7、important factors in performance of building assemblies.INSULATION MATERIALS AND INSULATING SYSTEMSThe main purpose of using thermal insulation materials is toreduce conductive, convective, and radiant heat flows. When prop-erly applied in building envelopes, insulating materials do at leastone of t

8、he following: Increase energy efficiency by reducing the buildings heat loss orgainControl surface temperatures for occupant comfortHelp to control temperatures within an assembly, to reduce thepotential for condensationModulate temperature fluctuations in unconditioned or partly con-ditioned spaces

9、Additional functions may be served, such as providing supportfor a surface finish, impeding water vapor transmission and air leak-age into or out of controlled spaces, reducing damage to structuresfrom exposure to fire and freezing conditions, and providing bettercontrol of noise and vibration. Thes

10、e functions, of course, should beconsistent with the capabilities of the materials.ASTM Standard C168 defines terms related to thermal insulatingmaterials.APPARENT THERMAL CONDUCTIVITYThe primary property of a thermal insulation material is a lowapparent thermal conductivity, though selection of the

11、 appropriatematerial for a given application also involves consideration of theother performance characteristics mentioned previously.Thermal conductivity (symbol k, in Europe) is a property of ahomogeneous, nonporous material. Thermal insulation materials arehighly porous, however, with porosities

12、typically exceeding 90%. Asa consequence, heat transmission involves conduction in the solidmatrix but mainly gas conduction and radiation in the pores (evenconvection can occur in larger pores). This is why the term apparentthermal conductivity is used. That property is affected by structuralparame

13、ters such as density, matrix type (fibrous or cellular), andthickness. Each sample of a given insulation material has a uniquevalue of apparent thermal conductivity for a particular combinationof temperature, temperature difference, moisture content, thickness,and age; that value is not representati

14、ve for other conditions. Formore details, refer to ASTM Standards C168, C177, C335, C518,C1045, and C1363.Influencing ConditionsDensity and Structure. Figure 1 illustrates the variation of theapparent thermal conductivity with density at one mean temperature(i.e., 24C) for a number of insulation mat

15、erials used in buildingenvelopes. For most mass-type insulations, there is a minimum thatnot only depends on the type and form of the material but also ontemperature and direction of heat flow. For fibrous materials, the val-ues of density at which the minimum occurs increase as the fiberdiameter or

16、 cell size; see Figure 2 (Lotz 1969) and mean tempera-ture increase.Structural factors also include compaction and settling of insula-tion, air permeability, type and amount of binder used, additives thatinfluence the bond or contact between fibers or particles, and typeand form of the radiation tra

17、nsfer inhibitor, if any. In cellular mate-rials, most factors that influence strength also control the apparentthermal conductivity: size, shape, and orientation of cells, and thick-ness of cell walls. As Figures 1 and 2 suggest, a specific combinationof cell size, density, and gas composition in th

18、ose materials producesoptimum thermal conductivity.Temperature. At most normal operating temperatures, the appar-ent thermal conductivity of insulating materials generally increaseswith temperature. The rate of change varies with material type anddensity. Some materials, such as fluorocarbon-expande

19、d, closed-cellpolyurethanes, have an inflection in the curve where the fluorocarbonchanges phase from gas to liquid. The apparent thermal conductivityThe preparation of this chapter is assigned to TC 4.4, Building Materialsand Building Envelope Performance.26.2 2013 ASHRAE HandbookFundamentals (SI)o

20、f a sample at one mean temperature (average of the two surface tem-peratures) only applies to the material at the particular thicknesstested. Further testing is required to obtain values suitable for allthicknesses.Insulating materials that allow a large percentage of heat transferby radiation, such

21、 as low-density fibrous and cellular products,show the greatest change in apparent thermal conductivity with tem-perature and surrounding surface emissivity.The effect of temperature on structural integrity is unimportantfor most insulation materials in low-temperature applications. Atvery low tempe

22、ratures, however, some polymeric compounds mayundergo glass transition, which is characterized by a markedincrease in thermal conductivity. For urethanes and butyl-basedcompounds, this occurs at approximately 40C, but for siliconesthe glass transition temperature is more in the range of 90C,which is

23、 not normally encountered in building applications. In anycase, decomposition, excessive linear shrinkage, softening, or othereffects limit the maximum suitable temperature for a material.Moisture Content. The apparent thermal conductivity of insu-lation materials increases with moisture content. If

24、 moisture con-denses in the insulation, it not only reduces thermal resistance, butit may also physically damage the system, because some insulationmaterials deteriorate with exposure to water. Most materials wouldbe damaged if moisture were allowed to freeze in the material,because water expands wh

25、en it freezes. The increase in apparentthermal conductivity depends on the material, temperature, mois-ture content, and moisture distribution. Section A3 of the CIBSEGuide A (CIBSE 2006) covers thermal properties of building struc-tures affected by moisture.Thickness. Radiant heat transfer in pores

26、 of some materialsincreases the measured apparent thermal conductivity. For low-density insulation (e.g., 5.5 kg/m3), the effect becomes more pro-nounced with installed thickness (Pelanne 1979). The effect onthermal resistance is small, even negligible for building applica-tions. No thickness effect

27、 is observed in foam insulation.Age. As mentioned previously, most heat transfer in insulationmaterials at temperatures encountered in buildings and outdoorsoccurs by conduction through air or another gas in the pores (Lander1955; Rowley et al. 1952; Simons 1955; Verschoor and Greebler1952). In fact

28、, heat transfer in dry insulation materials can be closelyapproximated by combining gas conduction with conductionthrough the matrix and radiation in the pores, each determined sep-arately. If air in the pores of a cellular insulation material is replacedby a gas with a different thermal conductivit

29、y, the apparent thermalconductivity changes by an amount approximately equal to the dif-ference between the thermal conductivity of air and the gas. Forexample, replacing air with a fluorinated hydrocarbon (HFC) canlower the apparent thermal conductivity by as much as 50%. Fluo-rocarbon-expanded cel

30、lular plastic foams with a high proportion(i.e., more than 90%) of closed cells retain the fluorocarbon forextended periods of time. Newly produced, they have apparent ther-mal conductivities of approximately 0.022 W/(mK) at 24C. Thisvalue increases with time as air diffuses into the cells and the f

31、luo-rocarbon gas gradually dissolves in the polymer or diffuses out. Dif-fusion rates and increase in apparent thermal conductivity dependon several factors, including permeance of cell walls to the gasesinvolved, foam age, temperature, geometry of the insulation (thick-ness), and integrity of the s
