Progress on Vacuum Insulation Panels in Building Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

The insulation material VIP in building offers a new material for highly insulated constructions with just a fraction of the required insulation thickness compared to conventional thermal insulation materials. A VIP is basically composed of the core material, the barrier film and getters. Core materials of VIP are glass fiber, fumed silica, fiber-powder composite core. The barrier film covered by glass fiber textile is the protection of the envelope against surface damage and fire attack. We introduce the VIP elements, the system of VIPs in building application and external thermal insulation system with VIP.
