Changes in the Thermal Conductivity of Organic Insulators over Time

유기질 단열재 열전도율의 경시 변화

The thermal conductivity of the insulation material has a great influence on the heat transmission coefficient, which is currently used for energy evaluation of buildings. The thermal conductivity of insulation changes with changes in the environment, such as humidity and ultraviolet rays, and can be expected to with the passage of time. But there is a lack of data on this, so this study measured the thermal conductivity of organic insulation according to environmental conditions and time, As a result, in the case of XPS, the thermal conductivity value increased over time, which is estimated to be due to the decrease in insulation performance as the foaming gas escapes to the outside, and in the case of PIR class2 No.2 and PIR noncombustible, the increased thermal conductivity value is similar, but in the case of PIR class2 No.2, a relatively moderate increase can be seen, and in the case of PIR noncombustible, a large increase is seen at the beginning, which is judged to be due to the decrease in insulation performance as the internal foaming gas is substituted with air from the outside.
