What it is
The Ideal heat engine body insulation is a moulded thermal barrier that wraps the heat engine body on Ideal Commercial appliances. It reduces heat loss from the engine casing and keeps surface temperatures at the levels the appliance was designed for. This example is rated for 395kW units and is supplied under Ideal part number 178169.
