This paper presents apparent thermal conductivity of various powder at different vacuum levels for cryogenic insulation. Four kinds of powder insulator are examined by using boil-off calorimetry at pressure range from 50 Torr to 3 mTorr. The first material is perlite which is widely used in cryogenic application. Microsphere is the second one that is recently proposed as a replacement powder for liquid hydrogen storage tanks. It is a hollow sphere made of silica with the diameter in the order of 10 to $100{\mu}m$. Popped rice and polystyrene beads are also selected as candidates for powder insulation even though they are polymers. With their porous elliptic and spherical configuration and light density, they demonstrate fairly good thermal insulation performance at pressure range from 50 Torr to 3 mTorr. According to the experimental investigation in this paper, microsphere and polystyrene beads possess promising insulation characteristic as powder insulators and further study is desired.

Background: Thermophysiological comfort in a cold environment is mainly ensured by clothing. However, the thermal performance and protective abilities of textile fabrics may be sensitive to extreme environmental conditions. This article evaluated the thermal insulation properties of three technical textile assemblies and determined the influence of environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, and wind speed) on their insulation capacity. Methods: Thermal insulation capacity and air permeability of the assemblies were determined experimentally. A sweating-guarded hotplate apparatus, commonly called the "skin model," based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 11092 standard and simulating the heat transfer from the body surface to the environment through clothing material, was adopted for the thermal resistance measurements. Results: It was found that the assemblies lost about 85% of their thermal insulation with increasing wind speed from 0 to 16 km/h. Under certain conditions, values approaching 1 clo have been measured. On the other hand, the results showed that temperature variation in the range (-40℃, 30℃), as well as humidity ratio changes (5 g/kg, 20 g/kg), had a limited influence on the thermal insulation of the studied assemblies. Conclusion: The present study showed that the most important variable impacting the thermal performance and protective abilities of textile fabrics is the wind speed, a parameter not taken into account by ISO 11092.

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.

에어로젤은 지금까지 알려진 가장 단열성이 우수한 소재이지만 유연성이 없고 강도가 매우 낮아 부직포나 섬유에 에어로젤을 담지한 블랭킷이 현실적으로 가장 활용이 가능한 형태이다. 그러나 에어로젤 블랭킷도 분말 발생을 피할 수 없고 유연성이 부족하고 변형 가능성이 있는 문제가 있으므로 아직은 범용으로 사용되지는 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 진공 처리, 표면 처리, 복합 소재화 기술을 적용하였고 일부 시제품도 제작하였다. 에어로젤 블랭킷을 알루미늄 시트로 감싼 다음 네 끝을 봉하고 진공을 뽑으면 단열성이 블랭킷 자체보다도 우수한 소재가 될 수 있다. 에어로젤 블랭킷을 수지로 도포하여 표면 처리하면 에어로젤 성형체를 만들 수 있다. 에어로젤 블랭킷에 여러 겹으로 수지나 섬유로 라미네이팅하여 복합체로 만들면 유연성을 지닌 단열소재로 활용할 수 있다. 특히 기공이 조절된 테플론 멤브레인을 활용한 복합체는 투습 및 방수 기능까지 보유하여 의복에 사용할 수 있다. 수지와 섬유의 에어로젤 블랭킷 복합체를 활용하여 방한화용 깔창과 야외용 깔개 시제품도 제작하였다. 에어로젤을 활용하여 제작한 깔창 및 야외 깔개의 열전도는 20 mW m^-1 K^-1 이하로 단열성이 뛰어났으며, 유연성과 내구성도 우수하였다.

Epoxy/mica has been used as the material of high-voltage rotator stator winding due to its high insulation performance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. In recent years, however, it shows frequent changes in the load of generators and frequent automatic stops due to the significant increase in peak loads from the increase in the applied load of power facilities according to the introduction of advanced and high-technology equipments. Thus, it is necessary to develop new materials that highly develop the conventional insulation materials. Nanotechnology introduced in the present time has become an alternative plan that overcomes such technical limitations. In addition, the nano-scaled intercalation composite has been known as the material that represent excellent electrical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics compared to the conventional materials. This study investigated the dielectric dispersion and relaxation characteristics of the nanocomposite, which was fabricated by mixing epoxy matrix with nano-scaled intercalation mica and clay, according to changes in frequencies and temperatures.

Epoxy-Ceramic Composite have good insulating, therma1 and mechanical properties, so it is studied actively on this material. In this thesis, we made a composite material b)\ulcorner filling Epoxy Resin with ceramics treated with Sillane Coupling Agent and studied dielectric and insulating characteristics according to treatment density of Sillane Coupling Agent and weight percent of filler. As a result, loss tangent increase and electrical breakdown voltage decrease according to increasing treatment density of sillane coupling agent because Interface matching between matrix and filler is not good. The best treatment density of sillane coupling agent is 0.5% water solution, in this density the best interface matching is achieved so good dielectric and insulation characteristics are shown. Dielectric and insulation characteristics according to weight percent of filler are best at 25wt.

본 연구를 통해 superlite라 불리는 단열 파우더를 채용한 NO96 멤브레인 타입 LNG선 단열 화물창의 만선항해 시 LNG의 BOR(Boil-Off Rate) 예측모델을 제시하였다. LNGCC(LNG Cargo Containment)의 비정상상태 열전달 FEM모델은 만선항해 시 대기 및 해수 조건을 반영하고 복잡한 화물창 단열구조에 균질화 기법을 적용하여 구축하였다. BOR은 만선항해중 LNGCC 내부로 침입하는 총 열량을 이용하여 평가되었으며, 주요 변수에 따른 BOR의 변화는 파라메트릭 열전달해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 그리고 파라메트릭 BOR 특성해석 결과를 토대로 LNG선의 탱크 크기, 단열층의 두께 그리고 superlite의 열전도율을 함수로 하는 BOR 예측모델을 유도하였다. 비선형 과도 열전달해석을 통해 직접 구한 BOR과의 비교를 통해 유도한 예측모델은 최대 1% 이내의 상대오차를 나타내었다.

천장이나 배관에 설치된 보온재의 연소로 인해 화재가 확산되는 사례가 발생함에 따라 수계소화설비의 배관보온재는 난연재료 성능 이상의 것을 사용하고 있다. 배관보온재의 일부분을 시편으로 가공하여 난연성능을 평가하고 있지만 설치환경을 고려한 실규모시험을 통한 평가는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 널리 사용되고 있는 발포폴리에틸렌폼 및 고무발포보온재를 실규모 시험기준인 ISO 20632에 따라 시험하고 유럽의 난연성능 분류 기준과 비교하였다. 배관보온재 재료별로 상이한 난연성능을 보였으며, 특히 발포폴리에틸렌폼보온재의 경우 시공방법에 따라 화재성장율 및 열방출율이 달라졌다. 화재발생 시 배관보온재로 인한 연소확산을 지연시키기 위해서는 설치하는 대상공간의 특성을 고려한 난연성능 적용이 필요하며, 시공 시 사용하는 접착제와 테이프 등 부자재의 난연성 또한 고려해야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

A molded transformer is maintenance-free, which makes it unnecessary to replace the insulating material, like in an oil-filled transformer, because the epoxy, which is a molded insulating resin, does not suffer variations in its insulating performance for heat cycles over a long time, as compared to insulating oil. In spite of these advantages, a molded transformer may still be accessed by the user, which is not good in regards to reliability or noise compared to the oil transformers. In particular, a distrust exists regarding reliability due to the long-term insulating performance. These properties have been studied in regards to the improvement of epoxy composites and molded transformer insulation. There have nevertheless been insufficient investigations into the insulation properties of epoxy composites. In this study, it is a researching of the epoxy for insulating material. In order to prepare the specimens, a main resin, a hardener, an accelerator, and a nano/micro filler were used. Varying amounts of TiO2 and ZnO nano fillers were added to the epoxy mixture along with a fixed amount of micro silica. This paper presents the DC insulation breakdown test, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal conductivity results for the manufactured specimens. From these results, it has been found that the insulating performance of nano/micro epoxy composites is improved as compared to plain molded transformer insulation, and that nano/micro epoxy composites contribute to the reliability and compactness of molded transformers.
