Abstract:

Thermal insulation systems of ETICS are now mostly solved in the building industry, whether in terms of insulating the structures, choices of materials and subsequent recycling after the end of their life period. From the environmental point of view and also in the perspective of sustainable development, it is essential to look for other suitable material bases which relate only to easily renewable sources of raw materials or to industrial wastes which have long been available in sufficient quantity and quality. It is important that production of the insulation systems is energetically efficient modest in terms of manufacturing facilities. The aim of this paper is to verify the possibility of using natural insulation materials for thermal insulation systems ETICS. This paper describes the results of studies of key properties of insulations based on industrial hemp and flax and the results of computational simulations of the behavior of these insulations incorporated in the real systems ETICS.

Abstract:

Various aspects of application of polyethylene foam implemented for roof thermal insulation within the frame of one of the sports venues and, closely, the realization of insulation systems for cold conservation on the territory of public sports facilities, particularly for snow storage conservation within ski resorts have been regarded in this article. Additional demands are placed on thermal insulating material for suchlike constructions. Apart from high thermo technical properties, the material should involve hermeticity, lightness, easy mounting and maintenance, durability, bacterial and fungal resistance and temperature differential resistance. The examination results concerning properties and particularities of application of non-cross-linked polyethylene foam within the scope of production of insulation coatings protecting the snow from melting are given in the article. It has been established that being the part of insulation system polyethylene foam preserves the accuracy of mechanical and thermo physical characteristics. Taking all functional particularities of insulation systems implementation into consideration, the principles of protection and conservation of snow covering have been developed being realized on the mountainsides and plateaus of ski resorts. Polyethylene foam rolls have been connected in a butt joint and mechanically fixed. As a result, a seamless insulating coating - thermal blanket has been formed, which covered the entire mountainside. Maintenance of insulation system is performed during the off-season between March and September in the period of stable positive temperatures.

Abstract:

The paper analyzes the problems associated with the fire hazard of the application of thermal insulation and finishing systems of facades of buildings, which directly depends on the design solution of the thermal insulation system and the type of thermal insulation material. The generalized requirements for physical and technical indicators of the quality of heat-insulating materials; the possibility of applying facade heat insulation structures depending on their class, the height of the houses and the combustibility of the materials of the heat-insulating and finishing layers; fire-technical characteristics of expanded polystyrene are considered. The threats of fire spreading by thermal insulation systems of facades are analyzed and possible ways of its propagation between floors are considered. It is concluded that the use of combustible thermal insulating materials poses an increased danger to life and health of people during a fire. The problem of ensuring the fire safety of buildings, in which the insulation and finishing systems of exterior walls are used, depends on a number of factors and requires a more thorough study.

Abstract:

Highly insulated envelope or external insulation systems are being applied in recent energy saving buildings to reduce the heat loss through envelope. Internal insulation systems are applied to most apartments in Korea because they are inexpensive and convenient to construct. However, the internal insulation systems have poor performance due to the heat bridges through structures such as slabs. The external insulation systems have better thermal performance because the heat bridges through the structure are rarely formed. But it has problems regarding the external insulator separation due to strong winds, spread of fire due to insulator combustion in case of fire, formation of heat bridges through the connectors between structure and external insulation. To supplement the weaknesses of the internal and the external insulation systems, a sandwich insulation system has been suggested. In this study, the thermal performance of sandwich insulation system for apartment buildings was evaluated according to two type of the form-tie material.

Abstract:

The article outlines the basic requirements for pitched roof insulation systems. The analysis of the properties of thermal insulation materials used in insulation systems was conducted. It is substantiated that the thermal resistance of such structures on the surface of the roof is formed taking into account the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation, thermal conductivity of wooden rafters and heat loss through the leakiness of joints and mounting devices. An assessment was made of the effect of loads of various types on the heat-insulating layer, namely: the effect of the air flow in the ventilated gap; the movement of the vapor-air mixture in the material; condensation of water vapor and penetration of drip liquid; exfiltration of air at the joints of the plates and on the surfaces of contact with the supporting structures. The expediency of using products on the basis of unstitched polyethylene foam in the construction of pitched roofs with a wooden roof system, taking into account the advantages and features of this material, as well as taking into account the possibility of creating a seamless insulating shell, is substantiated.

Abstract:

Introduction. The article discusses the various aspects of the use of foamed polyethylene, implemented at sports facilities in Armenia. Firstly, it is a roof insulation system. Secondly, the implementation of insulation systems to preserve the cold in the territory of open sports facilities, in particular, to preserve snow reserves in ski resorts. Additional requirements are imposed on the thermal insulation material for such structures. The material, in addition to high thermotechnical properties, must be airtight, lightweight, easy to install and maintain, durable, resistant to infection by bacteria and fungi, it is easy to tolerate temperature extremes. Materials and methods. The article presents the results of a study of the properties (heat conductivity density, vapor permeability, water absorption) and application features (resistance to the effects of temperature, humidity, aggressive components contained in the air, that is, its high operational stability) of rolled non-cross-linked polyethylene foam when creating insulating sheets that protect snow from melting. Results. It was found that polyethylene foam in the insulating system maintains the stability of mechanical and thermophysical properties. Taking into account all the functional features of the implementation of insulation systems, the principles of protection and preservation (conservation) of snow cover have been developed, implemented on the mountain slopes and plateau of ski facilities. Rolls of foamed polyethylene were joined end-to-end and mechanically fixed. Conclusions. Thus, a seamless insulating coating was formed, covering the entire hillside — “thermal blanket”. The insulation system is operated during the off-season between March and September, during a period of stable positive temperatures.

Abstract:

The thermal insulating of new and existing buildings is of a key influence in reduction of their energetic demand factor resulting in reduction of emissions of gases, carbon particles and dust which directly improves the environment. At development of light thermal insulation plasters with very low thermal conductivity the foam-plastic matters or light porous aggregates are frequently used at present. The foam-plastic materials do not appear as convenient ones in view of the environment and sustainable development as well. In the given case the thermal insulation plasters based on light cellular aggregates appear as more suitable. However a majority of light aggregates (for example expanded perlite) do not show a good ratio of insulation and mechanical properties. The paper describes a design and development of thermal insulation plasters based on expanded obsidian that can be used for thermal insulating of building constructions and for moisture sanitation. Considering the applied type of aggregates the materials show better ratio of thermal insulation and mechanical properties while in practice the plasters can be used as a full- value alternative for classical thermal insulation systems.

Abstract:

Although desirable for many reasons, controlled low-strength material – controlled density fill (nonshrinkable fill) has the potential to promote rapid frost penetration within the trench when used as a backfill material in waterworks construction and repair projects. This paper describes results of a two-dimensional finite-element heat-transfer model study carried out to investigate the effectiveness of various insulation systems for frost and frost-heave protection of buried waterlines. Combinations of nonshrinkable fill with horizontal insulation boards, cylindrical pipe insulation, and inverted U-shaped insulations were investigated. It was shown that, while moderate thicknesses of insulation could be found to protect the pipe from freezing, thermal-bridging effects make the location of the maximum frost penetration depth sensitive to details of the insulation geometry. The use of different combinations of insulating backfills was also investigated, and it was shown that a backfill layer of moderate insulating value placed high in the trench may be most advantageous. Key words : frost, frost protection, insulation, waterlines, nonshrinkable fill, numerical analysis.

Abstract:

Insulation systems for buildings and structures imply the use of efficient thermal insulation products based on mineral wool, expanded polystyrene, expanded polyurethane, etc. For a long time, products from non-cross-linked expanded polyethylene were used as insulation for pipelines, reflective insulation, protection against air infiltration, etc. Modern technologies and engineering solutions allowed widening the field of application of non-cross-linked expanded polyethylene (NXLPE) as a construction insulation material. In particular, we can consider a complex of insulation systems for walls, floors and a pitched roof, which allows to form a fully insulating shell of a low-rise building, e.g. a cottage. The novelty of the patented technology Tepofol® and that of the material concerned in comparison with the known solutions is the development of a rolled material based on NXLPE (20 to 150 mm thick) with a lock joint, as well as the technology of seamless connection of individual heat-insulating cloths. The rolls of NXLPE are mechanically fixed to the frame and connected with the lock. One of the advantages of expanded polyethylene, which only few insulating materials possess, is the possibility of forming seamless insulating shells. The article considers a number of insulation systems based on the use of products from expanded polyethylene. In particular, these are the systems of insulation of the walls of frame buildings, the insulation of floors, as well as the insulation of logistics facilities and hangars.

Abstract:

The article discusses the results of studying the thermotechnical properties and energy saving factors of insulation systems based on mineral wool products and products based on extruded polystyrene foam under conditions close to natural ones. The studies were carried out on the basis of the hypothesis according to which the heat-saving characteristics of the facade insulation systems are most dependent on the thermal resistance along the surface of the wall, on the thermotechnical uniformity of the insulating sheath and on the stability of the properties of the heat-insulating materials under real operating conditions. The implemented complex made it possible to establish that the smallest difference between the air temperature in the room and the surface temperature in the lower zone was achieved on a fragment of the building envelope with a mounted facade system with XPS as insulation. For the same type of facade system, the maximum heat transfer resistance in the lower zone of the building envelope was reached - 2.72 m2 ° C / W for the cold period of the year, which significantly exceeds the characteristics of the system of mounted ventilated facades with mineral wool thermal insulation in the corresponding zones. The factor of “additional warming” from the soil, which is used to justify the rejection of warming in the buried part of the structure, does not work in the cold season. Flooding at thezone with the junction of the wall with the soil significantly affects the values and nature of the distribution of operating humidity inside the insulation layers.

Abstract:

The article discusses the results of thermal imaging monitoring of building structures with and without insulation. Research and thermal and physical calculations showed that heat loss from the premises is determined by two groups of factors: surface loss depending on thermal conductivity, as well as vapor and air permeability of enclosing elements and heat loss at all types of joints, fasteners, etc. Thermal insulation with plate materials significantly reduces heat losses, but at the same time, heat flows through the joints between the heat-insulating plates and in the areas of their contact with other structures, necessitating the use of steam and waterproof windproof roll materials. The usage of elastic and thermoplastic materials in the insulation circuit allows minimizing heat loss at the joints between the heat-insulating elements and along the smooth surface of the wall due to the low air and vapor permeability of the material. In the systems of frame cottages, when used as a thermal insulation of rolled foam-polyethylene, it becomes possible to form a seamless insulating shell of a building. This is made possible by connecting individual sheets of polyethylene foam into a lock, followed by hot air welding. Seamless insulation systems are used both in the construction of cottages and in the construction of frame and frameless logistic facilities and housing and communal services.

Abstract:

The integration of thermal energy storage systems enables improvements in efficiency and flexibility for numerous applications in power plants and industrial processes. By transferring such technologies to the transport sector, existing potentials can be used for thermal management concepts and new ways of providing heat can be developed. For this purpose, technology developments for solid media high-temperature thermal energy storage systems are taking place for battery-electric vehicles as part of the DLR Next Generation Car (NGC) project. The idea of such concepts is to generate heat electrically, to store it efficiently and to discharge it through a bypass concept at a defined temperature level. The decisive criterion when using such solutions are high systemic storage densities which can be achieved by storing heat at a high temperature level. However, when storing high temperature heat increasing dimensions for thermal insulation are required, leading to limitations in the achievable systemic storage density. To overcome such limitations, an alternative thermal insulation concept is presented. Up to now, conventional thermal insulations are based on sheathing the storage containment with efficient thermal insulation materials, whereby the thickness results from safety restrictions with regard to the permitted maximum surface temperature. In contrast, the alternative concept enables through the integration of the external bypass into the thermal insulation systemic advantages during the charging and discharging period. During discharging, previously unused amounts of heat or heat losses within the thermal insulation can be integrated into the bypass path and the insulation thickness can be reduced during loading through active cooling. Using detailed models for both the reference and the alternative thermal insulation concept, systematic simulation studies were conducted on the relevant influencing variables and on the basis of defined specifications. The results confirm that the alternative thermal insulation concept achieves significant improvements in systemic storage densities compared to previous solutions and high potentials to overcome existing limitations.

Abstract:

A high-temperature oil–paper insulation system offers an opportunity to improve the overloading capability of distribution transformers facing seasonal load variation. A high-temperature electrical insulation system (EIS) was chosen due to thermal calculation based on a typical loading curve on the China Southern Power Grid. In order to evaluate candidate high-temperature insulation systems, Nomex® T910 (aramid-enhanced cellulose) immersed in FR3 (natural ester) was investigated by a dual-temperature thermal aging test compared with a conventional insulation system, Kraft paper impregnated with mineral oil. Throughout the thermal aging test, mechanical, chemical, and dielectric parameters of both paper and insulating oil were investigated in each aging cycle. The thermal aging results determined that the thermal class of the FR3-T910 insulation system meets the request of overloading transformer needs.

Abstract:

The article discusses the possibility of using the criteria of energy saving, cost and comfort as an estimate criterion in the analysis of information modeling technologies for low-rise buildings at the stages of design, implementation and operation. The insulation systems of low-rise buildings, including frame type, are considered as an object of study. Different types of insulation systems of frame buildings are considered and, as a result, the expediency of using rolled polyethylene foam as an insulating material is established. Its use allows to form a seamless insulating sheath with minimization of heat transfer bridges, as well as to eliminate the use of additional wind-proof and vapor-insulating membranes. The regularities of the influence of operating factors on the thermal resistance of the insulating shell are established. The data obtained as a result of the implementation of experimental studies allow us to state that low water absorption and low vapor permeability of the insulating layer exclude the possibility of its wetting and degradation of heat-shielding parameters. The stability of the properties of the insulation sheath and the construction of the walls as a whole is ensured during the entire period of operation.

Abstract:

Combining air or hydraulic binders with hemp shives, we can gain a set of new building materials. These products achieve excellent performance characteristics for durable, environmentally sustainable buildings. Being together, these products create natural composite building material that can be used to create insulating elements for walls, floors and roofs and also to create excellent thermal and acoustic properties of the buildings. Hemp insulation material is created by connection of technical hemp shives with a binder consisting of cement and calcium hydroxide. The production process may vary depending on whether the hemp is mineralized or not. It can be generally said that dry components should be mixed at first (binder and shives) and then water should be added. During the production, all components of insulating material must be perfectly mixed. The paper deals with the proposal and testing of new hemp insulation composites. Tests of the hemp insulation described in this paper are not typical representatives of the tests of insulation materials. Due to the doubts about the insulating properties of the proposed material, there was testing carried out in such the ways as if it was the filling material based on lightweight concretes.

Abstract:

Thermal restoration of building constructions presents a complex of measures during renovation and life prolongation of buildings. It is a solution including restoration of bearing parts of the construction, solutions of moisture questions and the thermal insulation and new surface treatments of the construction. After application of the thermal insulation total energy intensity for heating and cooling is reduced and the thermal comfort inside insulated object is improved. Nowadays at application of thermal insulating systems a huge amount of insulants produced from non-renewable materials (EPS, PUR) is needed or the production of these is energy demanding (rock wool). Some of them, namely foam-plastic insulating materials are not compatible with original walling materials and after its application the diffusion flow is frequently limited in direction to exterior. The paper describes possibilities of production of insulants from flax waste and use of such insulating materials in the field of exterior heat insulating materials for existing objects.

Abstract:

The article analyzes different ways of creating an insulating coating within the scope of frameless buildings. Among such constructions, the production halls, raw material and finished-products storages, agricultural storages, livestock housing, garages, covered parking, sports and cultural facilities are to be distinguished. Criteria that the heat-insulating materials should meet in the context of effective and durable insulation coatings are low thermal conductivity, vapor and water permeability, high operational durability and environmental friendliness as well. It is confirmed that products based on polyethylene foam, such as mats and rolls, fully meet the above-mentioned criteria. Furthermore, the possibility of obtaining a seamless joint during the installation process significantly increases the effectiveness of the insulating coating by means of minimizing cold bridges and eliminating leakages when connecting separate insulating elements. Polyethylene foam is an elastic and well stretching material. When fixing polyethylene foam rolls on the metal covering of the frameless construction, they will change their shape together with the metal due to the climatic temperature drops (stretch and constrict). The performed tests have revealed that the longitudinal tensile strength of the products with a metallized coating is 80–92 kPa, without a metallized coating - 80–87 kPa, and 29–32 kPa of the weld seam. The article includes information regarding the results of thermal imaging monitoring of frameless constructions with an insulating coating based on polyethylene foam. It is shown that hot-air welding (with the help of a hot air gun) allows minimizing heat losses both at the joints of the sheets and in the areas adjoining to the base and to the side walls of the buildings.

Abstract:

Several thermal insulation systems were developed for improvement of thermal performance of buildings. Exterior thermal insulation systems represent usually natural solution of the problem of low thermal resistance of building envelopes. However, in some cases, there is necessary to realize interior thermal insulation systems, what brings number of possible problems. Their common disadvantage is a limitation of interior space due to the thickness of thermal insulation layer and a possible condensation of water vapor which permeates the thermal insulation system. On this account, new sandwich composite with silica aerogel originally designed for application in interior thermal insulation systems is studied in the paper. Thermal properties are measured by two transient methods using devices ISOMET 2114 and RTB. The water vapor transport parameters are determined on the basis of dry cup and wet cup methods. The obtained data gives information on thermal and water vapor transport properties of the particular layers of sandwich composite and predetermines its behavior at real climatic exposure of building.

The article, on the example of pipeline insulation systems, outlines the fundamentals of the concept of environmentally sustainable construction, including requirements for materials, constructional systems in which these materials are used, engineering systems and work technologies. Insulation based on polyethylene foam technology of its installation meets the requirements of EcoMaterial Basis or EcoMaterial Green. Polyethylene is absolutely safe for humans and its base is polyethylene, which used in the food industry (packaging or boxing) and in medicine (prosthetics). A specific feature of polyethylene foam, like most types of foamed (gas-filled) plastic materials, is combustibility, expressed depending on the consumption and effectiveness of flame retardants, to one degree or another. During operation in the temperature range from -60 to +90 °C, the properties of materials are stable and no harmful emissions occur. The installation of the insulating sheath fixed by an glue method and is not associated with processes that are dangerous for humans and harmful to the environment. The article presents the main provisions of methods for calculating insulation systems based on polyethylene by measure of energy efficiency, which is defining, including the environmental assessment of insulation systems. The optimum thickness of polyethylene foam has been determined, as well as the recommended insulation thicknesses to ensure a given (safe for humans) temperature; to prevent moisture condensation on the surface of the insulating layer. An calculated time has been established during which thermal insulation prevents cold water from freezing when at an emergency stop of its movement in pipelines in the winter.

High thermal conductivity insulation materials can improve the efficiency of cooling system and decrease the energy loss of electric machines. Some famous foreign companies keep ahead in this field. Current domestic high temperature resistant solvent less insulating varnish can only be used in small and medium sized generators instead of high voltage generators. Therefore this kind of material should be improved in either resin rich or resin less insulation systems.

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the use of structures of external walls with facade insulation with plaster, which is widespread and popular in our country and abroad, as well as the problems associated with their fire hazard. The work of domestic and foreign researchers dealing with fire safety issues of facade systems has been analyzed. Classification of prefabricated systems of facade insulation is performed depending on the design decision, as well as on the main features in accordance with: the type of applied insulation material; a method of fastening a heat-insulating layer; composition of the base plaster layer; kind of decorative protective layer. The structure of prefabricated systems with complete sets of insulation with prefabrication of light, thick-layer plaster or fine-wares products is represented. The peculiarities of the processes that occur during combustion of the thermal insulation and finishing system of the outer walls of residential buildings are analyzed and revealed. Typical scenarios of fire spreading are presented with a surface of the design of external walls with a facade heat insulation with a fuel heater and a stucco coating. The mechanism of propagation of fire through a window opening by a surface of a facade heat insulation on the basis of foam polystyrene is described. The conclusion is made that the use of structures of exterior walls of residential buildings with facade insulation with combustible insulant and stucco coating significantly increases their level of fire hazard. This danger will depend on both the properties of individual materials (including insulant), as well as on the design features of the entire thermal insulation system and the building as a whole. For plaster systems, the thermal insulation of facades is a major threat to the rapid spread of fires on the floors above and below the building. The most common causes of thermal insulation fires is the transfer of fire from the windows during intense fire inside the rooms.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to measure the thermal insulation of protective clothing with multilayer gaps in low-level heat exposures. Design/methodology/approach – Nine different combinations of protective clothing systems with multiple air gaps are used to measure the thermal insulation by a self-designed bench-scale test apparatus in different levels of an external thermal radiation of 2-10 kW/m2. The outside and inside surface temperatures of each fabric layer are also measured to calculate the local thermal insulation of each fabric layer and each air gap. Findings – The results show that the total thermal insulation of protective clothing under thermal radiation is less than that in normal environments, and the exposed thermal radiation will worsen the total thermal insulation of the multilayer fabric systems. Air gap plays a positive role in the total thermal insulation, and thus provides the enhanced thermal protection. It is also suggested that the local resistance of the air gap closer to the external thermal radiation is more easily affected by the thermal radiation, due to the different heat transfer ways in the fabric system and the external thermal radiation. Originality/value – Effects of air gap on the thermal insulation of protective clothing, and contribution of the local thermal resistance of each fabric layer and each air gap to the total thermal insulation.

Abstract:

Concrete dams located in northern regions are subjected to severe cyclic seasonal temperature variations, which may contribute significantly to the deterioration of the exposed faces and the long-term degradation of strength and stiffness properties. This paper presents a comparative study of thermal protection methods that might be used to improve the durability of concrete dams subjected to freeze–thaw cycles. First, the thermal, structural, and physical processes that affect the dam's resistance to freeze–thaw cycles are discussed. The thermal durability of existing northern concrete dams is then reviewed. Three thermal protection schemes are presented: (i) insulation membranes applied directly to the concrete facings, (ii) insulation membranes with air spaces for drainage or visual inspection, and (iii) insulation made of granular material. Two-dimensional thermomechanical finite element analyses of a typical gravity dam located in Quebec are then carried out to assess the performance of thermal protection systems using different configurations of insulating materials and exposure conditions, and to develop appropriate design criteria. Key words: concrete dams, thermal analysis, insulation, finite element method.

Abstract:

The article presents studies of the exploitation characteristics of the material, the results of a full-scale survey of a residential private house insulated with expanded polyethylene, as well as the main design solutions for the insulation of a frame cottage. The features of insulation systems of low-rise buildings, including those with a frame-bearing carrier system, are considered. It has been substantiated that the use as thermal insulation of mineral-wool plates used on non-loaded structures assumes the mandatory placement of vapor barrier (usually plastic film) from the inside of the insulated surface and the windproof membrane outside. The use of a rolled foamed polyethylene as an insulating material makes it possible to realize an insulating sheath without additional layers. Experimental determinations of diffusion moisture absorption, water absorption upon partial immersion in water, water absorption upon full immersion in water, tensile strength in the longitudinal direction, and adhesion strength of the adhesive layer to metal were performed. It was established that the diffusion moisture absorption of samples of expanded polyethylene is 0.51-0.75%, and taking into account the weld it is 0.70-0.75%. Water absorption of samples when fully immersed in water does not exceed 0.96% by volume. The tensile strength in the longitudinal direction for products with a metallized coating is 80-92 kPa, without a metallized coating - 80-87 kPa, and for a weld - 29-32 kPa. A field survey showed that the humidity of the pine timber is within the normative. The expediency of warming only the outer coating of expanded polyethylene of the calculated thickness without filling the frame is justified, which, with standard air exchange and observance of the conditioning conditions, will be sufficient to maintain the microclimate in the room.

Abstract:

The system of hinged ventilated facades is available for a long time and is now widely used in the construction of new and reconstruction of existing buildings for various purposes. As practice shows, the problems associated with the operation of these facade systems are usually caused by mistakes in the design, selection of components and installation of the system. Ventilated facade is a multi-layered enclosing structure, which includes a layer of insulation. Mineral wool slabs are ideal for this facade system, as it has low thermal conductivity, resistance to temperature changes and excellent vapor permeability, which allows to fully open the potential of a ventilated air layer. In the article two ways of installation of thermal insulation are considered: single-layer and two-layer with different types of air interlayer: closed, weakly and strongly ventilated. In accordance with the requirements of Russian and European regulatory documents, the effect of gaps between the thermal insulation plates in a single-layer and two-layer design on the reduction of the heat transfer resistance of hinged facade systems with an air gap was estimated by calculating 2-dimensional temperature fields. The coefficient of thermotechnic uniformity was also defined. As a result, optimal variants of thermal insulation and types of bases for fixing thermal insulation are suggested.

Abstract. Strategic problem of ensuring the update of energy profile of residential and public buildings may be solved if only recent design concept of facade thermal insulation is applied. As the design concept, facade thermal insulation appeared in reconstruction of buildings and structures. In domestic construction practice, this design concept is also widely used in new structures and that is why the system of criteria that determine the possible reduce of specific heat loss in heating of buildings should be updated, and the desired operational heat safety of buildings should be ensured. The paper deals with the development and implementation of new criteria for assessment of façade insulation systems with rendering, addresses the European experience and features the implementation of European standards in the national regulatory framework.

Abstract:

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is among the key concerns for the integrity of process equipment and pipelines. Various measures to detect and fix the damages from CUI pose significant maintenance expenditures in hydrocarbons processing facilities. The key reason behind CUI is the limitation of thermal insulations to absorb the moisture and soak the underneath metal from wicking action. Other than CUI, trapped moisture in the soaked thermal insulations causes heat loss from process systems, thereby posing the risk of additional damage mechanisms and increased operating expenditures. This study addresses the impact of robust drain openings and insulation standoffs on the CUI rate of carbon steel under four different testing conditions, namely isothermal wet, isothermal wet-dry, cyclic wet, and cyclic wet-dry, respectively. Corroded specimens were further characterized using surface topography and scanning electron microscope. The impacts of temperature and moisture cycling on the corrosion attributes were also characterized using the linear polarization resistance method followed by an investigation of corrosion modes via optical microscopy. Insulation standoffs in conjunction with robust drain opening resulted in the lowest corrosion rate. With insulation standoffs and drain openings, the cyclic temperature conditions caused higher metal loss than that in isothermal conditions.

Abstract:

In this paper, a new kind of gypsum-concrete dense-column thermal insulation composite board was developed, with seismic tests conducted on three specimens under quasi-static loading conditions. The fracture feature, hysteresis behavior, material strain, load-bearing and deforming capacity, and energy-dissipating capacity of the composite board were analyzed. The results indicated that this composite board has a favorable energy-dissipating capacity, i.e., relatively high seismic performance. By comparing with the experimental results of composite boards without thermal insulation systems, the influence regularity of thermal insulation system on the deformation behavior of composite board was investigated. The comparison result indicated that with a thermal insulation system, the bearing capacity and ductility of composite board are obviously increased, implying that the thermal insulation system is beneficial for the seismic performance of composite boards.

Due to the increasing thermal-technical requirements for building structures, the insulating materials are developed. One of the modern thermal insulating materials is so-called aerogel. Unfortunately, this material is not used in the field of external thermal insulation composite systems because of its price and its properties. The aim of this paper is to present possibilities of using this insulating material in the civil engineering - specifically a usage of aerogel in the production of windows.

Abstract:

Precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSP) are often used as exterior cladding of residential buildings due to thermal efficiency. PCSP systems consist of two precast reinforced concrete walls separated by a layer of insulation and connected with connectors which penetrate the insulation layer and are anchored at two precast walls. This paper provides the pull-out test results of concrete sandwich panel (CSP) with non-shear connectors. The variables in this study were the casting direction of reinforced concrete walls and types of insulation. Test results indicated that the types of insulations and casting direction have a significant effect on the bond strength between concrete wall and insulation. The effect of insulation type is notable for CSP cast horizontally concrete walls.

Abstract:

This paper presents the measurement results of the thermal insulation of the outer shell, thermal inserts, and clothing systems, as well as a comparative analysis of the thermal insulation of multi-layer thermal inserts in a thermal jacket intended for professional services in cold weather. Detachable thermal inserts are made of double-faced, diamond-shaped quilted lining with different masses per unit area, and together with the jacket, they form clothing systems with different thermal properties. Tests of the thermal properties of clothing were performed on a thermal manikin. They showed that an increase in the mass of thermal insulation textile materials contributes to an increase in the thermal insulation properties of clothing and are insufficient for a complete analysis of the thermal properties of clothing. Therefore, for the first time, three new parameters of integration efficiency of the thermal insert, thermal insulation efficiency parameters, and efficiency parameters of the integration of the textile material integrated into the clothing system were introduced. Based on these parameters, it is possible to perform an effective and accurate comparative analysis of the thermal insulation of multi-layer thermal inserts in clothing. This makes it possible to apply exact scientific methods largely in the technical design of the thermal properties of integrated textile materials, instead of experience-based methods as in the past.

Abstract:

Industrial thermal insulation fibrous materials (mineral wool and fiberglass products) are mainly used for thermal protection of the systems transporting high-temperature heat carriers. The data known in the scientific literature about the effect of insulation density and operating temperature conditions on the thermophysical properties of materials made of basalt fiber differ significantly. Taking these data into account let us improve the accuracy of thermal calculations and the validity of design solutions for thermal protection of industrial networks up to 60 %. The aim of the study is to obtain data on the change of the heat-shielding properties of insulating materials made of basalt fiber of various densities, depending on the temperature conditions of operation. An experimental study of the thermophysical properties of several samples of basalt fiber insulation has been carried out on a laboratory bench. The density of a constant heat flux passing through the sample has been determined by the additional wall method. The experimental unit consists of a cylindrical metal tube with a built-in electric heater, on the top of which a heat-insulating basalt fiber of various densities is placed. The temperature on the pipe surface is changed in the range from 50 to 350 оC. The dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient of thermal insulation basalt fiber samples on its density and operating temperature of the material is obtained. The research results show that thermal conductivity coefficient of basalt fiber insulation increases with temperature increase of the pipeline surface. The lower the value of the material density is, the higher the increment of the thermal conductivity coefficient is. The obtained results enrich the data about the dependence of the thermal conductivity of fibrous heat-insulating materials on density and temperature (for cases of operation at high temperatures). Considering the density of the examined materials made of basalt fiber when determining the thermal conductivity makes it possible to increase the accuracy of calculations up to 20 % and temperature modes of operation up to 60 %. The results obtained can be applied to find the thickness of the thermal insulation of pipelines and heat losses in the networks.

Abstract:

This paper presents a study on the thermal insulation of commercial protective gloves with passive and active heating systems considering different simulated temperatures (-15 °C, -10 °C, 0 °C and +5 °C). The insulation parameter was determined on a thermal hand model for two heated gloves supplied with different heat sources (active and passive) according to an originally developed procedure. The results confirmed that the use of an additional heat source (active or passive) makes it possible to obtain higher values of thermal insulation, expressed by a change in the performance level. In addition, the results indicate that active systems are more effective than the passive heat sources tested. The procedure shows how to evaluate the performance of heated products. It was found that active and passive systems differentially follow temperature changes, and thus differ in the levels of thermal insulation provided in the workplace. Depending on the degree of exposure of the worker to a cold environment, it is advisable to wear gloves additionally equipped with passive or active heat sources.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the resistance to hail of external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), i.e., external thermal insulation of foamed polystyrene with the same finishing coat and various reinforcing mesh and base coats used to make the reinforced layer. The manuscript presents our own new method for assessing ETICS resistance to hail and test results obtained according to this method. The basic premise of the presented new research methodology is evaluation of the thermal insulation system surface damage and fracture toughness, in the function of hit velocity with a polyamide ball with a standardized diameter and weight. The results of hail resistance tests were compared with the values of hard body impact resistance obtained in the tests done according to ETAG 004. Results obtained by the new method help to evaluate precisely the resistance of thermal insulation sets to damage as a result of impact of heavy objects of permanent shape, with greater accuracy than the hard body impact test. They also confirmed that thermal insulation sets with dispersion adhesive in the reinforcement demonstrate greater resistance to damage as a result of hail impact than the sets with cement-based adhesives and that weight of the reinforcing mesh used in the system is not significant to affect the hail resistance.
