In industrial cooling water systems, equipment and pipelines often operate for extended periods, placing high demands on the durability and stability of insulation materials. Rubber and plastic insulation pipes, due to their closed-cell structure, flexibility, and low thermal conductivity, are widely used for insulation of cooling water pipelines.

Rubber and plastic materials effectively reduce temperature loss during cooling water transport, maintaining stable system efficiency. Their flexible material facilitates installation, allowing for close contact with pipes of varying diameters and curvatures, reducing thermal bridging caused by gaps. Furthermore, the material's lightweight nature facilitates construction at heights or in confined spaces, improving construction efficiency.

In practical applications, the appropriate thickness should be selected based on the system operating temperature, and the joints should be sealed to ensure a continuous and intact insulation layer. For outdoor pipelines, an outer protective layer can be added to enhance aging resistance and mechanical strength. Due to its stable overall performance, rubber and plastic insulation pipes have become one of the most common insulation materials in industrial cooling systems.
