Marine Oil & Gas Power Generation Automotive On-Highway Off-Highway Insulation Technologies for the Oil & Gas Market. Made in Germany. SOLAS Fire Protection IMO Standards Soundproofing Thermamax Hochtemperaturdämmungen GmbH, Germany Thermamax Inc., USA ( Understanding Temperature. )
Pioneering Insulation Technologies. Thermamax. DIN EN ISO 9001 DIN EN ISO 14001 DIN EN ISO 3834 96/98/EG Module D Mannheim-based Thermamax Hochtemperaturdämmungen GmbH and Thermamax Inc., with headquarters in Aurora, Illinois, are recognized worldwide as specialists in the design and manufacture of thermal and acoustic insulation systems for engine compartments and exhaust lines for diesel and gasoline engines, fuel cells, and electric drive systems. Thermamax is recognized for its comprehensive, processoriented approach. With its in-house research and test laboratories, extensive engineering capability, continuous investment in new production technologies, and early-stage cooperation with development engineers in the leading OEMs and Tier 1 supplier chain, Thermamax is able to propose unique solutions, tailor-made to meet all requirements. We were one of the first to offer 100% SOLAS-compliant solutions both for the marinization and the retrofitting of engines. Our insulation systems don t just retain the necessary process heat in the system, they also provide an effective protection for man and machine. The advantages are clear: Effective fire protection Higher machine reliability Ease of maintenance Easier compliance with IMO emission values Effective noise reduction

Fire protection without compromise: successful concepts from the development of new designs through to proven retrofitting solutions. Internal-combustion engines are indispensable for powering the machinery essential to on- and offshore operations. However, the high temperatures in the combustion process and the media employed can endanger crews and equipment. It is therefore essential that potential fire hazards are reduced to a minimum. Although the demands on appropriate fire prevention concepts are numerous, with the long-established and frequently proven concepts from Thermamax, they can be mastered quickly and easily. Noise reduction included. Numerous operators of on- and offshore platforms are already enjoying the benefits of Thermamax know-how and retrofitting technologies. Fire risks are significantly reduced wherever our complete housings for engines and exhaust systems are retrofitted which also has a positive effect on insurance premiums.

SOLAS Safety of Life at Sea: retrofitting solutions. Fire protection Highly effective fire protection meets easy maintenance and servicing. Rugged and durable modular system 100 % SOLAS-compliant Higher machine reliability Considerably easier maintenance Highly effective spray guards Extreme ease of maintenance High stability Extreme durability Traditional insulation concepts like simple insulating matting cannot cope with the long engine life cycles encountered particularly in on- and offshore environments. Conventional spray guards and heat shields are unable to offer sufficient protection against the penetration of flammable liquids. Thermamax retrofitting and modular insulation housings can be used to extend existing turbocharger housings or can be installed as a full housing solution for the engine block and turbocharger, as well as entire exhaust system. Thanks to our close collaboration with almost all leading manufacturers of marine engines, we possess the know-how you need. When engines on on- and offshore platforms run for many years, as it is often the case, the potential failure of fuel feed lines is fire hazard number one. Insurers also recognize these risk factors. What matters is when highly inflammable media escape, it is essential to ensure that they cannot catch fire. As fully encapsulated spray guards and heat shields, our modular insulation housings offer protection against the penetration of flammable liquids. This makes them a particularly effective weapon in the battle against the aforementioned fire hazards on on- and offshore platforms. We can also take care of the retrofitting.
06 07 Soundproofing Effective reduction of compressor noise. Noticeably reduced noise levels Easy maintenance Extreme durability High stability On- and Offshore platforms are a cramped living environment with many engines that create a high and constant level of background noise. Particularly the turbocharger compressors of large-scale engines generate an enormous amount of noise. Thermamax modular insulation housings not only offer extremely effective fire prevention for turbochargers, but, on request, can also provide noise suppression at the same time.
A forward-looking approach for more than 35 years. One principle has guided us since the founding of the company in 1976: Understanding Temperature. We ve made handling high temperatures in engines and exhaust systems our core mission. We continue to develop unique solutions and are recognize today as a specialist in the design and manufacture of thermal and acoustic insulation systems. You ll find our high-temperature insulation systems in both On- and Off-Highway vehicles, in Stationary Power Generation, in Ships, and on Oil Platforms both on land and at sea.
