This work presents the main results of calculation and experimental study on relation between the operational properties of peat heat-insulating materials (HIM) and the content of mineral binders in them aiming at reducing heat energy costs by energy-consuming objects. It was experimentally proved that introduction of cement increases thermal conductivity, and introduction of calcium oxide as a mineral binder, on the contrary, promotes the development of material porosity while maintaining strength characteristics and elasticity and helps to reduce the thermal conductivity and specific density. The established relationship between the content of calcium oxide and the thermal conductivity enables modelling of technology for HIM producing based on peat and inorganic binders.

The paper presents the theory of calculating heat loss through the fences of timber drying chambers. The software for computer modeling of the process of transferring heat energy through the fences of the drying chamber, consisting of various heat-insulating materials, for calculating heat losses during drying of sawn timber is described. The efficiency of the use of modern heat-insulating materials to reduce heat losses during drying of sawn timber has been experimentally confirmed.

Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

Micro/nano- BN co-doped epoxy composites were prepared and their thermal conductivity, breakdown strength at power frequency and voltage endurance time under high frequency bipolar square wave voltage were investigated. The thermal conductivity and breakdown performance were enhanced simultaneously in the composite with a loading concentration of 20 wt% BN at a micro/nano proportion of 95/5. The breakdown strength of 132 kV/mm at power frequency, the thermal conductivity of 0.81 W∙m−1∙K−1 and voltage endurance time of 166 s were obtained in the composites, which were approximately 28%, 286% and 349% higher than that of pristine epoxy resin. It is proposed that thermal conductive pathways are mainly constructed by micro-BN, leading to improved thermal conductivity and voltage endurance time. A model was introduced to illustrate the enhancement of the breakdown strength. The epoxy composites with high thermal conductivity and excellent breakdown performance could be feasible for insulating materials in high-frequency devices.

Abstract Thermal conduction is a heat transfer mechanism. It is present in our everyday lives. Studying thermal conductivity helps us better understand the phenomenon of heat conduction. The goal of this paper is to measure the thermal conductivity of various materials and compare results with the values provided by the manufacturers. To achieve this we assembled a measuring instrument and performed measurements on heat insulating materials.

A simplified procedure for analyzing data obtained from an experimental apparatus in unsteady state conditions, constructed in order to measure thermal conductivity variations of light insulating materials obtained from thermal ageing and humidity cycles, is presented here. The calculations have been carried out with a lumped thermal model using an inverse method. Several ageing cycles and measurements have been carried out and the method has permitted the reduction of the experimental and calculation costs.

Abstract Aerogels are ultra-light solids with extremely low thermal conductivity (even lower than air), thanks to which they have a huge potential in a wide range of applications. The purpose of this publication is to present the state-of-the art knowledge of the possibility of using aerogels to increase the thermal insulation properties of clothing materials intended for use in both cold and hot environments. Various methods of aerogels application to textile materials (non-woven, woven and knitted fabrics) are discussed, indicating their advantages and limitations. Numerous research studies confirm that aerogels significantly improve the thermal insulation properties of materials, but due to their delicate and brittle structure and their tendency to dusting, their application still poses considerable problems.
