열주기법은 다공성 소재의 열확산도를 측정하는데 유용한 방법이다. 본 논문의 주 목적은 진공환경에서 다공성 소재의 열확산도 측정 시스템을 개발하고 검증하는데 있다. 이 방법을 검증하기 위하여 알루미나 시편과 폴리스티렌 폼의 열확산도를 측정하였다. 이 시편들의 열확산도는 참고값과 일치하였다. 탄소/에폭시 소재와 다공성 단열소재의 열확산도를 대기상온과 대기진공 환경에서 측정하였다. 탄소/에폭시 소재와 다공성 단열소재의 진공환경에서 열확산도는 대기환경에 비하여 각각 66.4%와 64.9% 감소하였다. 이 차이는 소재내의 기공에 있는 공기의 영향으로 추정된다.

친환경 건축물에 사용되는 미네랄울, 폴리우레탄 등 전통적인 단열재로부터 최근에 주목받고 있는 VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panel), 에어로젤, 그리고 미래기술로 연구되고 있는 VIM (Vacuum Insulation Material), DIM (Dynamic Insulation Material) 등 단열재 및 단열 시스템의 특성과 장단점을 비교하였다. 매우 낮은 열전도율을 지닌 VIP 및 에어로젤은 기존 단열재에 비해 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있으므로 주거면적을 크게 확대할 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 특히 에어로젤은 반투명 및 투명재질로 만들 수 있어 건물에 응용될 수 있는 가능성이 매우 크다. 단열재는 낮은 열전도율뿐만 아니라, 건설현장 응용성, 기계적강도, 내화성, 비용 및 환경영향 등을 고려하여야 하므로, 전통적인 단열재 및 최신 단열재를 활용하고 지속적으로 개선시키는 노력을 해야 할 것이다.

Energy efficiency solutions are being pursued as a sustainable approach to reducing energy consumption and related gas emissions across various sectors of the economy. Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) is an energy efficient advanced insulation system that facilitates slim but high-performance insulation, based on a porous core material evacuated and encapsulated in a barrier envelope. Although VIP has been applied in buildings for over a decade, it wasn't until recently that efforts have been initiated to propose and adopt a global standard on characterization and testing of VIP. One of the issues regarding VIP is its durability and aging due to pressure and moisture dependent increase of the initial low thermal conductivity with time; more so in building applications. In this paper, the aging of commercially available VIP was investigated experimentally; thermal conductivity was tested in accordance with ISO 8302 standard (guarded hot box method) and long-term durability was estimated based on a non-linear pressure-humidity dependent equation based on study of IEA/ECBCS Annex 39, with the aim of assessing durability of VIP for use in buildings. The center-of-panel thermal conductivity after 25 years based on initial 90% fractile with a confidence level of 90 % for the thermal conductivity (${\lambda}90/90$) ranged from 0.00726-0.00814 (W/m K) for silica core VIP. Significant differences between manufacturer-provided data and measurements of thermal conductivity and internal pressure were observed.

Cryogenic insulation systems, with proper materials selection and execution, can offer the highest levels of thermal performance. Insulations are listed in order of increasing performance and, generally, in order of increasing cost. The specific insulation to be used for a particular application is determined through a compromise between cost, ease of application and the effectiveness of the insulation. Consequently, materials, representative test conditions, and engineering approach for the particular application are crucial to achieve the optimum result. The present work is based on energy cost balance for optimizing the thickness of insulated chambers, using foamed or multi layered cryogenic shell. The considered insulation is a uniformly applied outer layer whose thickness varies with the initial and boundary conditions of the studied vessel under steady-state radial heat transfer. An expression of the optimal insulation thickness derived from the total cost function and depending on the geometrical parameters of the container is presented.

The most compact and convenient pulse tube cryocooler for practical applications is the coaxial type. It can replace Stirling cryocooler without any change to the Dewar or the connection to the cooled devices. The experimental results of the coaxial inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler for cooling superconductor RF filter are presented in this paper. To find optimal conditions of inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler, no load temperature according to the variations of inertance tube volume, reservoir volume are measured, and the cool down characteristics at the particular conditions are presented. In case of the coaxial type inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator, cool down time is the lowest in the inertance tube diameter of 1.3 mm and inertance tube length of 1900 mm and lowest temperature is 112K. This results are not satisfactory for practical applications. So, We propose vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube in the Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler. Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler with the vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube was designed and manufactured by KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials). The optimal conditions will be tested for Stirling type coaxial pulse tube cryocooler with the vacuum insulation between regenerator and pulse tube.

The objective of this study is to analyze the deformational characteristics of a high-vacuum insulation panel that is evacuated to eliminate significant gas-phase conductance through its thickness. The panel is composed of a metal envelope and low thermal conductance spacers. The problem is very challenging because several nonlinearities are involved concurrently. Not only are various finite element models such as triangular, rectangular, beam and circular plate models used to simulate the panel, but also several finite element programs are used to solve the problem based on the characteristics of the finite element model. The numerical results indicate that the effect of the diameter of the spacer on the vertical deformation of the plate panel is negligibly small. The parameter that mainly influences the maximum sag is the spacing between the spacers. The maximum vertical deformation of the panel can be predicted for a practical range of the spacing between the spacers and the thickness of the plate. Compared with the numerical results obtained by the finite element models and the experimental tests, they have a good agreement. The results are represented in both tabular and graphical forms. In order to make the results useful, a curve fitting technique has been applied to predict the maximum deformation of the panel with various parameters. Moreover, the panel was suggested to be a "smart" structure based on thermal effect.
