The installation of insulating products in industrial facilities is of great importance, due to the reduction in energy consumption that it provides. Industrial processes worldwide account for more than 30% of total energy consumption, so chemical processes must be as efficient as possible, seeking energy savings with the same level of production. The development of this work consists of several chapters; In chapter I, we refer to the theoretical framework related to heat transfer, thermal conductivity of different materials, we explain the law that governs this transfer, such as Fourier's law, the different heat transfer mechanisms such as conduction, convection and radiation, average temperature difference in composite walls, as well as heat transfer through various insulators. In chapter II, we explain the optimization of heat consumption using thermal insulation in steam pipes, taking into account the energy and economic savings that this implies, the curves of fixed costs, variable costs, depending on the thickness of the insulating; the basic materials of the insulators are mentioned, as well as their characteristics. In chapter III, we calculate the annual heat loss in pipe without thermal insulation, we determine the hourly fuel consumption, we evaluate the heat loss, we explain the graphical method to calculate heat losses. In chapter IV, we calculate the heat loss in steam pipes with different thermal insulators such as: asbestos, glass wool, at the end the conclusions and recommendations are presented, as well as the bibliography used.
