Fireproof thermal insulation method
View Patent ↗A multi-layer fireproof insulation roll for fireproofing and thermally insulating a tank car. The multi-layer fireproof insulation roll having a first layer with fire-retardant properties, a second layer having thermal insulating properties and a first strap. The first strap securing the first layer to the tank car. A method of fireproofing and insulating a tank car. A method of making a multi-layer fireproof insulation roll.
1. A method of fireproofing and insulating a tank car, comprising:
providing a multi-layer fireproof insulation roll, comprising:
a first layer having a first length, the first length substantially equal to a circumference of the tank car, the first layer being fire retardant,
a second layer positioned on the first layer and bonded thereto, the second layer having a second length, the second length being equal to the first length of the first layer, the second layer being thermally insulating, and
a first strap positioned between the first layer and the second layer, the first strap having a third length greater than the first length and the second length;
positioning the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll on a top surface of the tank car;
unrolling the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll, thereby wrapping the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll around the circumference of the tank car; and
securing the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll by pulling the first strap towards a bottom of the tank car.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising
positioning the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll in a rolled state on the top surface of the tank car, wherein a first longitudinal end and second longitudinal end of the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll are unrolled from a center of the multi-layer fireproof insulation roll in the multi-layer fireproof insulation rolled state.
