| Abstract: | Powder-filled evacuated panel (PEP) superinsulations are made from fine powders enclosed in low permeability envelopes. These insulating panels have thermal resistances at 24°C and 25.4 mm of thickness that exceed 3.5 K·m²/W. PEP superinsulation has prospective applications in appliances, refrigerated transport, and manufactured homes. This paper contains a brief review of heat flow through powders, a presentation of thermal performance data obtained for evacuated powders, and a discussion of long-term performance. An economic evaluation of the use of PEPs as insulation for refrigerators is presented. |
