Abstract

In the present study, composite insulation mat was reinforced over polyurethane foam (PUF) to improve the thermal performance and impact resistance of the PUF applied to the liquefied natural gas carrier insulation system. The composite insulation mat used Kevlar, aerogel, and cryogel composite mat that can be applied in a cryogenic environment. The thermal conductivity was measured at $20^{\circ}C$ to investigate the thermal performance, and the drop impact test was carried out under impact energy of 30 J at $20^{\circ}C$, $-163^{\circ}C$ to investigate the impact resistance. The measured thermal performance was compared with neat PUF through effective thermal conductivity theoretical value. The shock resistance was evaluated of contact force, contact time, and absorb energy. In experimental results, cryogel composite mat was the best performance in terms of thermal performance, and aerogel composite mat was the best performance in terms of impact resistance.

본 연구에서는 액화 천연 가스 운반선 단열 시스템에 적용되는 폴리우레탄 폼(Polyurethane foam, PUF)의 열적 성능 및 내충격성을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로, PUF에 복합 단열 매트를 보강하였다. 복합 단열 매트는 극저온 환경에서 운용이 가능한 케블라, 에어로겔, 그리고 크라이오겔 매트를 선정하였다. 열적 성능은 $20^{\circ}C$의 상온에서 열전도율을 측정하였으며, 내충격성은 $20^{\circ}C$의 상온 및 $-163^{\circ}C$의 극저온에서 30 J의 충격에너지로 낙하 충격 시험을 수행하여 측정하였다. 측정된 열전도율은 유효 열전도율 이론 값을 통해 보강되지 않은 PUF와 비교하였으며, 내충격성은 접촉력, 접촉 시간, 그리고 흡수에너지를 평가하였다. 실험 결과 크라이오겔 복합 매트 보강 시 가장 우수한 열적 성능을 나타났으며, 내충격성은 에어로겔 복합 매트 보강 시 가장 우수하게 나타났다.
