Temperature and noise protection with Tmax-SONETHERM.

Better protection for people and machines from the heat generated by combustion, and ultimately fire, means greater productivity. And today there’s often another issue to address – noise reduction from main and auxiliary drive systems, particularly in urban and inner-city applications. With the highly effective Tmax-SONETHERM technology based on the well-known Tmax-Integral Insulation, we offer the perfect combination of temperature and noise protection.

| Highly effective insulation| Significant noise reduction| Straightforward maintenance| Robust and long-life construction

Temperature and noise protection Exhaust aftertreatment

Absolute temperature control within the exhaust aftertreatment system is the key challenge for compliance with Tier 3B / 4 final emission levels. Temperatures within the complete exhaust line are controlled in such a way that the optimum conditions are maintained for exhaust aftertreat-ment while protecting temperature-sensitive components from excessive heat transfer.

For exhaust pipework applications, Thermamax can design and manufacture tailor-made solutions for all production volumes. And particularly through the application of Tmax-Integral Insulation and Tmax-Blankets results can be achieved you would not have thought possible. And there’s a positive side-effect – the likelihood of reduced insurance premiums.

| Optimum surface temperature| Exhaust aftertreatment support| Prevention of urea crystallization| Robust and long-life construction

Less heat in the engine space: increased safety for people and machines.

Insulating hot components in heavy-duty applica-tions is a key requirement for protecting both personnel and the environment: the risk of fire and contact with harmful materials are elements that need to be eliminated in order to meet fire protec-tion regulations. And here Thermamax can offer easily removable insulating matting with a special coating.

This technology has the advantage of fulfilling all fire protection regulations as well as the health considerations associated with installing insulation and fiberbased materials. These design solutions are particularly suited for retrofits or small volume requirements.

| Reduced heat transfer into the engine space| Absolute protection against accidental contact| Simple installation and removal| Short development times

Found on just about every engine, these parts have the function of balancing the different axial and lateral movements of the various connected com-ponents within the exhaust system. From a thermal viewpoint they are often the weak link in an otherwise finely tuned exhaust line:

| Compensators| Flexible Sleeves| Bellows

The challenge here can be defined as how to close this loophole in the thermal system using highly flexible, effective insulation solutions. Fully enclosed metallic compensator insulations from Thermamax can be integrated into the overall system and reduce temperature loss in the con-struction equipment application.

| Low additional weight| Effective insulation| Stable system temperature| High flexibility

Effective insulation for “anything that moves”.

08 09Solutions for mining vehicles.Increase reliability, ensure fire and personalprotection, satisfy insurance companies,and simplify exhaust aftertreatment.

Whenever high-horsepower engines in construction site ap-plications are operating safely and efficiently, fulfilling the local exhaust emission standards without a problem, then it is likely that imaginative solutions from Thermamax are playing a part. Fire, personnel and failure protection are key concerns for construction site operators in particular.

A reduced risk of combustion due to high surface tempera-tures means reduced risk of machinery failure – and there-fore higher productivity. Thermamax solutions are found worldwide and are an important factor in lowering insurance premiums thanks to their superior fire protection.

Our wide experience from the on-highway market sector – where cleaner exhaust emissions have been the focus for many years – has strongly influenced our solutions for ex-haust aftertreatment in the mining industry. The effective support of exhaust aftertreatment systems through increased engine efficiency is one of our core areas of competence. | Increased reliability

Fire protection for mining applications.

From fire protection and accidental contact protec-tion to ease of maintenance and exhaust after-treatment support, reducing surface temperature is a key challenge for the mining industry.

In cooperation with leading engine manufacturers, Thermamax has designed a number of innovative solutions such as Tmax-Insulation Cladding. The high level of effectiveness we can reach in fire protection and reliability is undisputed and re-mains unmatched by others.

| Optimum surface temperature| Exhaust aftertreatment support| Ease of installation and removal| Robust and long-life construction

Insulation cladding for engines Exhaust manifolds and cast components

Due to their dimensional tolerances, cast exhaust manifolds and other cast components always put special demands on development and production processes. Any dimensional variations produced due to the method of production must be compen-sated for when moving to a reliable, series-pro-duction stage.

Thermamax has been designing numerous cus-tomized insulation solutions for cast components in engine rooms for many years, right up to the highest production volumes. The Tmax-Integral Insulation is the ideal, tried-and-tested solution. The insulation is enclosed by an outer shell of stainless steel or thin plate, forming a perfect en-closure around the component.

| Highly efficient insulation| Fire and accidental contact protection| High strength and resistance| Reduced heat transfer into the engine space

Flexible elements: effective insulation for compensators and flexible sleeves.

Compensators, flexible sleeves and bellows: these parts are found on just about every engine and have the function of balancing the different axial and lateral movements of the various connected components within the exhaust system. From a thermal viewpoint they are often the weak link in an otherwise finely tuned exhaust line.

The challenge here can be defined as how to close this loophole in the thermal system using highly flexible, effective insulation solutions. Fully en-closed metallic compensator insulations combined with Tmax-SKELTEC can close this loophole, be in-tegrated into the overall system and reduce tem-perature loss in the mining equipment application.

| Optimum equipment assemblies| Low additional weight| Effective insulation| Stable system temperature| Highly flexible

Compensators and flexible sleeves

Effective exhaust pipework insulation is not just important in mining applications because of the high insurance premiums.

These heavy-duty applications create very high temperatures and exhaust lines have to be protect-ed with the best possible insulation technology – Tmax-SKELTEC. This skeleton-like structure increas-es outer shell stiffness by up to 150 % with the same material thickness.

| Optimum surface temperature| Exhaust aftertreatment support| Robust and long-life construction| Weight saving of up to 50 %| Prevention of urea crystallization

The safest form of fire protection: reduced surface temperatures with minimal maintenance effort.

12 13Temperature-design for agricultural vehicles.Achieve Tier 3B / 4 final levels more easily andensure effective fire protection.

The technology to use internal combustion engines in agri-cultural machinery has been a godsend for the industry for more than 100 years. And as it happens, the first tractor was conceived in the same city that is home to Thermamax today. Time passes, but the need remains to ensure and in-deed to increase productivity and sustainability in agricul-tural applications through innovation.

With the application of more and more powerful machinery, the risk of fire is also increased. Excessive temperatures in the engine space or exhaust line can lead to the combustion of fine particles, causing huge problems for people and machinery. Reduction, or indeed elimination of this risk, can also have a very positive effect on insurance premiums. Demands on the environmental credentials of engines are now stricter than ever. EPA Tier 3B in the US, the impending EPA Tier 4 final, and the EU 3B are the standards which engine installations must meet now and in the future. Countless engine manufacturers and operators are already using a competitive “trump card“ – the long experience of Thermamax in all areas of high-temperature insulation, supporting clean emissions and fire protection.

Exhaust aftertreatment supported by Thermamax: the right temperature inside and outside.

The introduction of Tier 3B and Tier 4 final make requirements for the exhaust aftertreatment of drive systems used in agriculture increasingly de-manding.

In close cooperation with development engineers from the leading agricultural machinery manu-facturers, we ensure that our insulation solutions can control temperatures from the engine to the exhaust line so precisely that optimum conditions for combustion and clean emissions exist while temperature-sensitive components are protected from heat transfer. In particular, the use of Tmax-Integral Insulations and Tmax-SKELTEC has recently helped to achieve results for agricultural machinery that were previously not considered feasible.

Accidental contact protection, fire protection, and ease of maintenance.

Exhaust aftertreatment Fire protection

In difficult harvesting conditions, flammable dust can cause fires and lead to machinery breakdown. Financially, that is a big risk for the operator.

Insulation solutions developed by Thermamax for engine and exhaust lines prevent the build-up of combustible particles and have become the in-dustry standard for many large agricultural machines. Our heavy-duty, easily maintained Tmax-Insulation Claddings combine the benefits of fire and accidental contact protection with an improvement in exhaust emissions.

Achieve Tier 3B / 4 final and EU 3 B more easily and reduce fire risks.

Requirements for drive systems in Railroad applications are becoming increasingly stringent. As well as the safety as-pects – including fire protection and accidental contact pro-tection for both people and cargo, compliance with exhaust emission standards has become a key factor.

Employing Thermamax insulation technologies can make a significant contribution to the many challenges that exist. EPA Tier 3B in the US, the imminent EPA Tier 4f, and the EU 3B are the standards which engine installations must meet now and in the future. Countless engine manufacturers and operators are already using a competitive “trump card“ – the long experience of Thermamax in all areas of high-tem-perature insulation, noise insulation, and temperature con-trol. And as a long-term partner to the automobile industry, we understand the issues involved in standards compliance. Our approach to temperature design in the exhaust line has provided many solutions in a wide range of vehicles.

Effective heat transfer control.

Cast manifolds and other similar cast components present a particular problem to development and production departments because of their permitted dimensional tolerances. Any deviations from the nominal dimensions caused by the casting manu-facturing process must be compensated for in any subsequent series production, without com-promizing the process or creating losses.

Thermamax has been designing numerous cus-tomized insulation solutions for cast components in engine rooms for many years, right up to the highest production volumes. Tmax-Integral Insu-lation is the ideal, tried-and-tested solution. The insulation is enclosed by an outer shell of stainless steel or thin plate, forming a perfect enclosure around the component.

Exhaust line / Manifolds / Cast components Exhaust aftertreatment

A targeted temperature control in the exhaust after- treatment system is the key factor for compliance with exhaust emissions standards such as Tier 3B / Tier 4 final. For the drive systems in railroad applications, this means ever more demanding requirements.

Design concepts developed by Thermamax for ex-haust lines have become virtually standard solu-tions in many application areas. For railroad ap-plications, we can combine our Tmax-Insulation Matting with a special coating to improve exhaust figures, when required, for the purposes of fire protection, accidental contact protection, and health and safety considerations for operating and maintenance staff working near insulation materials.

| Exhaust aftertreatment support| Compliance with exhaust emission standards| Short development times| Simple maintenance

Flexible problems? Effective insulation for compensators and flexible sleeves.

These parts are found on just about every railroad drive system engine and have the function of balancing the different axial and lateral movements of the various connected components within the exhaust system.
