Hexonic APFI LB60-10-20 insulation for heat exchanger, polyurethane foam, 30 mm
- Application: thermal insulation for heat exchangers in heating/cooling systems
- Material: polyurethane foam (PUR), aluminum cover
- Thickness: 30 mm
- Max working temperature: 135 °C
What APFI LB60-10-20 is for
This insulation shell is designed specifically for Hexonic LB60 series exchangers with 10-20 plates. Suitable for substations, DHW systems, geothermal heating, water-jacket fireplace generators, and low-flow cooling system exchangers. The aluminum cover provides mechanical protection and a clean appearance in the technical room.

Why insulation matters
- Heat loss reduction: an uninsulated exchanger loses 200-500 W (depending on size and T). Over a year — 1-4 MWh of wasted heat
- Personnel protection: surface temperature without insulation can reach 80-95 °C. With APFI — reduced to <40 °C (safe to touch)
- Condensate prevention in cooling systems: cold exchanger surfaces attract room humidity — insulation prevents dripping
- Regulatory compliance: most substation design standards mandate insulation
Installation
APFI insulation shells are installed on-site — wrapped around the exchanger. Consist of two parts (front and back) joined with clamps. Only ~40 mm of extra clearance around the exchanger is required. No special tools needed.

Frequently asked questions
Does APFI fit my exchanger?
This model fits Hexonic LB60 series exchangers with 10-20 plates. Other sizes — other APFI variants (see our catalogue). If unsure — provide the exchanger SKU and we will verify compatibility.
Can it be used in cooling systems?
Yes, down to -40 °C. In cooling systems APFI helps avoid condensate on cold surfaces. For very low temperatures (<-40 °C) — special "cold zone" insulation with an additional vapour barrier is needed.
Are special installation tools needed?
No. APFI shells snap on by hand and are secured with the included clamps. Installation takes about 10-15 minutes.
Can it be removed and reinstalled?
Yes. The design allows easy removal for service (e.g., CIP flushing) and reinstallation without damage.
