Advice On Aircon Insulation

[therat 18]

Would like to know anyone heard of Insulflex 5/8" ID X 1/4" TK 16X6?

When ppl say upgrade insulation to 1/2" is refer to ID or TK?

Thickness.

ID is determined by the size of the indoor unit capacity.

Actually, if really go follow manufacturer recommendation, aircon pipe in plastic trunking is considered severe condition, and wld require minimally 3/4 inch thickness. I went and kaypoh specify that.. wah... exposed trunking like elephant size.

can I say this is normal insulation.

Not yet upgraded?

If the indoor capacity is 9000 BTU X3 for system 3.

Is this insulation good enough?

Insulation is important depending on the operating environment.

If like typical use at nite type.. then not much significance.

but if say. use 18 hr daily, use during hot time like in false ceiling on top floor, where temp is very hot, then insulation is very important.

If not thick enough under severe condition, then sweating will occur. Sweating inside trunking.. = moldew stains, or worse, appear as water stain on wall.

My aircon service guy always complain say my insulation feel like wet sponge. Is a scary thot what the sponge really looks like.

Renovation really has alot of things to learn and most of the thing is wait until thing happen.
