to further protect my ac lines.. anyone ever thought of putting foil under thermal wrap for even more protection/precautionary methods??

 

ive used foil for a thermal barrier. works perfect.

i had a coolant line runing kinda over my turbo manifold, and the foil kept it just fine. not i have a "sleeve" heat wrap over it. works great.

 

hmm.. anyone know how much thermal wrap i need for everything i need to wrap? (not sure exactly what i need to wrap)... the ac lines.. anything else?

it got my thermal wrap from summit

 

Put foil on the outside of the wrap. It'll do MUCH more being there.

The short of it is that it is actually a good conductor of heat, but doesn't absorb much from radiation. So having it down at the bottom really doesn't add any insulation at all, but having it on the outside severely limits how much radiation heat energy is reaching the hoses.

Keep in mind there are three forms of heat transfer - conduction(solids), convection(fluids) and radiation(EM radiation, like a heat lamp).

 

so how much thermal wrap did you guys have to use? is there anything else that NEEDS wrapping besides the a/c lines?
