ArmaWin™
App Helps You Specify
the Right Insulation Thickness
W
hen it comes to insulating mechanical systems,
good planning is half the battle. Choosing the right
insulation material and considering its impact on
the energy effi ciency of mechanical systems is crucial when
planning any HVAC project. Armacell's revamped ArmaWin
Professional Insulation Thickness Calculator app helps you
make the right calculations to avoid expensive disruptions and
reduce energy, operating costs, and CO2 emissions.
The main task of insulation on below-ambient equipment
is to prevent heat loss/gain and eliminate condensation. This
can't be achieved unless the proper thickness of insulation is
used-install too little and condensation will occur. The proper
elastomeric insulation thickness to prevent condensation and
heat loss on mechanical HVAC, plumbing and refrigeration
systems can vary according to climate and local regulations.
Taking the guesswork out of the specifi cation process is the
purpose of the ArmaWin app or online tool. To calculate the
correct insulation thickness, you need to know the following: the
object to be insulated, line temperature, ambient temperature,
relative humidity, and the location of the installation.
In addition to calculating the minimum insulation thickness
required for a particular application, ArmaWin can also
determine outer surface temperature, heat fl ow, temperature

changes in fl owing and stationary media, freezing times for
water pipes and the most economical insulation thicknesses,
with the shortest payback periods. It is a practical and simple-touse
tool for specifying Armacell's premium insulation products
to ensure they deliver the best possible performance.
The calculation of energy savings of the insulated object
compared to the uninsulated object are displayed as a
percentage. This helps planners, tendering authorities, and
insulators easily determine the higher savings potential of a
thicker insulation and demonstrate this to their clients.
With the revised app, you can now compare up to fi ve separate
projects and download a report. And while no login is required,
for convenience you can create an account where calculations
can be saved for as long as needed.
ArmaWin is available online as a web app that can be accessed
anytime with Chrome or Firefox browsers. Keep the power of
ArmaWin right in your pocket by downloading our ArmaWin
app for Apple iOS and Android operating systems to take it with
you to the jobsite or anywhere you need to make calculations
on-the-go. See how it can help you with your insulation projects
