Line 1: Line 1:
Ceramic cloth is being used for high temperature insulation of pipes in this system.  The effectiveness of this cloth can be greatly increased by using airgaps with reflective barriers.  here, thin strips of ceramic cloth leave air gaps, and then the pipe is wrapped with a full layer of ceramic cloth with  aluminum foil (or a more resilient reflecting film) on the underside.  Small tacks hold the layers of cloth to the cloth spacers below them.
