'

Cylinder lagging is the practice of wrapping a protective cover around a boiler, heater, or other steam-generating cylinder, to protect against impact and wear, and to improve heat transfer efficiency. In essence, lagging acts as a thermal insulation layer which, when properly designed and installed, reduces energy costs by limiting heat loss and providing energy savings.

Cylinder lagging is generally made from a variety of materials, including fiberglass, urethane, rubber, and high-temperature silicone. Each material has its own set of benefits and considerations, but all serve the purpose of protecting the cylinder from damage, by providing insulation and a cushion against impact and abrasion.

The installation of cylinder lagging typically requires the removal of the cylinder from the unit, the cleaning of the cylinder, and the measuring, cutting, and application of the lagging material in a manner or position that ensures maximum efficiency.

Typically, the lagging material is applied in sections. Most sections of the lagging should overlap slightly to ensure that the cylinder is completely covered. Additionally, the lagging material should be secured with a fastener or adhesive to keep it in place, as well as to improve heat transfer efficiency.

Cylinder lagging plays an important role in the efficient operation of steam-generating equipment. The proper selection and installation of lagging can improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs, while providing an effective barrier between the cylinder and the environment.
