation and fire protection design, several key aspects should be considered:
  1. Insulation Design and Method: Determine the location and method of insulation. Typically, the insulation layer can be placed on the container's inner walls, roof, and floor. You can choose between a double-layer or single-layer insulation structure based on your specific needs.
  2. Fire Protection Layer and Methods: Decide on the placement and methods for the fire protection layer. Generally, the fireproof layer should cover the inner walls, roof, and floor. Materials such as fireproof boards and coatings can be used to enhance fire resistance.
  3. Fire Protection System Design: Consider the design of a comprehensive fire protection system, including fire water sources, sprinklers, smoke detectors, and other necessary components.
  4. Operator Safety: Ensure operator safety by addressing factors such as adequate lighting and ventilation systems within the container.
 
Container heat insulation and fire protection design is a multifaceted endeavor, requiring a holistic approach to factors like insulation, fire protection, fire prevention systems, and operator safety. Throughout the design process, factors like cargo type, container characteristics, and budget constraints must be thoughtfully considered to determine the most suitable heat insulation and fire protection scheme.
