Definitions
- This invention relates to panels of thermal insulating material, and particularly to panels incorporating microporous insulating material.
- microporous material means a porous material in which the mean pore size is less than the mean free path of an air molecule at normal temperature and pressure.
- Such materials can form extremely efficient insulators and may be made, for example, from a silica aerogel (a gel in which the liquid phase is replaced with air or other gas without permitting disruption of the structure by capillary forces), from an open lattice material obtained by precipitation from a silica solution under controlled conditions of temperature and pH, or from equivalent open lattice silica structures such as fumed pyrogenic or electro-thermal types (e.g. made by high temperature hydrolysis of a silicon tetrahalide such as silicon tetrachloride) in which the average particle size is less than 100 nanometers.
- silica aerogel a gel in which the liquid phase is replaced with air or other gas without permitting disruption of the structure by capillary forces
- an open lattice material obtained by precipitation from a silica solution under controlled conditions of temperature and pH
- microporous materials are typically mixed with a reinforcing fibre of a ceramic material such as aluminosilicate, and with an opacifier such as titanium dioxide powder to block transmission of infrared radiation through the insulation.
- a ceramic material such as aluminosilicate
- an opacifier such as titanium dioxide powder to block transmission of infrared radiation through the insulation.
- the material must be compressed to a density (typically 200 kg/cubic m or more) which is several times higher than its intrinsic density, in order to produce a satisfactory insulator.
- the insulating material is compressed into a shallow, flat tray which has been previously pressed from a metal sheet. This has the problem that manufacture of the tray requires special tooling to produce each required shape and size of tray, with consequent high cost of manufacture, especially for small quantities.
- a panel of thermal insulating material incorporating a layer of compressed microporous insulating material, characterised in that said layer is disposed in a tray having peripheral portions of relatively rigid material and a membrane of flexible material extending between said peripheral portions and across a face of said layer.
- the peripheral portions may be made of a material such as metal, plastic or glass fibre, for example in strip form, and may be spot-welded together.
- the membrane may be a foil, of a metal such as aluminium, and may be secured to the peripheral portions for example by adhesive.
- the peripheral portions preferably have a base section and a flange, so that the membrane may be secured to these base sections.
- a method of manufacturing a panel of thermal insulating material characterised by the steps of securing together pieces of relatively rigid material to form a periphery of a tray, securing a membrane of flexible material to extend between said peripheral pieces and form a base for said tray, and compressing microporous insulating material into said tray.
- the tray may be urged against a member (for example a sheet over part of a press tool) having a surface pattern which is pressed into the membrane; this serves to remove blemishes and provide an attractive appearance.
- a panel 10 of thermal insulating material comprises a layer of microporous insulating material 12 compressed into a tray 14.
- the insulating material 12 is a mixture of silica aerogel, ceramic reinforcement fibre and titanium dioxide opacifier, such as that made and sold under the trade mark MICROTHERM by Micropore International Limited.
- the periphery of the tray 14 is made of four lengths 16 of flanged galvanised steel strip which have butted flanges 18 and overlapping base sections 20. These base sections are spot-welded together where they overlap to provide the tray with strength and rigidity.
- a sheet of self-adhesive aluminium foil 22 is secured by its adhesive to the underside of the base sections 20 to form a membrane extending across and providing a base for the tray 14 and closing the aperture framed by the peripheral portions 16.
- the sheet 22 extends across one face of the layer of insulating material 12. If the sheet 22 has adhesive over its whole surface, the insulating material 12 will stick to the adhesive but this is not essential.
- the panel 10 is made by first cutting flanged strip to provide four peripheral portions 16 of the required lengths.
- Many sizes and shapes of tray can be made from a supply of a single kind of flanged strip by appropriate choice of these lengths, thereby effecting significant economies compared to the use of one-piece trays pressed from sheet material.
- a sheet 22 of self-adhesive aluminium foil is cut to size and stuck to the underside of the base sections, and the tray 14 thus formed is placed in a press (indicated at 30 in Figure 4).
- a lower tool 32 of the press 30 has a raised surface pattern.
- This can conveniently be provided with a sheet 34 of material having a regular pattern of projections from its surface, for example a sheet of so-called 'expanded metal' having louvre-like perforations separated by ridges of raised material.
- This sheet 34 is simply placed on the lower press tool 32 under the tray 14.
- microporous material mixture 12 is placed in the press tool 30 and an upper tool 36 is brought down to compress the mixture 12 to an appropriate density (typically 200 kg/cubic m or more).
- an appropriate density typically 200 kg/cubic m or more.
- the upper tool 36 is raised and the completed panel 10 is extracted.
- the sheet 34 embosses the sheet 22 of aluminium foil with a pattern complementary to its own surface, thereby removing surface blemishes such as creases and providing a neat and attractive finish.
- the panel 10 is surprisingly robust and can withstand handling without damage or deformation.
- the peripheral portions 16 may be made of a non-metallic material such as plastic or glass fibre; the material used need not be completely rigid, but is of course relatively much more rigid than either the insulating material 12 or the sheet 22.
- the sheet 22 may be made of a material other than aluminium foil.
- the microporous insulating material may incorporate microporous materials other than silica aerogel, in particular a precipitated silica; and fibres other than ceramic fibre may be used, for example glass fibre.
