  3. 2. Vacuum insulation in buildings : Means to prolong service life

    Författare :Thomas I. Thorsell; Gudni Jóhannesson; Christer Sjöström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vacuum insulation; thermal bridge; serpentine edge; coated film; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Vacuum insulation panels, VIPs, constitute a new insulation material, 6 to 8 times better than traditional insulation materials, which utilizes the positive influence vacuum has on the thermal properties of certain materials. A VIP is a composite with a flat core enclosed by an envelope preventing the core to fill with gas. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hydrological processes in firn on Storglaciären, Sweden

    Författare :Thomas Schneider; Andrew G. Fountain; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geography; Physical Geography; geografi med naturgeografisk inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding hydrological processes in temperate glaciers is important for both scientific and practical issues. Modelling glacier response to climatic change and the use of water from glaciers for electric power generation are some topics that require detailed information on water storage and drainage in glaciers.
