Electricians Mate 2nd Class Sliwo Samano (center), a reservist with the Navy’s Surge Maintenance program, carefully applies a thin sheet of polymer-aerogel insulation — referred to as “lagging” aboard U.S. Navy vessels — on a water supply pipe under the watchful eyes of Peter Sites (left), research and development manager, and Jeff Nash, chief technology officer, of OROS. The experiment on Aug. 24 was part of the Repair Technology Exercise, or REPTX, held at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD). The 1-millimeter heat shield replaced a section of 1-inch fiberglass insulation, while providing a reduced surface temperature to prevent condensation from building up on the water pipe, located inside an electrical room aboard the Self Defense Test Ship.
