Comparison of the Thermal Insulation Characteristics of Polyisocyanurate Foam (PIR), Mineral Wool, Carbon Fiber and Airgel
Abstract: The characteristics of the heat-insulating material are mainly determined by its thermal conductivity, which depends on the density of the material, porosity, moisture content and average temperature difference. This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the thermal conductivity of mineral wool, polyisocyanurate foam, carbon and airgel in a stationary thermal regime. Thermal insulation indicators are determined on a flat sample using the PIT 2.1 device. The results should be of great importance for manufacturers of materials, building owners and designers when choosing suitable heat-insulating materials and correctly forecasting the thermal and energy characteristics of buildings and their energy efficiency.Keywords: heat-insulating material, polyisocyanurate foam, mineral wool, thermal conductivity, airgel, carbon, thermal conductivity, construction.
