Use and maintenance of vacuum insulated tubes
Vacuum insulated tubes are used in industry and technology to reduce heat transfer, maintain stable vacuum levels, and ensure efficient operation of systems. In order to ensure the performance of the vacuum insulated tube and extend its service life, a series of operations and precautions must be followed during use and maintenance.
1. Regularly check the appearance:
Regular inspection of the appearance of vacuum insulated tubes is the first step in maintenance work. Through visual inspection, look for possible cracks, dents, rust and other surface defects. Identifying and dealing with these issues promptly can help prevent further damage.
2. Clean surface dirt:
Dirt, dust or other impurities on the surface of vacuum insulated tubes may affect their insulating properties. Clean the surface regularly, using a soft cloth, brush or compressed air to ensure that the surface of the insulated pipe remains clean.
3. Check sealing performance:
Sealing performance is an important characteristic of vacuum insulated tubes and is crucial to their maintenance. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the pipeline regularly and observe changes in vacuum degree. If it is found that the vacuum degree drops rapidly, it may be due to a problem with the sealing performance, and the seal needs to be repaired or replaced.
4. Prevent physical damage:
During the use of vacuum insulated tubes, violent physical activities should be avoided to prevent mechanical damage. Keep your surroundings tidy to reduce the risk of impacts, crushing or other possible damage to pipes.
5. Avoid chemical corrosion:
Vacuum insulated tubes should be protected from exposure to environments that may cause chemical corrosion. Where pipes are made from materials that are sensitive to certain chemicals, take steps to ensure that the pipes are free of these chemicals that may adversely affect them.
6. Test performance regularly:
Regularly conduct performance tests such as vacuum degree, pressure resistance and thermal conductivity. Through these tests, it can be discovered in time whether the pipeline still meets the design requirements, ensuring that its insulation performance is effectively maintained.
7. Prevent excessive temperature changes:
Avoid pipes experiencing extreme temperature changes in a short period of time. Rapid temperature changes can have a negative impact on the performance of vacuum insulated tubes, so where possible, take steps to gradually adjust the temperature.
8. Check interfaces and connections regularly:
Regularly check the connecting parts of the vacuum insulated tube to ensure that the sealing performance of the interface and connecting parts is good. If loose or damaged, repair or replace immediately.
9. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations:
Follow the maintenance recommendations and instruction manual provided by the vacuum insulated tube manufacturer. Manufacturers often provide detailed maintenance guidelines that include recommended cleaning methods, frequency of inspections, and other considerations.
