    He has more than 25 years of experience in the flexible foam / insulation industry, mostly in the Technical / Marketing area. He is a member of ASTM, ASHRAE, NIA and NFPA as well as other industry organizations.  He has held several committee positions in these organizations including being given the Award of Merit and honorary title of ASTM Fellow.  Mr. Schmidt has written several articles on the subject of insulation for below ambient applications.  He is a graduate of Valparaiso University; Valparaiso, IN. with a Degree in chemistry.  He obtained an MBA from Indiana University.

    More on the Topic:

    Below ambient systems cover a wide range of applications and require special consideration vs. hot systems.  Insulation selection to prevent condensation requires a review of many factors other than those just found on a data sheet. Environmental and application parameters must be considered as well as the end customers’ expectations.   Various applications from chilled water, refrigeration to cryogenic and duct applications will be explored.  Outdoor applications require additional criteria.  Several new products/ options which have come on the market recently to improve the cost / performance of these type of systems will be discussed.
