| Title: |
High-performance insulation solutions for low temperature applications
|
| Abstract: |
A Flemish SME (BE) offers a range of microporous insulation solutions, exhibiting an exceptionally low thermal conductivity from temperatures of 70 °C down to cryogenic temperatures.Superior long term performance at low temperatures and minimum space requirements constitute the key advantages of vacuum insulation panels containing microporous cores.The technology is offered to application co-development for a wide range of markets (cold storage, household appliances, building applications a.o.)
|
| Description: |
The insulation technology offered relies on a microporous structure manufactured from mixtures of amorphous silica, opacifiers and polymer filaments. The insulation displays a thermal conductivity that is close to the lowest theoretically possible in any material. Vacuum insulation panels are high performance evacuated microporous insulation panels covered in an impermeable outer envelope; they are particularly useful at lower temperature environments when energy savings are to be considered, e.g. in buildings and refrigerators. The intrinsic thermal conductivity is very low, i.e. less than 5 mW/m.K at 10°C and at a vacuum level of 1-5 mbar.
Typical applications include household appliances (refrigerators and freezers), temperature controlled packaging (cold boxes and insulated shipping containers), temperature sensitive transport (refrigerated or deep chilled trucks) and the building industry (floor and roof insulation, terrace insulation, facade insulation, doors, elimination of thermal bridges and cold rooms).
The Flemish SME is looking for partners in different markets to develop new applications and tailor-made solutions using this insulation technology. The SME has a R&D and Engineering team with extensive knowhow.
Innovative Aspects:
- The microporous insulation solutions are much more efficient than classical insulation materials.
- Space and weight savings: 20 mm of vacuum insulation panel equals 100 mm PUR or 170 mm EPS
- Wide range of products and solutions
- Very low centre panel thermal conductivity (less than 5 mW/m.K for the vacuum panels)
- Environmentally safe, contains no harmful respirable fibres
- Fully recyclable insulation core
