Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence.

Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes, as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.

Heat flow is an inevitable consequence of contact between objects of differing temperature.

Thermal insulation provides a region of insulation in which thermal conduction is reduced or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the lower-temperature body.

Electric heat tracing, heat tape, or surface heating, is a system used to maintain or raise the temperature of pipes and vessels.

Trace heating takes the form of an electrical heating element run in physical contact along the length of a pipe.

The pipe must then be covered with thermal insulation to retain heat losses from the pipe. The heat generated by the element then maintains the temperature of the pipe.

Trace heating may be used to protect pipes from freezing, to maintain a constant flow temperature in hot water systems, or to maintain process temperatures for piping that must transport substances that solidify at ambient temperatures.
