  1. 1. Advances in Thermal Insulation : Vacuum Insulation Panels and Thermal Efficiency to Reduce Energy Usage in Buildings

    Författare :Thomas Thorsell; Folke Björk; Mark Bomberg; Targo Kalamees; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vacuum insulation panels; VIP; serpentine edge; thermal bridge; composite film; gas diffusion; defect dominated; holistic approach; building enclosure; integrated testing and modeling; energy equivalent; field performance; air flow; thermal insulation efficiency;

    Sammanfattning : We are coming to realize that there is an urgent need to reduce energy usage in buildings and it has to be done in a sustainable way. This thesis focuses on the performance of the building envelope; more precisely thermal performance of walls and super insulation material in the form of vacuum insulation. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Today’s buildings are responsible for 40% of the world’s energy use and also a substantial share of the Global Warming Potential (GWP). In Sweden, about 21% of the energy use can be related to the heat losses through the climatic envelope. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Insulation materials in district heating pipes : Environmental and thermal performance of polyethylene terephthalate and polyurethane foam

    Författare :Sara Mangs; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HFC-365mfc; insulation; District heating pipe; 3-pentafluorobutane; cyclopentane; 3; 1; mass transport; 1; 1; thermal performance; polyurethane foam; polyethylene terephthtalate foam;

    Sammanfattning : District heating can contribute to increased energy efficiency in society. The environmental impact can be reduced by minimising the heat losses in the district heating pipes during distribution of the heat to the customers. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Environmental and Thermal Performance of District Heating Pipes

    Författare :Morgan Fröling; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; district heat distribution; cyclopentane; district heating pipe; long-term thermal performance; life cycle assessment; insulation; polyurethane foam; environmental performance; carbon dioxide; HFC-365mfc;

    Sammanfattning : In order to move towards a sustainable society we need to increase the efficiency of our use of available resources, not only in economic terms but also in ecological terms. District heating, the utilisation of centrally produced heat for space heating and domestic hot water generation, has the potential to contribute to the eco-efficient use of energy resources in the parts of the world where space heating is needed.
