Mechanical systems

heating and cooling systems distribute heat throughout buildings by
means of pipe or ductwork. Insulating these pipes using pipe
insulationreduces energy into unoccupied rooms and prevents condensation
from occurring on cold and chilled pipework.
Pipe insulation is also used on water supply pipework to help delay pipe freezing for an acceptable length time.

and re-entry place severe mechanical stresses on spacecraft, so the
strength of an insulator is critically important (as seen by the failure
of insulating foam on the Space Shuttle Columbia). Re-entry through the
atmosphere generates very high temperatures due to compression of the
air at high speeds. Insulators must meet demanding physical properties
beyond their thermal transfer retardant properties. E.g. reinforced
carbon-carbon composite nose cone and silica fiber tiles of the Space
Shuttle. See also Insulative paint.

Main article: Exhaust Heat Management
Internal combustion engines produce a lot of heat during their combustion cycle. This can have a negative effect when it reaches various heat-sensitive components such as sensors, batteries and starter motors. As a result, thermal insulation is necessary to prevent the heat from the exhaust reaching these components High performance cars often use thermal insulation as a means to increase engine performance.
