Effect of Moisture Absorption on High Temperature Thermal Insulation Performance of Fiber Insulation Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, effect of moisture absorption on high temperature thermal insulation performance of fiber insulation material is studied. Fiber material is stored in 40°C through a long period of time, then spontaneous moisture absorption of fiber material is measured. According this test result, 20% and 40% moisture absorption content gradient are determined. Pore distribution and high temperature thermal insulation property of samples of 20% and 40% moisture absorption and the dry samples are all tested in this study. The internal pore size distribution of fiber insulation material after moisture absorbing has a certain coarsening. Fiber material after moisture absorbing will make its pore size become large. And oxygen acetylene test results showed that: the larger moisture absorption, the more slowly the initial temperature rises. Fiber material after moisture absorbing will make its low temperature thermal insulation performance reduce, but it has little impact of its high temperature thermal insulation performance.
