Single and Double Layered Vacuum Insulation Panels of the Same Thickness in Comparison

Apr 02, 2012

The thickness of VIP used in the building envelope of primarily 20 mm in 2004 has reached a value of up to 60 mm in 2010. Hence a VIP double layer represents an alternative to thick single layers. The presented study on staggered, non-staggered and thick single VIP layer compares these alternatives with respect to thermal bridge and aging effects. These effects are both dependent on VIP thickness.
