Method of manufacturing spacers for pipe-in-pipe systems and spacer for a pipe-in-pipe structure

A method of manufacturing a spacer (26) for a pipe-in-pipe (30, 38) system comprises mixing aerogel particles (20) with a polymer (18) to form a mixture in which the particles (20) are dispersed in the polymer (18). The resulting mixture is moulded and the polymer is solidified to form the spacer (2...

Zusammenfassung:A method of manufacturing a spacer (26) for a pipe-in-pipe (30, 38) system comprises mixing aerogel particles (20) with a polymer (18) to form a mixture in which the particles (20) are dispersed in the polymer (18). The resulting mixture is moulded and the polymer is solidified to form the spacer (26) or a component of the spacer, in which the dispersed particles (20) are suspended in a matrix of the solidified polymer (18).
