Thermal Cladding and Insulation

Thermal Cladding & Insulation

Thermal Cladding and Insulation (including integrated heat shields): There are many areas where our high temperature ducts and systems operate in close proximity to heat sensitive components and assemblies.

 

For these situations, SST Technology has developed a range of thermal management solutions that significantly reduce the heat transfer to the surrounding areas.
The technology involves a thermal barrier material that acts as an excellent insulator and as a high performance barrier to infra-red transmission meaning that these thermal management solutions offer the best performance in the elevated temperature range.


These high performance materials can be applied directly to a duct in the form of a cladding or lagging or as a separate insulating element in the form if a heat shield that can be either a self-supporting element or can be applied to the area that is being protected in the form of an integrated heat shield.

Heat Shields

A combination of industry leading CAD packages enhanced with bespoke in-house design software allows for maximum design flexibility. This supports product and materials development programmes which are proven and tested in the laboratory, on the dyno and on the track.

 

The heat shields are produced as self-supporting components. These are typically made up of an insulating layer encased in a protective outer covering. Heat shields come in many configurations and can be “clam shells” to cover hot components or complex shaped components to protect heat sensitive elements such as carbon fibre composite structures or electrical components and battery packs.

"Space efficient and light weight insulation solutions are available and are tailored to suit a variety of thermal requirements and packaging constraints."

Exhaust Lagging

The lagging materials are applied directly to the exhaust system and encased in a protective outer covering. Space efficient and light weight insulation solutions are available and are tailored to suit a variety of thermal requirements and packaging constraints.
