Foam panels and blocks of hollow profiles, the manufacture thereof, and the use thereof as insulating and/or drainage panels

According to the present invention, novel foam panels and blocks are provided which are produced by welding and/or adhering foam tubes to one another. The foam panels are used particularly as insulating and/or drainage panels, and the foam blocks are used for the production of super lightweight panels the cavities of which are optionally filled with gypsum, cement, or other material. Composite structures made therefrom exhibit excellent sound-absorbent properties. Moreover, the invention provides a process and an apparatus for welding foamed synthetic resin tubes to one another and/or to other foam materials. The synthetic resin surfaces to be welded together are guided by way of a spacer means at a distance past an electrically heated heat source to form a heating channel where the surfaces are melted and pressed together thereafter. The process and the apparatus are suited especially well for welding foams of non-crosslinked low-density polyethylenes.

Tubular insulating casing for the thermal insulation of pipelines in heating and refrigerating systems

The production of numerous different tubular insulating casings for the numerous different outside diameters of pipes for heating and refrigerating lines is avoided in that, in the interior of the insulating casings, elastic, arcuate spacers bridge the gap between the inner side of the insulating wall and the outer side of the pipeline such that, even with totally different pipe diameters, the elastic, arcuate spacers rest on the pipeline to be insulated and air chambers are thus formed between pipeline and insulating-casing inner wall, the result being an additional insulating effect which saves energy.
