Thermal Engineering

At Stein Metal we develop thermal engineering solutions to optimize insulation, reduce energy losses and ensure operational safety in high-temperature projects, Oil & Gas, and building/EPC projects.

We convert thermal data into clear decisions: optimal thicknesses, suitable materials, operating costs, and return on investment (ROI).

Main Services

  • Heat transfer studies (conduction, convection and radiation) for furnaces, ducts, tanks, pipes, equipment and thermal enclosures.

  • Calculation of thermal and energy losses (heat loss / thermal loss) and quantification of fuel or energy consumption.

  • Design and optimization of insulation thickness: selection of economic thickness and CAPEX vs OPEX balance.

  • Cold face temperature analysis to meet safety criteria for contact, operation and internal standards.

  • Technical-economic comparison of materials: mineral wool, ceramic fibre, calcium silicate, microporous, aerogel, insulating refractories and composite solutions (multilayer).

  • Assessment of condensation and moisture risk in buildings: dew point, thermal bridges and insulation performance.

  • 1D/2D/3D thermal modelling (as required): temperature profiles, heat fluxes, operating scenarios and sensitivity.

  • Specification engineering and EPC support: design bases, calculation reports, datasheets, installation criteria and quality control.
