Abstract:
A device for thermally insulating regions of a fluid transport system, the device comprising:a flexible outer cover formed of a damage resistant and environment resistant material that is attached together so as to define a substantially enclosed bag with an opening; an insulative bag comprised of at least one layer of radiant barrier material and heat retention material attached together so as to define a substantially enclosed bag with an opening wherein the insulative bag is positioned within the opening of the flexible outer cover such that the outer cover and the insulative bag define an interior cavity with an opening sized to receive the fluid transport system; a sealing structure attached to the device adjacent the opening for the fluid transport system and positioned so as to removably seal the interior cavity of the insulative gas about the region of the fluid transport system; and a plurality of securing structures mounted to the device adjacent the opening so as to removably secure the device to the region of the fluid transport system.
