Our research is based on innovative use of the hollow glass micro-spherical material "Glass micro-bubbles" 3MTM. We apply this material like a thin-layer additional thermal insulation/shielding for polycarbonate and steel matrices. 3 identical cargo container units with polycarbonate roof skylight are used for the research: A - without application, B - with inner application of Glass micro-bubble coating and C - with outside application of Glass micro-bubble coating.Observed parameters are translucence of daylight through layer of micro-glass bubbles on the skylight, the indoor temperature and humidity and the surface temperature of the outer and inner shell are measured.

cooled to 2°K or lower. Rollin (1936) found that the thermal insulation of vessels containing liquid helium was much worse below than above the A point. He explained his observation by assuming the existence of a thin layer of liquid helium on the inside wall of the connecting tube, and thought it probable that the change in thermal conductivity of this film at the A point gave rise to the anomalous effects observed. As the result of more recent (unpublished) experiments Rollin and Simon* have put forward the other explanation that the film creeps up the tube and evaporates eventually. It is obvious that all these phenomena may have a common explanation and it was the object of the experiments described in this paper and the following paper to investigate the behaviour of He 11 in contact with solid surfaces systematically. The phenomena had to be investigated from various aspects and this made experiments necessary which varied in purpose and character to some extent. For simplicity’s sake we will therefore give, together with the description of each experiment, a short discussion and summarize at the end of the second paper all results in a general discussion on the whole phenomenon. All experiments were carried out in the same cryostat; and for different experiments only the experimental chamber and the experimental arrangement in it were altered.

If the surface temperature of any building material drops sharply without changing the humidity and the surface temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, dew-like water droplets are formed on the surface of this material. This condition is called condensing humidity condition. Condensation moisture formed on the surfaces of building materials and external barriers is slowly absorbed into the body of building materials over time, increasing the relative humidity of this structure. Condensation moisture can be observed when the temperature of the surfaces of external barrier structures drops sharply. This condition can be observed everywhere where the basement is connected to the outer walls of the basement. The article deals with the issue of thermal insulation and calculation of basement walls of modern energy-efficient buildings, which are widely used in the country and abroad.

Temperature And Humidity

Maintaining a proper temperature and humidity in a living space is very important for the health and comfort of apartment residents. Poor residential thermal conditions are recognized as a potential risk to the overall physical health. Thus, building development criteria that maintain an indoor environment separate from the outside environment have been continuously strengthened. However, this has not been the case in Korea, with regards to design criteria for the prevention of indoor condensation. In Korea, condensation occurs indoors frequently, during the winter season. When the outside temperature is low during the winter, a high indoor temperature and humidity would affect the indoor building materials and cause condensation. This study investigated and analyzed the indoor temperature and humidity during winter—when there is a significant difference in the outdoor and indoor temperatures—and conducted a survey on the residents’ lifestyles. Construction design criteria were found to be different from those of the past, and possible causes of changes in temperature and humidity were examined. We intended to establish enhanced design criteria that would prevent indoor condensation, by comparing our results to that of a study conducted in 2003.

According to the mechanism of thermal insulation, closed pore perlite, hollow glass microsphere and nanoantimony tin oxide (ATO) powder three different kinds of functional fillers were adopted respectively to prepare obstructive, reflective and radiative thermal insulation coating base on polyvinylidene fluoride emulsion, and how the category and content of functional fillers effect the thermal insulation performance of the fluorocarbon thermal insulation coating (FTIC) was investigate. The test results showed that, all the three functional fillers has an significant effect on the thermal insulation performance of FTIC.

Thermal Insulation Property

Abstract This study investigated the thermal insulation properties based on electrical heating test of graphene-based multi-layer fabric heating elements to confirm the possibility of application for fabric heating element for protective clothing. Four layers were designed as layers of outer, filler, electrical heating textile, and lining. The outer fabrics used two different densities of aramid woven fabrics (LD_ARW and HD_ARW), an aramid knit (AR_KT), and nonwoven (AR_NW). Fabricated graphene/polymer coated electrical heating textile (GR) exhibits a surface temperature of about 85 °C, a current of 0.12 A, and a power of 3 W when 30 V is applied. As composed with 4-layer, the surface temperature of LD_ARW and HD_ARW used as the outer for sample indicated less than 50 °C, due to their excellent heat resistance property; whereas, when AR_KT and AR_NW were used, the temperature was about 50 °C. This is because their fine fibers form high porosity that can entrap air. As a result of the thermal insulation properties, the temperature difference of each layer was in the order ΔT(GR-N3) < ΔT(GR-Lining) < ΔT(GR-Outer). In particular, when AR_NW was used as the outer fabric, ΔT(GR-Outer) was decreased by about 10 °C, compared with that of the other outer fabric. By the effect of relative humidity under dry 25% RH and comfortable 55% RH, the temperature difference was decreased under 55% RH; thus, the thermal insulation property was improved under comfortable humidity condition. Therefore, the best thermal insulation performance was exhibited when AR_NW was used as outer under 55% RH, and it is expected to expand its application to fabric heating element for protective clothing.

Field tests for indoor thermal environment of Tibetan-style timber dwellings in Shangri-La were carried out， from the perspective of physical environment of buildings, and more specifically, the indoor temperature of Tibetan-style timber dwellings as well as the surface temperature of building envelope were tested and comparatively analyzed. The test results show the current situations and features of indoor temperature changes of Tibetan-style timber dwellings, which may provide a basis for improving the thermal environment of Tibetan-style dwellings.
