Generator ExhaustGenerator exhaust piping and mufflers may require insulation depending upon their location and the location of the exhaust discharge. As operating temperatures of these systems can reach 1000⁰, insulation is required for personnel protection, heat gain, and protection of adjacent surfaces.
Calcium silicate is the standard insulation product for this application, but mineral wool and ceramic fiber products can be provided as alternatives. Flexible connections, flanges, expansion joints, and mufflers are often insulated with removable pads for ease of future access and maintenance. |
