In these windows, there is a double window in which two glass pieces are spaced at regular intervals to form a space portion between two glass pieces, but the conduction heat loss caused by the air existing in the space portion is large.

Therefore, there is a double window which is injected with a low thermal conductivity gas (ARGON GAS, KRYPTON GAS) in the space, but these double windows have a limitation in lowering the heat loss.

Therefore, a vacuum window excellent in the heat insulating property has been developed to overcome the disadvantages of the double window described above.

Vacuum windows maintain vacuum (10-6 torr) in a narrow space between windshields to prevent the convection and conduction heat losses generated by the gas and air existing between the windows. By this way, the heat conduction rate is almost 0.6 ~ It is a double window that can drop to 1.0 W / ㎥K.

In order to prevent the glass and glass surfaces from being in contact with each other by the vacuum force during the vacuum operation for maintaining a vacuum in the space between the glasses in manufacturing and producing the vacuum window, a filler PILLAR ).
