Then, effect and the effect to present embodiment describes.
In the outsourcing material 12 of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11, contain first hygroscopic agent 14 and second hygroscopic agent 15.Therefore, in the manufacturing process of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11, sneak into the water vapour in the outsourcing material 12 or after the manufacturing of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11, see through the water vapour of outsourcing material 12, carry out moisture absorption by first hygroscopic agent 14 and second hygroscopic agents 15 that are arranged in the outsourcing material 12.
Thus, can make the thermal conductivity of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 can not improve.
Herein, first hygroscopic agent 14 contains magnesium oxide 14a and anhydrous magnesium chloride 14b.Therefore, in normal temperature environment for example under 10~30 ℃, first hygroscopic agent 14 is compared with the hygroscopic agent of the homogenous quantities that for example only is made of calcium oxide, can absorb more water vapour.
Therefore, can absorb the water vapour in the outsourcing material 12 for a long time, the moisture absorption excellent in te pins of durability of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11.
And then second hygroscopic agent 15 contains at least one side among calcium oxide 15a and the silica gel 15b.Therefore, in hot environment, for example in the environment in the shipping container during carrying under 50~70 ℃, can carry out moisture absorption to the moisture (water vapour) of discharging from first hygroscopic agent 14.
Therefore, in normal temperature environment and in the hot environment for example under 10~70 ℃, can fully carry out moisture absorption, and can further improve the durability of the moisture absorption of vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 for a long time to carrying out moisture absorption in the outsourcing material 12 to the water vapour in the outsourcing material 12.
For the hygroscopic effect of the vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 of confirming present embodiment, carry out Fig. 5 and hygroscopic test shown in Figure 6.
Fig. 5 and embodiment's sample (test portion) shown in Figure 6 are that first hygroscopic agent 14 (the magnesium oxide 14a of 5g and the anhydrous magnesium chloride 14b of 5g) of 10g and second hygroscopic agent 15 (being the magnesium oxide 15a of 10g in this test) of 10g are evenly mixed.
In addition, calcium oxide (CaO), the silica gel of sample (test portion) use are respectively 20g as a comparative example.And,, also magnesium oxide (MgO) 20g is tested for reference.
At first, confirm each test portion (embodiment's sample, each comparative sample) is being placed on the general test of the durability of each test portion of moisture absorption ratio of each test portion when indoor.
The result that each test portion places the moisture absorption ratio of indoor time (fate) and this moment has been shown among Fig. 5.In this test, embodiment's sample and each comparative sample are placed on general indoor (not adjusting the room (in the normal temperature environment) of room temperature and humidity), obtain the moisture absorption ratio.
The moisture absorption ratio be with the quality of the hygroscopic capacity of institute's moisture absorption in the stipulated time hygroscopic agent before divided by test and value (representing) with percentaeg.The hygroscopic capacity (g) of institute's moisture absorption in stipulated time, be " from the quality (quality that comprise the hygroscopic agent of moisture) of on-test through the hygroscopic agent of (Fig. 4; from 5 days on-tests, from 30 days on-tests) after the stipulated time " to be deducted " quality (g) of the hygroscopic agent before the test " obtain.
For example, when the quality of hygroscopic agent before the test is 20g, when the quality of hygroscopic agent after on-test is 26g, hygroscopic capacity=26 (g)-20 (g)=6 (g), the moisture absorption ratio is 6 (g) ÷, 20 (g) * 100 (%)=30 (%).
According to as can be known shown in Figure 5: in normal temperature environment, embodiment's sample and the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide, the hygroscopic agent that is made of silica gel are compared, and the hygroscopic capacity excellence promptly can be carried out moisture absorption and excellent in te pins of durability for a long time.
Then, confirm the test of the hygroscopic capacity of each test portion (embodiment's sample, each comparative sample) under each temperature.Illustrated among Fig. 6 each test portion in the hygroscopic capacity of the indoor placement that is retained as set point of temperature during the stipulated time.
Hygroscopic capacity is tried to achieve by deducting " quality of the hygroscopic agent before on-test " from " quality of the hygroscopic agent after the test ".Among Fig. 6, the hygroscopic capacity that the hygroscopic agent that the calcium oxide by 20g is constituted carries out moisture absorption is 20, uses the hygroscopic capacity of representing other test portions with the ratio of the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide.
For example as shown in Figure 6, embodiment's sample is being placed under 10 ℃ the indoor situation, the hygroscopic capacity of embodiment's sample is the twice of the hygroscopic capacity of the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide.In addition, be placed at the hygroscopic agent that will be made of magnesium oxide under 70 ℃ the indoor situation, the hygroscopic capacity of this hygroscopic agent is-20 with respect to the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide.
That is, the hygroscopic agent that is made of magnesium oxide when ambient temperature is 70 ℃, is discharged to the outside and to be equivalent to the hygroscopic agent that is made of the calcium oxide moisture in the amount of 70 ℃ of time institute's moisture absorptions.
As shown in Figure 6, when being benchmark with the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide, embodiment's sample is (10~30 ℃) in normal temperature environment, and hygroscopic capacity is more than the hygroscopic agent that is made of calcium oxide.In addition, embodiment's sample (50~70 ℃) hygroscopic capacity in hot environment is non-negative, does not promptly discharge the moisture (water vapour) of institute's moisture absorption.
Thus, to be housed in the exterior material 12 and the vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 that constitutes by first hygroscopic agent 14 that constitutes with embodiment's sample identical component and second hygroscopic agent 15, in normal temperature environment and in the hot environment, can fully carry out moisture absorption to the water vapour in the outsourcing material 12.
In the present embodiment,,, also can carry out moisture absorption reliably by second hygroscopic agent 15 even in hot environment, discharge moisture from first hygroscopic agent 14 owing to around first hygroscopic agent 14, dispose second hygroscopic agent 15.
Thus, even in hot environment, use vacuum heat-insulating plate 11, also can suppress thermal conductivity raising because of the vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 that causes from first hygroscopic agent, 14 discharge moisture.Therefore, if this vacuum heat-insulating plate 11 is installed (Group み Write む) in refrigerator, then can provide adiabaticity high refrigerator.
