Yuci Power Plant Extraction Steam Pipeline Insulation Upgraded with AG-F Aerogel Blanket

A power generation enterprise in Yuci selected AG-F Aerogel Insulation Blanket for thermal insulation of the extraction steam pipeline of Unit 2, targeting reliable long-term thermal performance and reduced heat loss in a demanding power generation environment.Extraction steam pipelines in thermal power plants operate under sustained high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. Conventional insulation materials in such environments are susceptible to moisture absorption, thermal degradation, and mechanical settlement over time, leading to progressive heat loss increases, inconsistent steam temperature delivery, and escalating maintenance requirements. For power generation units where steam extraction efficiency directly affects overall plant thermal efficiency and output, insulation performance is a critical operational parameter.AG-F Aerogel Blanket was specified for this application based on its thermal conductivity of 0.021 W/(m·K), stable performance across the full operating temperature range of extraction steam systems, and superior hydrophobicity exceeding 99% that eliminates moisture-related performance degradation characteristic of traditional fiber insulation in steam pipeline environments. The blanket's flexible, semi-rigid construction enabled efficient fitting around the pipeline geometry, valves, and connection points of the extraction steam system.Following supply and installation completion, AG-F Aerogel Blanket effectively maintains the thermal insulation performance of the extraction steam pipeline, reducing heat loss across the insulated system and ensuring stable steam temperature delivery to support consistent unit operation. This application validates AG-F's reliable performance in power plant pipeline insulation scenarios where sustained thermal efficiency and long service life are essential operational requirements.
