Abstract
The invention relates to a method of fabricating an insulation element () as an insulation box, cap or cover for a valve, a flange or a fitting insulation within a piping system of a technical building equipment. Said method comprising the steps of forming a block of insulating material to be provided with a cavity having a contour of the valve, the flange or the fitting insulation and an outer contour, whereby the block is divided into at least two parts, preferably two halves () of the insulation box, cap or cover, and forming a complementary insulating covering () having an inner contour according to the outer contour of the block. To provide a method of fabricating the insulation element () having increased properties in view of combustibility and being cost saving because of an easy and less complex method for manufacturing insulation elements () which can be used at least for a range of valves, flanges or fitting insulations within a piping system of a technical building equipment having different sizes and/or outer contours the insulation element () and the complementary insulating covering () are produced separately from each other and joined together, whereby the block is produced from mineral wool, i.e. mineral fibers bound with a binding agent, and the complementary insulating covering () is produced from a plastically deformable material being mechanically pressed or molded to be provided with the inner contour corresponding to the outer contour of the block provided with the cavity.
