Panels, heat-insulating

Thermal Insulation. Foamed plastics (qv) are used as thermal insulation for aU types of constmction because of their low heat- and moisture-transmission values. Polystyrene is used either as foamed board or expandable beads. The foam may be faced with a stmctural surfacing material, eg, a kraft liner-board, to form a panel for insulating mobile homes. These foams can dupHcate the appearance of wood and be used as trim. Foams can also be used as backing, for example, on aluminum siding, to provide heat and sound insulation. Foamed beads can be incorporated in concrete to reduce its density and provide some thermal insulation. 

Compressed Intermediate or medium density fiberboard (includes laminated paperboards and homogeneous boards) 0.40-0.80 25-50 Structural use and heat insulation as sheathing base for plaster and siding, interior paneling, containers, underflooring... 

Because cement-based materials are well-known insulators, another avenue for further research and product development is the strategic use of fiber-cement composites for sound and heat insulation. Such products might be composed wholly of fiber-cement (likely aerated) or where fiber cement is just one component in an insulating panel or member. 

For insulation applications, plastics are mostly used. For water insulation (waterproofing), PU, PVC, thermoplastic elastomers, silicones, various rubbers, acrylics, and even PE are mainly used. For heat insulation applications, PVC, EPS, PU foams are used directly (for roofs and walls), as well as in sandwich panels. In addition, UPVC-hollow panels are being used as interior cladding to provide multi-purpose insulation (for water, heat, noise), specifically for pipes, wall insulation, and so on. 

Nonelastomeric Thermosetting Polyurethane Curable mixtures of isocyanate prepolymers or monomers. Has good abrasion resistance and low-temperature stability, but poor heat, fire, and solvent resistance and weather-ability. Processed by reaction inj ection and structural foam molding, casting, potting, encapsulation, and coating. Used in heat insulation, auto panels and trim, and housings for electronic devices. 

Insulation panels use the Dewar s principle [48] which uses reflective outer layers and encaged stagnant insulating media in between, which is the most effective way of heat insulation. 

Backing. The common brickwork behind facing bricks in a brick building, or low-duty refractories or heat insulation behind the working face of a furnace. Backing Strip. A strip of metal welded to the back of a metal panel prior to its being enamelled the purpose is to prevent warping. 

Identification of the presence of asbestos is the first action. Asbestos is commoniy found as boiier and pipe lagging, insulation panels around pillars and ducting for fire protection and heat insulation, ceiling tiles and asbestos cement products, including asbestos cement sheets. Initial investigations will involve the examination... 

Machinery enclosures Walls of acoustic enclosures should consist of heavy but flexible panels lined internally with sound-absorbing material. Adequate ventilation, demountability of the enclosure for repairs, and arrangements for operating and/or observing the machine to be provided. If hot gas fans are acoustically enclosed, the surface of the fan casing should additionally be heat-insulated. For information on design and performance of enclosures for noise control see VDI2711. 

Polyurethane foams cellular plastics basically of three types flexible urethane foams used for upholstery, matresses, textile linings, acoustic insulation, etc rigid urethane foams used for heat insulation (eg refrigeration), cold stores, building-panel cores, etc and semi-flexible foams used for arm rests, packaging, etc. 

Applications and end uses include the following semiconductor and flat panel display manufacture, electrical insulating parts, heat insulating applications, as well as seals, bearings, and wear plates in various industrial applications. 

Inappropriate support that may not necessarily reflect the needs of a different climate, culture, and social background of the partner regimi. For example, facilities provided from Northern Provinces had double-panel windows and contain heat-insulating materials, while those provided from Southern Provinces have no such equipment. This is not a big problem in the phases and rescue and rehabilitation because short-term respmises or restoration is required in the phases. In the reconstruction phase, however, supporting materials need to be accepted by the supported region.
