TITLE OF THE INVENTION
HIGH RESISTANCE PANELS (HRP) FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to high resistance panels (HRP) used for thermal insulation and a method of manufacturing the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
HIGH RESISTANCE PANELS (HRP) FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to high resistance panels (HRP) used for thermal insulation and a method of manufacturing the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Heat transfers by three mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction is the molecule to molecule transfer of kinetic energy. Convection is the transfer of heat by physically moving the molecules from one place to another.
Radiation is the transfer of heat through a space between two objects via electromagnetic waves.
Conduction is the molecule to molecule transfer of kinetic energy. Convection is the transfer of heat by physically moving the molecules from one place to another.
Radiation is the transfer of heat through a space between two objects via electromagnetic waves.
[0003] The heat flow through solid materials is mainly by conduction. In stable heat transfer, the resistance to heat flow through solid materials can be described by Q = (Ti-T2)/R (1)
[0004] Where Q is heat flow per unit area, in w/m2 (Systeme International Unit), T1 is the higher temperature, in K, T2 is the lower temperature, in K, R is heat resistance, R-Value, in m2=K/w, defined as R= ........ (2)
[0005] Where us the thickness of material which heat transfers through, in m, and 2,, is thermal conductivity of the material, in w/(m=K), which can be found in the prior art.
[0006] In SI unit, an R-Value such as 5.5 may be indicated as RSI5.5. In non-SI unit, as an imperial unit, R-Value uses ft2. F=hr/Btu. The conversion between non-SI
and SI is: 1 ft2. F=hr/Btu = 0.1762 m2=K/w. Thus, RSI5.5 = R31.2.
and SI is: 1 ft2. F=hr/Btu = 0.1762 m2=K/w. Thus, RSI5.5 = R31.2.
[0007] The higher the R-Value of a material, the better it is to resist heat flow. R-Value of a material is measured in test laboratories. Heat flow through the layer of a material can be determined by keeping one side of the material at a constant higher temperature, for example, 90 F (32 C), and measuring how much supplemental energy is required to keep the other side of the material at a constant lower temperature, for example, 50 F (10 C).
Then the R-Value can be obtained from Equation (1).
Then the R-Value can be obtained from Equation (1).
[0008] Heat transfers in liquids (air, gases, water, etc.) also by convection.
In stable status, heat flux by convection can be expressed as Q = h (Ti-T2) (3)
In stable status, heat flux by convection can be expressed as Q = h (Ti-T2) (3)
[0009] Where h is heat transfer coefficient of convection, in w/(m2.1().
[0010] Heat convection is a combination of diffusion and bulk motion of molecules. Near the surface the fluid velocity is low, and diffusion dominates. Away from the surface, bulk motion increases the influence and dominates. Heat convection may take the form of either forced convection or natural convection. Forced convection occurs when a fluid flow is induced by an external force, such as a pump, a fan or a mixer. Natural convection is caused by buoyancy forces due to density differences caused by temperature variations in the fluid. At heating the density change in the boundary layer will cause the fluid to rise and be replaced by cooler fluid that also will heat and rise. Boiling or condensing processes are also referred as heat convection.
[0011] Heat transfer coefficient of convection h is dependent on the type of fluids, the flow properties such as velocity, viscosity and other flow and temperature dependent properties. Heat transfer coefficients of convection h can be found in the prior art.
[0012] Heat flux by radiation via a space between two objects can be expressed as Q = z (Ti4 ¨ T24) (4)
[0013] Where c is the emissivity of the surface, and a is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, 5.67037 x 10-8 w/(m2.K4).
[0014] Thermal radiation is the emission of electromagnetic waves from all matter that has a temperature greater than absolute zero. It represents a conversion of thermal energy into electromagnetic energy. Thermal energy results in kinetic energy in the random movements of atoms and molecules in matter. All matter with a temperature by definition is composed of particles which have kinetic energy, and which interact with each other.
These atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles, protons and electrons, and kinetic interactions among matter particles result in charge-acceleration and dipole-oscillation. This results in the electrodynamic generation of coupled electric and magnetic fields, resulting in the emission of photons, radiating energy away from the body through its surface boundary. Electromagnetic radiation does not require the presence of matter to propagate and travels in the vacuum of space infinitely far if unobstructed.

Electromagnetic radiation does not require the presence of matter to propagate and travels in the vacuum of space infinitely far if unobstructed.
[0015] The characteristics of thermal radiation depend on various properties of the surface it is emanating from, including temperature, spectral absorptivity and spectral emissive power.
[0016] Thermal radiation in a space within optical depth (for most insulation materials) is propagating via diffusion. A simple expression for conductivity of radiation can be used as follows X, = c T3/E (5)
[0017] Where X,- is thermal conductivity of radiation, in w/(m=K), c is constant related to material, radiation energy, etc., in w/(m2.1(4), T is absolute temperature, in K, and E is extinction coefficient, in 1/m, can be expressed as E = 1/d = p e (6)
[0018] Where d is the mean free path of the radiation photons, in m, p is density of material, in kg/m3, and e is mass specific extinction, in m2/kg.
[0019] The development of insulation materials is to make efforts to reduce heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation. Most insulation materials have been developed before 1950s, but the extensive application of thermal insulation started after the oil crisis in 1970s. Since the oil crisis, thermal insulation of buildings has become the key issue to prevent heat loss and to improve energy efficiency. The traditional thermal insulation takes air as the best insulator. The thermal conductivity of air of 0.024 w/(m=K) sets the limit of performance for such insulation materials. Presently, only vacuum technology in combination with microporous structures can achieve the thermal conductivity of less than 0.024 w/(m-K), that is, Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP).
[0020] In conventional insulation materials, such as fiberglass, foams, etc., three heat transfer mechanisms are required to consider. Heat transfer in gases (or air) by convection and conduction may be taken as a combination, being a thermal conductivity kg.
The overall thermal conductivity of an insulation material can be given as = kg ks + kr (7)
The overall thermal conductivity of an insulation material can be given as = kg ks + kr (7)
[0021] Where kg is thermal conductivity of gases (or air) in pores combining heat conduction and convection, in w/(m=K), ks is thermal conductivity of the solid, in w/(m-K), and kr is thermal conductivity by radiation, in w/(m=K).
[0022] Normal insulation materials have typical overall thermal conductivity of 0.035 to 0.06 w/(m=K). To reduce overall thermal conductivity of insulation materials, VIP has been developed. VIP is to reduce kg and kr. VIP is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a nearly gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. VIP consists of three main components:
[0023] (1) Walls: membrane walls or enclosures, used to prevent gases (or air) from entering the panel.
[0024] (2) Core: a panel of a rigid, highly-porous material, such as fumed silica, aerogel, perlite or fibres (glass fibres, mineral wool, etc.), to support the walls against atmospheric pressure once the air is evacuated.
[0025] (3) Getter: to collect gases (or air) leaked through the walls or offgassed from the core and wall materials.
[0026] Heat convection relies on the presence of gas molecules able to transfer heat energy by bulk movement through the insulator. Vacuum can reduce heat convection.
Vacuum also greatly reduces heat conduction of gases (or air), as there are far fewer collisions between adjacent gas molecules, or between gas molecules and atoms of the core material.
Vacuum also greatly reduces heat conduction of gases (or air), as there are far fewer collisions between adjacent gas molecules, or between gas molecules and atoms of the core material.
[0027] Since the core material in a VIP is similar in thermal characteristics to materials used in conventional insulation, VIP therefore achieves a much lower thermal conductivity than conventional insulation materials. VIP is claimed to achieve an overall thermal conductivity of 0.004 w/(m=K) across the centre of the VIP, or an overall thermal conductivity of 0.006-0.008 w/(m-K) after allowing for thermal bridging across the VIP
edges.
edges.
[0028] Core materials used in VIP are normally polyurethane (PUR) foam, expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam, silica gels, aerogels, fumed silica, glass fibres, polymer beds, perlite, etc. which are believed to be rigid to provide strength to support the walls and have lower thermal conductivity ks. Under fully evacuated, in microporous structure, heat convection and radiation in VIP are considered to be negligible.
[0029] In practical application, it is difficult to maintain vacuum in a VIP.
A lot of efforts have been made to improve structure of VIP in last decades. Improvement of VIP
is the development of "maintenance of vacuum". Laminated plastic and aluminum sheets, or metal layer with a surface protection layer, can be used as wall materials for VIP, for example, in US Pat.

[0031] As described above, a lot of improvements for VIP have been obtained.
However, some problems still exist in VIP as high thermal resistance panels for thermal insulation, which are: (1) It is difficult to maintain vacuum for long enough for serving as conventional insulation materials. (2) Materials for walls, core and getter of VIP, and sealing VIP are expensive. (3) It is not possible to cut to sizes to fit the installations. (4) Thermal bridging across the VIP edges increases heat transfer and reduces overall heat resistance. These problems limit the practical application of VIP.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0038] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved and modified structure and mechanism to resolve the problems in conventional insulation materials and VIP described above. A newly developed mechanism in the present invention is to reduce total kinetic energy of air or gas molecules in voids in conventional insulation materials and VIP by spatial continuous infinite structures of phononic cocrystals, as defined in the present invention, in which continuous infinite and infinitesimal voids exist.
And the elimination in heat radiation is reached by low emissivity of material surfaces. This constructs High Resistance Panels (HRP), which is comprised of low emissivity of surfaces, support materials in between the surfaces, and phononic cocrystals which are distributed on the low emissivity of surfaces, or mixed in support materials or on surfaces of support materials. The structure of support materials is in a honeycomb structure instead of powders or fibres as in conventional insulation materials and VIP. Several HRP can stack together to meet the requirements of thickness and thermal resistance in application.
HRP can reach a low overall thermal conductivity comparable to VIP.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0047] VIP can provide low thermal conductivity for insulation. The keys in VIP are vacuum technology and microporous structure. Vacuum is a space that is devoid of matters, or a region with a gaseous pressure less than atmospheric pressure.
In practice, the vacuum is partial vacuum. Less air molecules in voids of core materials of VIP
eliminates heat conduction and convection by reduction in total kinetic energy of air molecules, or increase in the mean free path of air molecules (more space for molecules), therefore less collisions between air molecules. Heat transfer by radiation can be eliminated by micro scale of voids in VIP with microporous structure, provided that the sizes of voids are less than the mean free path of photons.

And the elimination in heat radiation is reached by low emissivity of material surfaces.
[0049] Cocrystal is a crystalline structure made up of two or more components, where each component is defined as either an ion, an atom, or a molecule to form a joint super lattice, by a definite stoichiometric ratio between the components as each pure component has its own distinct bulk lattice arrangement. This includes many types of compounds, such as hydrates, solvates, clathrates, and eutectics, which represent the basic principle of host-guest chemistry. Spatial continuous infinite different structures of cocrystals are a mixture comprised of infinite different structures of cocrystals. The spatial continuity is defined to be as in an atomic or molecular level in stoichiometric ratio between different pure cocrystals. The "different structures" means that contiguous cocrystals are completely different in structures. In spatial continuous infinite structures of cocrystals there are very small voids between super lattices. The sizes of the voids are less than the mean free path of phonons. For convenient description, the cocrystals are named as "phononic cocrystals"
or "phononic eutectics", or "photonic cocrystals". "Phononic cocrystals"
represents all the names used in the context. It is shown from theory of thermal conductivity of matters that phonons can be scattered by crystal defects which reduce the thermal conductivity of crystals because the defects produce local variations of sound velocity through change in density or elastic constants. The defects in the phononic cocrystals provided by the voids greatly reduce the thermal conductivity to a very low level. The charge-acceleration and dipole oscillation by kinetic interactions among particles in the phononic cocrystals result in the electrodynamic generation of coupled electric and magnetic fields, which propagate as waves around the space surrounding the phononic cocrystals, and interfere with the matters (air or gases) in the space, reducing their total kinetic energy, and then resulting in a reduction in heat transfer.

[0050] Heat radiation from a material through a space larger than optical depth is greatly related to the emissivity of material surfaces. A low emissivity of surface can eliminate heat transfer by radiation. Surface of foils of aluminum or its alloys has emissivity of 0.03 which is much less than most materials used for insulation. Surface of silver has a lower emissivity of 0.02-0.03 but silver is much more expensive.
[0051] HRP in the invention overcomes the disadvantages of conventional insulation materials and VIP. HRP mainly includes the following improvements and modifications:
(1) Phononic cocrystals provide a low thermal conductivity. (2) Reduction in kinetic energy of air or gas molecules in the spaces of support materials by the phononic cocrystals results in reduction in heat transfer. (3) Low emissivity of surfaces reduces heat transfer by radiation. (4) HRP can be cut to any sizes to meet requirements of installation.
(4) No thermal bridging on edges. (5) HRP can stack or pile up to a thickness to meet requirements of installation and heat resistance.

[0052] One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. A HRP

consists of two impermeable barriers and backings 1, two surfaces 2 with a low emissivity facing each other in direction of heat transfer and coated with phononic cocrystals, support materials 4 for a structure and cell spaces 3.
[0053] The materials for impermeable barrier and backing can be aluminum foils, metallised films which are polymer films coated with a thin layer of metal usually aluminum, metal plates, plastics laminated with metal films or by a means of deposition or coating, having very high impermeability and sufficient strength. Low emissivity of surfaces can be provided by aluminum foils or metallised films. The phononic cocrystals are mixed with a clear and transparent adhesive and coated on the surfaces.
The adhesive can be glues made from polyvinyl acetate, hot melt adhesives, or pressure-sensitive adhesives. The adhesive also performs as a binder to glue the support materials to the surfaces. The support materials are natural fibres, glass fibres, rock wool, plastics, and other inorganic materials, and their mixtures, and made to form sheets, for example, paper sheets and the like, and then from sheets to form a honeycomb structure using the methods in the prior art. After sufficient strength has been considered, the thinner the sheets, the less heat transfer through the sheets.

[0054] Honeycomb structures allow the minimization of the amount of support materials to reach minimal weight and maximum strength. A hexagonal honeycomb structure for support materials of HRP in the invention is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. A
regular cubic honeycomb structure is shown in FIG. 4.
regular cubic honeycomb structure is shown in FIG. 4.
[0055] The phononic cocrystals by the definition in the invention are a mixture of spatial continuous infinite different structures of cocrystals.
[0056] The phononic cocrystals can be constituted from salt hydrates and fusion (melting) temperature-depressing salts that are generally non-hydrated salts in a high viscosity of polymer solution. A simple method and process are described as follows: (1) Mixing a salt hydrate with a fusion (melting) temperature-depressing salt at a ratio in a polymer solution. (2) Heating the solution to a temperature at which the salt hydrate and the fusion (melting) temperature-depressing salt melt completely. (3) Then gradually cooling the mixture without agitation to form the cocrystals. The high viscosity in the solution plays an important role in the process. The formation of phononic cocrystals in the process is induced by the spatial difference of ion concentrations in the solution with high viscosity. When the mixture is being cooled, a eutectic in a space is formed and the ions in the surrounding are being consumed. A different eutectic will be formed in the adjacent space, because the high viscosity reduces the ions to migrate to the space.
[0057] The phononic cocrystals can also be formed from molten salts with different melting temperatures. The low melting point of salt provides high viscosity when heated to a molten status. The other salts with high melting points as powders are distributed in the molten salt. The mixture is heated to melt, then is gradually cooled without agitation to form phononic cocrystals.
[0058] Furthermore, the phononic cocrystals can be formed from metal oxides during oxidation and water soluble salts where water acts as a catalyst. A simple example is that iron oxides from the oxidation of iron and sodium chloride constitute phononic cocrystals.
Saturated solution of sodium chloride is mixed with iron powders and exposed to air or oxygen for oxidation while it is being cooled. The iron oxides formed absorb water, and sodium chloride crystals are seeded out with iron oxides to form eutectics.
Due to the concentration gradients of sodium chloride spatially in the mixture, different eutectics are formed. In this process, the oxidation consumes oxygen in air. If the closed cells are formed by support materials, the absence of oxygen in air can produce partial vacuum in the cells, resulting in a reduction in total kinetic energy of air.

[0059] The phononic cocrystals formed from the processes described above are not perfect because they are greatly dependent on the control of formation conditions. The perfect phononic cocrystals can be made by modern nano technology.
[0060] The quantity of phononic cocrystals in HRP, coated on surfaces or mixed with support materials, depends on the structure and volume of honeycomb cells by the support materials. The thickness of HRP depends on the sizes of honeycomb structures, thickness and strength of sheets made from support materials, and strength requirement for the application. It is suggested that 0.2 mg to 2 mg of phononic cocrystals per cubic centimeter of total volume of HRP be appropriate for the purpose, preferably 0.5 mg to 1.5 mg. The thickness of HRP (in heat transfer direction) can be 1 mm to 60 mm, preferably 3 to 15 mm. The thickness of sheets made from support materials can be in a range of 0.02 mm to 2 mm, preferably 0.05 mm to 1 mm. The area of each honeycomb cell, perpendicular to heat transfer direction, can be in a range of 0.1 mm2 to 1 x 106 mm2, preferably 1 mm2 to 1 x 103 mm2. The volume of a cell in honeycomb structure made from support materials can be 0.1 mm3 to 106 mm3, preferably 0.5 mm3 to1 x 105 mm3.
[0061] Two or more HRP can be stacked or piled up to form a thickness to meet requirements for installation and heat resistance. FIG. 5 shows two layers of HRP stack, and FIG. 6 shows three layers of HRP stack. The impermeable barrier 5 between two HRP
