Tank & Vessel Lagging

Tanks, vessels and other large hot surfaces lose heat across their whole area, and because that area is large the losses can be substantial. Lagging them follows exactly the same principles as pipework, at bigger scale, and it shares pipework's great appeal: a continuous, hour-after-hour loss from a hot surface that is cheap to address and fast to repay. This lesson covers why vessels matter, how the loss is calculated, the lagging methods, and the access requirements that make removable jackets essential.
