Thermal insulation is used to ensure that there is no loss or gain of heat in a medium, and therefore must be very well chosen considering the properties, applications and costs. It is used for protection, prevention, comfort and economy. The choice of insulation, the thickness and the method of application are extremely important to obtain good technical and economic results. The objective of the present article was to compile characteristics and properties of thermal insulation, exposing its applications in thermal products companies. Thus, information and research results were collected from articles, and grouped into insulation originating from animal, synthetic, vegetal, animal, vacuum compounds and gases. A questionnaire was also applied to manufacturers and users of thermal insulation, reporting on each insulation and its applications. The differences of each thermal insulation, its advantages and applications are noted. There is no insulator that fully has all the advantageous properties and characteristics. Therefore, the choice of the insulation should be thorough, opting for one which shows greater propensity to the desired application.

Energy conservation is an increasingly important issue for the dairy and food industry. Therefore, attention towards thermal insulation systems for plant equipment has grown in recent years. Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative influence. In this study, a literature review on different thermal insulation material with their properties, types and applications. The selection of optimal thermal insulation has great potential towards the energy saving

This article presents a feasibility study of a new polymer-ceramic composite material applied as a thermal insulator on the surface of a low net volume household refrigerator. This paper describes its manufacture in a succinct manner, and a thermal and energy comparison between the factory refrigerator and the refrigerator with the composite installed. Based on the experiments, it is concluded that when using the composite, the average internal temperature of the fridge is increased by 1°C, for practical and design purposes, the refrigerator still functions below 3°C. It was also found that at stable operating conditions the energy consumption using the composite saves approximately 1.5%. Despite these slight savings, the pyro-expanded perlite composite acts as a thermal isolating material. This material may exhibit better ease of use and thermal, energetic and economic benefits, without omitting the environmental characteristics that they favor.

Steelmaking slag and residues from granite cuttings are industrial wastes with considerable production, however limited applications. This work studied an inertization and recovery process of such wastes as raw materials into production of rock wool (i.e. a thermo-acoustic insulator with growing market). Several batches were produced aiming the chemical proprieties of a currently marketed rock wool. Mixtures were casted at temperatures of 1400-1500°C, then quenched in water and also poured into a Herty Viscosimeter. Produced materials with thickness smaller than 500µm were characterized by chemical analyses, XRD, SEM, EDS and DTA. ThermoCalc software was used to simulate the cooling curves of rock wools. Results showed that incorporation of wastes does not affect the main qualities of rock wool, the thermal insulation and prevention of fire spread. Raw material batches of rock wools may assimilate up to 66% of granite waste, or 53% steelmaking slag, or 70% combining both materials.

Laboratory data are presented on the effect of constant temperature aging on the apparent thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam insulation for refrigerators and freezers. The foam specimens were blown with HCFC-141b and with three of its potential replacements—HFC-134a, HFC-245fa, and cyclopentane. Specimens were aged at constant temperatures of 90 F, 40 F, and-10 F. Thermal conductivity measurements were made on two types of specimens: full-thickness simulated refrigerator panels containing foam enclosed between solid plastic sheets, and thin slices of core foam cut from similar panels. Results are presented for the first three years of a multi-year aging study. Preliminary comparisons of measured data with predictions of a mathematical aging model are presented.

The possibility to replace commonly used dedusting agents based on mineral oil with more sustainable vegetable oils as representatives of natural and environmental friendly materials is studied. Different anionic and nonionic emulsifying additives are studied as well. The stability of binder mixtures consisting of phenol-formaldehyde resin, urea, silane, and various dedusting agents is evaluated, and the adhesion of binder mixtures to the rock sand is analyzed by the sandbar test. Adequate stability of binder mixtures and high bending strength to break the bars are achieved when binder mixtures contained dedusting emulsions based on mineral or vegetable oil as well as their combination emulsified with lignosulfonate salt. The combination of mineral or vegetable oil with nonionic emulsifier on the other hand shows poor stability of binder mixtures. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 44165.

RESUMO Os materiais de isolamento térmico convencionais, tais como a lã de vidro e o poliestireno extrudado, possu-em importantes limitações técnicas. Os geopolímeros emergem como uma alternativa devido às suas excelen-tes propriedades. Neste trabalho, teve-se por objetivo descrever o desenvolvimento de geopolímeros de baixa condutividade térmica. Na produção dos geopolímeros utilizou-se metacaulim (Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2) que, devido à sua elevada reatividade, permite produzir polímeros inorgânicos, com propriedades físicas interessantes para aplicações em isolação térmica. Amostras de aluminossilicato foram ativadas com hidróxido de sódio (Na-OH) e silicato de sódio (Na 2 SiO 3). Amostras de geopolímeros leves foram produzidas com adição de diferen-tes percentagens de um formador de poros (0,5, 1, 2, 3, 4%). As amostras produzidas foram caracterizadas quanto à: resistência, compressão, absorção de água, condutividade térmica, densidade aparente e microestru-tura. Palavras-chave: Isolamento térmico; Geopolímeros; Condutividade térmica. ABSTRACT Conventional thermal insulation materials, such as glass wool and extruded polystyrene, owned-in significant technical limitations. The geopolymers emerge as an alternative due to their properties. In this sense the objective of this work is to describe the develop geopolymers with low thermal conductivity. Samples of geo-polymers were produced from metakaolin (Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2) which, due to its high reactivity, made it possible to produce inorganic polymers with interesting physical properties, which can be used for thermal insulation. The samples of aluminosilicate were activated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na 2 SiO 3). Samples of light geopolymers were produced with addition of different percentages of a pore former (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4%). The samples were characterized with respect to: compressive strength, water absorption, thermal conductivity, density and microstructure.

Urea-formaldehyde (UF) foam exhibits excellent flame-retardant properties and low thermal conductivity. These properties make it suitable for thermal insulation in buildings. However, the brittleness of this material is its biggest disadvantage. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used to improve the toughness of UF foam. The effect of the amount of PVA addition on the properties of the UF foam, such as the apparent densities, foaming ratio, compression strength, microstructure, fragility, limited oxygen index and thermal conductivity, were studied. The best performance was obtained for PVA modified UF foam with 1.5 wt.% added PVA. The pyrolysis characteristics of the 1.5 wt.% PVA modified UF foam were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Emissions of CO2, ammonia and isocyanic acid were identified during pyrolysis. By comparing the combustion and pyrolysis derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curves, the effects of the presence of oxygen on the thermal decomposition were observed.

For laboratories within the scheme of the voluntary surveillance system of technical insulation material in Europe (VDI/Keymark) a proficiency test is the basis of obtaining a "registered laboratory". These laboratories are allowed to conduct measurements to verify the declared thermal conductivity curve of technical insulation materials under the umbrella of the quality mark VDI/Keymark. The initial characterization work on round robin materials for the determination of thermal conductivity at higher temperatures led to the selection of an expanded glass granulate. With all the results of the round robin tests produced by five European laboratories, the expanded glass granulate has become a very important material for establishing a reliable European level of thermal conductivity at higher temperatures with a moderate uncertainty. The German expert group "AK-Thermophysik" of the Association of Thermal Analysis (GEFTA, Gesellschaft für Thermische Analyse e.V.) further initiated a round robin test for thermal conductivity in the year 2012. With this additional use of the expanded glass granulate material, more experience with transient methods and thermal conductivity values in the extended temperature range could be obtained. The thermal conductivity of expanded glass granulates was determined from −170 °C to 530 °C with different methods and apparatuses. Within this temperature range the thermal conductivity increases from about 0.030 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹ to 0.160 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. The comparison with the reference curve of the VDI/Keymark indicates very good compliance within 4% for most cases.

Glass fibers in the shape of wool were obtained at laboratory scale from three samples of basaltic rocks from the Tenerife Island. The rockwool is widely used as thermal and acoustical insulation. The ability of these rocks to be fiberized was studied by means of the viscosity curves and can be quite improved by adding calcium and magnesium. The experimental fibers obtained from the rocks directly or mixed with either CaCO 3 or CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 ye characterized in terms of chemical composition, microstructure and thermal and mechanical properties. These properties were compared with the ones determined for four commercial samples of rockcwool, founding that they are very close. This gives good prospects to these fibers from Canarian basalts as insulation material.

Melamine-formaldehyde fibers were synthesized from a meltable pre-polymer of etherified melamine-formaldehyde in a form of a low density fleece, subsequently thermally cured in a conveyor belt oven at temperatures of up to 200 °C and post-heated at 260 °C. High thermal stability and small fiber diameter below 5 μm made it a serious candidate as a novel core material for vacuum thermal insulation panels. Two most crucial core properties, thermal conductivity and outgassing rate, were investigated in thin-walled stainless steel envelopes, enabling thermal processing combined with a pump-out procedure. A base thermal conductivity of ∼2.3 mW m−1 K−1 was achieved with randomly oriented fibers at a density of ∼250 kg m−3. The long-term pressure-rise measurements revealed extremely low outgassing rates, q ∼ 10−15 mbar L s−1 cm−2. Additional measurements of thermal conductivity in a wide pressure range from 10−3 mbar to the atmosphere indicate that these melamine-formaldehyde fibers could be the first organic candidates applied as the core material in vacuum insulating panels with an adequate service lifetime. Their performance is comparable to selected inorganic core materials like glass fibers.

Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) have already found application in some specialist applications where minimal energy consumption is important and space is at a premium. This paper investigates the feasibility of widespread application of VIPs in the cold chain by embedding them into the polyurethane (PU) foamed walls of traditional refrigerator and freezer cabinets. Thermal modelling of the insulation of a range of typical refrigerator and freezer cabinets as used throughout the cold chain was carried out both with and without VIPs embedded in the insulating walls. The potential energy savings and payback times were then calculated; for refrigerators the average payback was 9.7 years, for freezers it was 4.5 years.

Material selection in manufacturing may be characterized as a series of trade-offs between characteristics, properties, environmental impacts, sustainability, availability, and economics. Societal concerns about the environmental impacts of construction practices and materials have been expressed through an increase in the demand, production and use of "green" building products. This, combined with a desire to integrate more bioproducts and natural and renewable resources into the construction industry, has extended to the production and promotion of insulation made from sheep's wool. Although substantial literature exists on the insulation properties and other benefits of wool, less is known about the economics and manufacturing processes of sheep's wool insulation at varying scales of production. This paper contributes to this field of enquiry through presentation of the preliminary results of a wool insulation manufacturing pilot project, in which the scale and economics of the production of sheep's wool insulation were considered. Processing techniques, the impact of sheep breed, yield, energy use, and manufacturing costs were also examined. The results of the pilot project indicate that, while sheep's wool insulation produced at a smaller, or artisanal scale shows some potential, scale of operation and volume of production need to be carefully considered in order to ensure long-term sustainability of the operation. Using the least expensive sheep's wool available for the manufacture of wool batt insulation (and thereby reducing production costs) did not, in this pilot study, have a negative impact on productivity or product performance. Diversion of this waste stream of currently less marketable, and consequently less valuable wool, into the production of a green building material may offer small but significant benefit to sheep producers and the broader agricultural community, as well as consumers.

Currently, various products containing bamboo charcoal are popular. In this study, thermal insulation composites were manufactured with PET non-woven fabrics and bamboo charcoal woven fabrics. Bamboo charcoal can radiate far infrared rays and absorb smells, so it is used for textiles, deodorant materials, bedding, pillows, and so on. Non-woven fabrics were made with hollow and spiral polyester staple fibers, and had superior thermal insulation. The mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and air permeability of the composites were evaluated. When the ratio of the low melting point fibers was 30%, the maximum breaking strength of the thermal insulation composites exceeded that in any other ratio conditions. Moreover, the thermal insulation of the composites was superior when the ratio of the low melting point fibers decreased. The air permeability of the thermal insulation composites increased with decreasing ratios of the low melting point fibers. The thermal insulation composites can be used in daily commodities and industrial products.

The control of heat and noise by containment or exclusion has important economic as well as environmental justifications. Thermal and Acoustic Insulation discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of insulation materials, covering the properties and applications of virtually all organic and inorganic materials currently marketed. Complex mathematical treatments necessary to insulation measurement calculations are made easy by the inclusion of numerous computer programs. Topics considered include general aspects of thermal insulation; wall, floor and roof insulation; insulation and condensation; nature and properties of inorganic insulation materials; organic high void insulation materials; glass and glazing; thermal insulation for industry; insulation against noise; the use of a computer for insulation calculations; and fire properties of insulation materials.

Surface modification of fumed nanosilica was performed by using n-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as a coupling agent. Then, modified nanosilica was utilized in the preparation of polyurethane rigid foam. The characterization and the study of properties were done by some techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermomechanical analysis. Also, tensile test was examined to evaluate the static mechanical properties. With the increasing of modified nanosilica, thermal and static mechanical properties were enhanced, but dynamic mechanical behavior was different from static mechanical behavior because of the different properties of interfacial domain and bulk matrix. The presence of functional groups on the nanosilica surface affected stoichiometry and reduced hard phase formation in bulk polymer. The decrease in glass transition temperature (Tg) confirmed this statement. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2010. © 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers

A model of the manufacture of rigid polyurethane foams by free rising is presented. The extent of cream and rise periods as well as the amount of blowing agent necessary to give the desired foam density are theoretically predicted. The rate of blowing agent evaporation is calculated from an experimental boiling temperature vs. composition curve. Experimental runs were carried out with a formulation consisting of a polymeric isocyanate, a polyether polyol based on sorbitol, a silicone-polyol block-copolymer as surfactant, dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst, and trichlorofluoromethane as blowing agent. Mixing was performed in situ in the mold using a commercial foaming machine. Experimental results gave a satisfactory agreement with model predictions. A diagram containing all the relevant information may be theoretically built and used for the selection of adequate operating parameters for a given formulation.

The advantages and disadvantages of the thermal building insulation materials and solutions have been treated. Both traditional, state-of-the-art and possible materials and solutions beyond these have been investigated. Examples of these may be mineral wool, expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, polyurethane, vacuum insulation panels, gas insulation panels, aerogels, and future possibilities like vacuum insulation materials, nano insulation materials and dynamic insulation materials. Various properties, requirements and possibilities have been compared and studied. Among these are thermal conductivity, perforation vulnerability, building site adaptability and cuttability, mechanical strength, fire protection, fume emission during fire, robustness, climate ageing durability, resistance towards freezing/thawing cycles, water resistance, costs and environmental impact. Currently, there exist no single insulation material or solution capable of fulfilling all the requirements with respect to the most crucial properties. That is, for the buildings of today and the near future, several insulation materials and solutions are used and will have to be used depending on the exact circumstances and specifications. As of today, new materials and solutions like e.g. vacuum insulation panels are emerging, but only slowly introduced in the building sector partly due to their short track record. Therefore it will be of major importance to know the limitations and possibilities of all the insulation materials and solutions, i.e. their advantages and disadvantages. In this respect new conceptual thermal building insulation materials are also discussed.

The impending phase-out of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used to expand foam insulation, combined with requirements for increased energy efficiency, make the use of non-CFC-based high performance insulation technologies increasingly attractive. The majority of current efforts are directed at using advanced insulations in the form of thin, flat, rectangular, low-conductivity gas-filled or evacuated panels, which we refer to as advanced insulation panels (AIPs). All's can be used in conjunction with blown polymer foams to improve insulation performance in refrigerator/freezers (R/Fs) of conventional design and manufacture. This AIP/foam composite approach is appealing because it appears to be a feasible, near-term method for incorporating advanced insulations into R/Fs without substantial redesign or retooling. However, the requirements for adequate flow of foam during the foam-in-place operation limit the allowable thickness and coverage area of AIPs. This restriction, combined with the thermal bridging effects of elements such as steel outer shells and surrounding foam, allow only relatively small improvements in overall thermal resistance with AIP/foam composite insulation.
