Definitions
- the present invention relates to a series of sets of wall insulation panels for a modular wall insulating system, each panel including a one or more vacuum insulating panels, as well as wall insulation cladding comprising said wall insulation panels.
- Vacuum insulation panels are a highly efficient advanced thermal insulation technology, having at least 3-7 times more effective insulation ability than conventional plastic foams or fibrous insulation. VIP panels are used to enhance the performance of static goods such as refrigerators, and in refrigerated vehicles.
- VIP panels are increasingly being used or proposed to be used in the insulation of buildings, especially with the aim of making buildings more thermally efficient.
- VIP panels are generally more compact (by being thinner) than existing insulation panels, ensuring savings in both space and energy. Insulation within ‘cavity’ walls is well known, but increasingly it is desired to improve the insulation on the outside walls of buildings.
- outer wall insulation for buildings is provided by solid panels formed with traditional foam or fibrous insulation.
- Such panels provide a robust product able to withstand handling during the construction and insulating processes, as well as being able to be cut and shaped into any size, and be secured to the wall by easy fixing methods including nails and other fixing brackets, which can deliberately or accidently go through such panels without affecting it properties.
- VIP panels by involving a vacuum, are generally less robust, and require at least some protection during installation and fixing to withstand the handling involved.
- VIP panels for building purposes are completely enveloped in foam protective layers in the form of a ‘sandwich’, being only of one-size or shape which does not allow for any significant re-sizing.
- foam protective layers in the form of a ‘sandwich’, being only of one-size or shape which does not allow for any significant re-sizing.
- Such conventional panels cannot be cut or significantly trimmed into any shape, as that would cut through the VIP panel itself, negating the vacuum insulation effect. They can also not be secured to a wall except by their edges, to again avoid cutting the VIP panel inside.
- each wall insulating panel comprising at least the successive layers of: a first protective shell, one or more intermediate VIP panels; and a second protective shell; characterised in that the wall insulating panels of the series comprise two or more sets, each set comprising first and second protective shells having wholly or substantially the same outer dimensions, and at least first and second sets comprising either:
- different wall insulating panels from the same series of VIP-based panels of the present invention can be used to suit areas of the wall to be insulated which are not regular, or which require distinct gaps such as windows, doors or other portals, as well as to suit edges of the wall that may not exactly match the complete dimensions of VIP wall insulating panels.
- the wall insulating panels of the present invention include one or more panels having at least 20% or 25% or 35% or 40% or 45% or 50% or 55% or 60% or 65% or 70% or 75% of its external or internal length or space without one or more intermediate VIP panels: which areas of the wall insulation panels having such non-VIP inclusion can be cut to provide a necessary or desired final wall insulation panel shape required for specified wall positions.
- the first and second protective shells of all the sets of wall insulating panels of the present invention have the same outer dimensions, in particular length, height and depth.
- the wall insulating panels of the present invention are regularly shaped, including but not limited to being square, rectangular or polygonal: more preferably being of a shape able to tessellate.
- the wall insulation panels may be rectangular at approximately 2 to 1 side ratio.
- the wall insulation panels of the present invention are usable on any type, form and extent of wall, being for example an inner wall, outer wall, ceiling, roof, floor, door or any other surface intended to provide a similar structure, and not limited thereto.
- the nature, extent, design and shape of the wall are not limiting factors to the present invention.
- the wall insulation panel is usable on the outer wall of a building.
- each first protective shell is not limiting to the present invention. It can be formed of any suitable material, preferably a durable plastic foam, and more preferably selected from the group consisting of expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyurethane (PU), PIR (Polyisocyanurate foam), aluminium or any rigid plastic.
- EPS expanded polystyrene
- XPS extruded polystyrene
- PU polyurethane
- PIR Polyisocyanurate foam
- each second protective shell is not limiting to the same invention, and can be the same or different to that of the first protective shell.
- the second protective shell can also be formed of any suitable material, more preferably a durable plastic foam, and even more preferably selected from the group consisting of expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyurethane (PU), polyurethane (PU), PIR (Polyisocyanurate foam), aluminium or any rigid plastic.
- EPS expanded polystyrene
- XPS extruded polystyrene
- PU polyurethane
- PU polyurethane
- PIR Polyisocyanurate foam
- Each second protective shell has an outward facing surface.
- the term “outward” is used herein to mean the opposite to the wall-meeting surface, in the same way that most building walls have an inner facing surface and an outer or outward facing surface.
- the “outward” facing surface of a panel is that surface of the panel which is still visible following the application of the panel to a wall.
- first and second protective shells have the same or similar nature, size, shape and design to simplify the manufacturing process.
- each set comprises the same first and second protective shells, optionally formed of the same material.
- Typical but not limiting dimensions of the wall insulation panels could be in the range 0.3 m to 2.5 m ‘wide’, 0.3 m to 4 m ‘tall’, and 50 mm to 500 m ‘thick’.
- a clear benefit of the present invention is the provision of any number, range or combination of differently shaped or smaller/larger wall insulation panels, based on the easy manufacture of differently shaped, etc. first and second protective shells, whilst still using (a different number of and/or a different arrangement of) existing-shaped VIP panels.
- the first and second protective shells are moulded, or otherwise formed by a moulding process, including but not limited to blow moulding and injection moulding.
- the first and second protective shells may be pre-manufactured and then sandwiched to the VIP panel(s) (for example using adhesives), or the whole insulating panel may be produced by curing foam around one or more VIP panels.
- a not yet reacted liquid foam (possibly having the consistency of shaving cream), is poured onto one side of the VIP panel(s), and the combination put through a press, such as a “mangle”, and then the same process is carried out on the other face of the VIP panel(s).
- the first and second protective shells of the present invention form a multiple cavity thereinbetween for the accommodation of a variable number of VIP panels, variable shaped VIP panels, or both.
- wall insulating panel including one or more VIP panels, and comprising first and second moulded protective shells having wholly or substantially the same outer dimensions and forming a multiple cavity thereinbetween, said shells able to accommodate either:
- the intermediate VIP panels of the present invention may have any suitable nature, size, shape and design accommodatable between the first and second protective shells.
- the VIP panels may be formed of any suitable outer film, membrane, wall, covering, etc., generally termed the ‘membrane material’, within which there is a vacuum.
- the vacuum may be of any suitable pressure, generally being lower than ‘ambient’ or ‘atmospheric’ pressure, such as less than 5 mbar for fumed silica filled VIP, and less than 1 mbar for mineral wool filled VIP.
- the vacuum pressure may be related to the size and other construction parameters of the VIP panel.
- the VIP panels may include one or more internal media.
- Internal media include materials such as aerogel, silica, especially fumed silica, fibreglass and micro fibreglass.
- the VIP panels used in the present invention are fumed silica VIP panels, available from Dow Coming Corporation of Midland, MI, USA.
- a membrane material such as aluminium foil has good vacuum-resisting properties, as well as being easily ‘sealable’ during the method of manufacturing the VIP panels.
- One or more further layers or coverings may be within or without the membrane material.
- the wall insulation panels of the present invention may further comprise one or more expansion regions between at least one of the first and second protective shells and the or each intermediate VIP panel to allow for expansion of the or each VIP panel without deformation of the outward facing surface of the second panel.
- the integrity of the outward facing surface can be maintained. This includes but is not limited to, being a barrier against the environment, in particular the weather, as well as the aesthetic appearance of the outward facing surface, or any further layer or surface or material added on to the outward facing surface whose integrity would be affected by the integrity of the outward facing surface. For example, any deformation in the outward facing surface would crack a rendered layer added thereon, allowing moisture ingress (and associated problems), as well as looking unsightly.
- the expansion region may comprise any area or space able to accommodate expansion of the vacuum insulation panel within the dimensions of the wall insulation panel, without affecting the shape or plane of the outward facing surface of the second protective shell.
- the expansion region includes a compensation layer.
- the compensation layer optionally comprises one or more layers and/or materials, and is able to compensate, in two or three dimensions, any expansion in the size of the VIP panel, without deforming the outward facing surface of the second protective shell.
- the compensation layer comprises one or more solid or semi-solid materials, at least a portion of which is deformable to accommodate expansion of the VIP panel.
- the compensation layer may be formed from one or more materials, being the same or different, wherein at least one of said materials is deformable and at least one of said materials is non-deformable by deformation or expansion of the VIP panel.
- the ‘different’ materials of the compensation layer may include a material having the same chemical or material composition, such as one or more plastics, but having different properties, such as different density, molecular weight, etc.
- Plastics such as EPS are available at different densities, molecular weights, etc., to provide the same type of plastic, but with different properties, especially different mechanical properties such as strength.
- the expansion region is formed of one or more deformable materials as defined above and one or more gaseous areas or spaces, such as one or more air spaces or pockets.
- the expansion region or compensation layer includes one or more of the group comprising: ribs, tubes, springs and a soft and/or compressible material, for instance, a very soft foam.
- the expansion region comprises one or more of the group comprising: ribs, tubes, springs, low density soft foam, adhered ribs or tubes, extended ribs or tubes, silicone foams. Any such series of ribs or tubes, etc. could extend between a VIP facing surface and the VIP panel, and at least a portion of such ribs or tubes, etc. are deformable, for example by being made from a PU low density soft foam.
- the ribs or tubes provide a corrugated surface between the VIP facing surface and the VIP panel. Also optionally, the ribs or tubes extend from the VIP facing surface to meet the VIP panel.
- the present invention provides a set of similarly shaped, preferably regularly shaped, wall insulation panels comprising either a different number, different shapes, or both, of VIP panels therein.
- a first set of the wall insulation panels acting as a template of ‘full’ or complete' panels, which could include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. same-shaped or similarly-shaped VIP panels, able to completely fill the space or cavities intermediate the first and second protective shells, usually in a geometric pattern or shape.
- a ‘complete’ first set of wall insulation panels may be able to accommodate two or four intermediate VIP panels in particular locations, and a second set of panels could be based on the same template, but wherein at least one VIP panel is not located in the same regular position as the ‘complete’ wall insulation panel.
- first set of wall insulation panels having one shape of VIP panel, such as square or rectangular therein, wholly or substantially able to completely fill the space intermediate the first and second protective shells and a second set of wall insulation panels can be provided having different shapes of one or more intermediate VIP panels.
- the series of wall insulating panels of the present invention could comprise at least:
- the wall insulating panels of the second set are based on the wall insulation panels of the first set, having only one of the VIP panels included, (or having one of the two VIP panels not included); and the third set of wall insulating panels comprises two differently shaped VIP panels being intermediate between those of the first set and second set.
- the third set could comprise wall insulating panels comprising one VIP panel similar to that of the first and second sets, with an additional VIP panel being of a smaller size than the original VIP panel.
- the VIP panels of the first set, the second set, and optionally one of the third set have the same VIP panel shape.
- the VIP panels of the third set comprise a first VIP panel having a first shape, and a second VIP panel being half the width and/or height of the shape of the first VIP panel.
- the present invention can provide a series of wall insulating panels having a first set of panels with two VIP panels therein, for example in the form of a ‘full VIP domino’, a second set of wall insulating panels being ‘half VIP dominos’, and a third set of wall insulation panels being intermediate the first and second sets, by having one and a half VIP ‘domino’ panels.
- the series of the present invention may include additional sets of wall insulation panels having a different number and/or differently shaped VIP panels.
- the series of the present invention may also include markings or indicia on an outer surface, generally the outer surface of the first or second protective shells, or both, indicating either the position of the or each intermediate VIP panel, or the portion(s) of the wall insulating panel able to cut without cutting the or each intermediate VIP panel, or both.
- markings or indicia include coloured lines, indentations etc., and ensure cutting of the wall insulating panels during installation without cutting of the intermediate VIP panels.
- one or both of the first and second protective shells further comprise longitudinal spline recesses, and the series includes a plurality of splines to fit intermediate abutting wall insulating panels.
- the splines may be formed of the same or different material to that of the first and second protective shells, and provide direct and easy alignment of two abutting wall insulation panels. Where all the wall insulation panels of the series are the same shape or outer shape, most especially having the same outer dimensions, these spline recesses can be most easily located in corresponding positions around each of the wall insulation panels, for matching with spline recesses in other wall insulating panels.
- each wall insulating panel includes a number of wall fixing apertures, preferably one at each panel corner, and one wall fixing aperture through a centrepoint offset from a VIP panel, each aperture extending transversely to the successive panel layers.
- the wall fixing apertures at each panel corner may not be fully complete, i.e. may only be cut away portions of the corners of the panels, which, when matched against a number of similar abutting wall insulation panels, create a final complete aperture.
- the apertures can accommodate any suitable wall fixing device, such as pins, optionally having a flanged head against which the wall insulation panel is secured in use.

- the expansion region includes a compensation layer, formed of a surface sheet having a number of extruded ribs regularly extending thereacross, in order to form a sheeted material 14 having corrugated like structure, such corrugations running transverse to the surface of the VIP panel 6 upon which it neighbours.
- the ribs are deformable, such that any leakage of the VIP panel 6 increasing the size of the VIP panel 6 can be accommodated by crushing of the ribs within the area of the expansion region, thereby avoiding any impact of the expanded VIP panel 6 upon the opposing inner surface of the second protective shell 8 .
- the integrity of the outward facing surface can be maintained.
- This integrity includes but is not limited to, being a barrier against the environment, in particular the weather, as well as the aesthetic appearance of the outward facing surface, or any further layer or surface or material added on to the outward facing surface.
- any deformation in the outward facing surface would crack a rendered layer added thereon, allowing moisture ingress with its known associated problems, as well as looking permanently unsightly.
- FIG. 1 a shows the first and second protective shells 4 , 8 forming a second cavity as a second depressed tray 12 , of the same size and dimensions as the first cavity, but excluding any VIP panel therein.
