Abstract:
To comply with energy saving regulations, vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) have been used in refrigerators and automatic vending machines for some years now. VIPs for low-temperature applications are constructed from laminated plastic films, which are heat-welded together to maintain a vacuum inside. At high temperatures, the vacuum is lost and the performance of these panels degrades sharply. But recently there has been a demand for efficient insulation materials for use in hot-water equipment (e.g., vending machines, heat pumps, boilers and water heaters), which necessitates the study of laminated plastic films and getter devices for high-temperature VIPs. Measurements have been made of the allowable temperature limit of plastic films and the release of water vapor and outgassing during temperature-programmed adsorption with different getter materials. Suitable laminated films and getter device systems for high-temperature VIPs were chosen based on the results of these measurements, and their long-term reliability was evaluated by measuring the thermal conductivity at high temperature. As a result it was found that high-retort CPP and PBT films are the most suitable materials for use in the welded layers of high-temperature VIPs (105 ˇăC).
