Abstract:
A breathable, multi-layer exhaust insulation system is provided. The system includes a multi-layer sleeve, wherein the first layer, which is positioned adjacent the exhaust system pipes, is a braided sleeve which may be constructed from high-temperature resistant materials such as e-glass, s-glass, silica or ceramic. Additional braided layers of material may be included, as well. An outside cover of material is preferably a circular knitted fabric that contains glass fibers and resin-based fibers. The knitted fabric forms a tube on the outside of the insulating layers, and may be formed from a core spun yarn, which includes a glass filament core and a high-melt fiber on the wrap. Optionally, the system may also include a perforated or unperforated metal foil layer and/or a tape wrap, and the various components may be configured as desired.

Claim (Index 1):
A breathable, multi-component exhaust insulation sleeve for an exhaust pipe, said insulation sleeve comprising:\n an inner layer comprising a braided fabric made from a first high-temperature resistant material forming a sleeve, wherein said sleeve is configured to be positioned adjacent to and disposed about an outer surface of a section of the exhaust pipe; and an outer cover layer comprising a circular knitted fabric including yarns comprising glass fibers and heat cured thermoplastic resin-based fibers, wherein the outer cover layer is positioned adjacent to and disposed over the inner layer, wherein the yarns are fused together, wherein the fused yarns dimensionally stabilize and stiffen the outer cover layer around the inner layer.
