Savings and safety: Nuclear power plants rely on special insulating paint
Czech nuclear power plants are implementing innovative technology to increase the efficiency and safety of operations. The special reflective insulating paint ALPHA TEMPER from the Czech company ALPHA CZECH brings significant energy savings and at the same time protects employees from burns.
Innovative solution ALPHA TEMPER and its application in practice
Nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic have started to use modern reflective insulating paints, specifically the product ALPHA TEMPER. This technology, based on a unique binder containing microspheres, allows for the effective insulation of hot surfaces such as pipes, elbows and valves. One of the biggest advantages is the possibility of applying the paint during full operation to surfaces with a temperature of up to +220 °C. This eliminates costly shutdowns and increases operational flexibility.
In operations where the steam temperature reaches up to +270 °C, this paint has proven to be a highly effective solution. Moreover, the application is fast and allows to insulate even hard-to-reach or complex-shaped places where the use of conventional insulation would be problematic.
Key benefits: From energy savings to worker protection
The main benefit of ALPHA TEMPER coating is its ability to prevent heat loss, which leads to demonstrable energy savings. The technology reflects a significant part of thermal radiation and thus reduces the energy consumption of the equipment.
An equally important aspect is the increase in occupational safety (OHS). Even a thin layer of coating with a thickness of only half a centimeter can reduce the surface temperature.
