Definitions
- This invention relates to evacuated insulation panels filled with open celled (semi-) rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam, a method for the production thereof and their use for thermal insulation purposes.
- Evacuated insulation panels having a reduced internal pressure are known for various uses including use in refrigeration appliances where they greatly enhance the degree of thermal insulation within the caomet of the appliance
- Such evacuated insulation panels generally comprise a low thermal conductivity filler material and a vessel formed of a gastight film enveloping said filler, the whole being evacuated to an internal pressure of about 5 mbar or less and then hermetically sealed. Besides insulation the filler has also the function of supporting the skin of the vessel so that it does not collapse when it is evacuated.
- the pressure level to which the vessel must be evacuated in order to obtain a satisfactory insulating property depends on the specific filler material. Also the extent of increase in thermal conductivity with internal pressure increase with lapse of time (owing l.a to gases such as air and water vapor diftusmg gradually) depends on the type of filler material
- Known filler materials for use in such evacuated insulation panels include finely divided inorganic powders such as fumed silica, silica dust, precipitated silica, precipitated silica/fly ash mixtures, alumina, fine perlite and fiberglass. It has also been proposed, in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 133870/82, to use organic foamed materials having open cells as the core material in evacuated insulation panels, for example, open celled rigid polyurethane foam (see European Patent Publications Nos 0498628 and 0188806) .
- the rigid open celled polyurethane foams for use as filler in evacuated insulation panels are usually made either via a lamination process or via a slabstock process.
- the reaction mixture is poured onto a moving lower substrate material.
- the foam rises to the surface of the upoer substrate inside the laminator.
- An exact panel thickness (usually 20 cm or less) is obtained by setting the desired distance between the upper and lower conveyor.
- the foam panel can be trimmed (to remove any foam skin having high closed cell contents) and cut to length.
- the amount of scrap foam removed m the initial trimming can be quite substantial; therefore the slabstock process is the preferred route to make open celled rigid polyurethane foam for use as filler in evacuated insulation panels.
- Blocks of foam are obtained which, after cooling and curing, are cut into panels of the required size. This cutting is normally done perpendicular to the rise direction of the foam. Blocks can be made continuously, semi-cont nuously or discontinuously.
- the present invention provides a process for making evacuated insulation panels comprising the steps of a) making a block of (semi-) rigid open celled polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam via a slabstock process, b) cutting said foam block into foam panels, c) enveloping at least one of said panels in a gastight vessel, d) evacuating the whole to an internal pressure of about 5 mbar or less, and e) hermetically sealing the whole, characterised in that the cutting of the foam block into foam panels in step b) is done parallel to the rise direction of the foam.
- Foam panels cut parallel to rise show a much lower thermal conductivity than foam panels cut perpendicular to rise (horizontally) and consequently evacuated insulation panels made thereof have better thermal insulation properties.
- the rigid open celled polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam for use m the evacuated insulation panels of the present invention are made by reacting an organic polyisocyanate composition with a polyfunctional isocyanate-reactive composition in the presence of a blowing agent.
- Suitable organic polyisocyanates for use in the preparation of open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams include any of those known in the art for the preparation of rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams, and in particular the aromatic polyisocyanates such as diphenylmethane dnsocyanate in the form of its 2,4'-, 2,2'- and 4,4'- ⁇ somers and mixtures thereof, the mixtures of diphenylmethane dnsocyanates (MDI) and oligomers thereof known m the art as "crude” or polymeric MDI (polymethylene polyphenylene polyisocyanates) having an isocyanate functionality of greater than 2, toluene dnsocyanate in the form of its 2,4- and 2,6- ⁇ somers and mixtures thereof, 1, 5-naphthalene dnsocyanate and 1, 4-d ⁇ socyanatobenzene.
- MDI variants diphenylmethane dnsocyanate modified by the introduction of urethane, allophanate, urea, biuret, carbodnmide, uretonimme or isocyanurate residues
- organic polyisocyanates which may be mentioned include the aliphatic dnsocyanates such as isophorone dnsocyanate, 1, 6-d ⁇ socyanatohexane and 4,4' -diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane .
- Polyfunctional isocyanate-reactive compositions for use in the preparation of open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams include any of those known in the art for the preparation of rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams.
- rigid foams Of particular importance for the preparation of rigid foams are polyols and polyol mixtures having average hydroxyl numbers of from 300 to 1000, especially from 300 to 700 mg KOH/g, and hydroxyl functionalities of from 2 to 8, especially from 3 to 8.
- Suitable polyols have been fully described in the prior art and include reaction products of alkylene oxides, for example ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, with initiators containing from 2 to 8 active hydrogen atoms per molecule.
- Suitable initiators include: polyols, for example glycerol, trimethylolpropane, triethanolamme, pentaeryth ⁇ tol, sorbitol and sucrose; polyammes, for example ethylene diamine, tolylene diamme, diaminodiphenylmethane and polymethylene polyphenylene polyammes; and ammoalcohols, for example ethanolamme and diethanolamine; and mixtures of such initiators.
- Other suitable polymeric polyols include polyesters obtained by the condensation of appropriate proportions of glycols and higher functionality polyols with dicarboxylic or polycarboxylic acids.
- Still further suitable polymeric polyols include hydroxyl terminated polythioethers, polyamides, polyesteram des, polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyolefins and polys loxanes .
- the quantities of the polyisocyanate compositions and the polyfunctional isocyanate-reactive compositions to be reacted will depend upon the nature of the rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam to be produced and will be readily determined by those skilled in the art.
- the preparation of open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam may be carried out in the presence of any of the blowing agents known in the art for the preparation of rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams.
- blowing agents include water or other carbon dioxide-evolving compounds, such as isocyanate- reactive cyclic compounds, or inert low boiling compounds having a boiling point of above -70°C at atmospheric pressure.
- Suitable inert blowing agents include, for example, hydrocarbons, dialkyl ethers, alkyl alkanoates, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrofluoroalkanes, hydrochlorofluoroalkanes, chlorofluoroalkanes, and fluorine-containing ethers.
- Suitable hydrocarbon blowing agents include lower aliphatic or cyclic hydrocarbons such as n-pentane, isopentane, cyclopentane, neopentane, hexane and cyclohexane.
- the amount may be selected in known manner to provide foams of the desired density, typical amounts being in the range from 0.05 to 5 % by weight based on the total reaction ingredients, although it may be a particular embodiment of the present invention to incorporate up to 10 % by weight or even up to 20 % by weight of water.
- the total quantity of blowing agent to be used in a reaction system for producing cellular polymeric materials will be readily determined by those skilled in the art, but will typically be from 2 to 25 % by weight based on the total reaction system.
- the open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams to be used in the present invention may be of normal cell size, i.e. having cell sizes in the range 5 mm to 0.1 mm.
- open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams having decreased cell sizes (in the range 50 to 150 micron) are preferably used.
- These fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams can be obtained by incorporating an insoluble fluorinated compound into the foam-forming mixture or by air-nucleation.
- insoluble as used herein with reference to the insoluble fluorinated compound to be used in the preparation of fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam is defined as showing a solubility in either the isocyanate-reactive composition or the polyisocyanate composition with which it is to be blended of less than 500 ppm by weight at 25°C and atmospheric pressure.
- Insoluble fluorinated compounds for use in the preparation of fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam include any of those disclosed in US-P-4, 981, 879, US-P-5, 034, 424, US-P- 4,972,002, EP-A-0508649, EP-A-0498628 and WO 95/18176, incorporated herein by reference.
- substantially fluorinated as used herein with reference to the insoluble, substantially fluorinated compound to be used in the preparation of fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane 'or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam is to be understood to embrace compounds in which at least 50 % of the hydrogen atoms of the unfluonnated compounds are replaced by fluorine.
- Suitable compounds include substantially fluorinated or perfluo ⁇ nated hydrocarbons, substantially fluorinated or perfluonnated ethers, substantially fluorinated or perfluonnated tertiary amines, substantially fluorinated or perfluonnated amino-ethers and substantially fluorinated or perfluonnated sulphones.

- Certain insoluble fluorinated compounds suitable for use in the preparation of fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam may themselves act as blowing agents under the conditions pertaining to the foam-forming reaction, particularly where their boiling point is lower than the exotherm temperature achieved by the reaction mixture.
- such materials may, partly or completely, fulfil the function of blowing agent in addition to that of insoluble fluorinated compound.
- the amount of the insoluble fluorinated compound to be used in the preparation of fine celled open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane- modified polyisocyanurate foam ranges from 0.05 to 10 %, preferably from 0.1 to 5 %, most preferably from 0.6 to 2.3 % by weight based on the total foam- for mg composition.

- a particularly preferred process to make open celled rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam for use according to the present invention comprises the step of reacting an organic polyisocyanate composition with an isocyanate-reactive material in the presence of an isocyanate-reactive cyclic compound of formula:
- Y is 0 or NR 1 wherein each R 1 independently is a lower alkyl radical of C j -C 6 or a lower alkyl radical substituted with an isocyanate-reactive group; each R independently is hydrogen, a lower alkyl radical of C J -C J or (CH 2 ) m -X wherein X is an isocyanate-reactive group which is OH or NH 2 and m is 0, 1 or 2; and n is 1 or 2; with the proviso that at least one of R 1 or R is or comprises an isocyanate- reactive group.

- the isocyanate-reactive cyclic blowing promotor is used in amounts ranging from 0.1 to 99 %, preferably from 1 to 60 %, more preferably from 1 to 10 % by weight based on the total isocyanate-reactive material.
- the process is preferably carried out in the presence of a metal salt catalyst.
- Preferred metal salt catalysts are those selected among group la and group Ila metal salts, more preferably among group la and group Ila metal carboxylates .
- metal salt catalysts are potassium acetate and potassium ethylhexoate (for example, Catalyst LB available from Imperial
- the metal salt catalyst is used in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 3 % by weight based on the total reaction system.

- the amme catalyst is used in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 1.5 % by weight based on the total foam.
- a supplemental cell opening agent selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, fatty acid amines, fatty acid amides and fatty acid esters can be used as described in GB 2324798, incorporated herein by reference.
- Suitable fatty acid derivative cell opening agents include tallow diamines (which are complex mixtures of C 16 -C 30 dia mes), mixtures of tallow diammes with fatty acid esters such as the commercially available products INT 494/792/0, 494/792/1, 494/792/2 and 494/792/4 available from Munch Chemie-Labor and the following fatty acid diammes C 19 H 3 ⁇ (NH 2 ) 2 , C 23 H 46 (NH 2 ) 2 and C 25 H 50 (NH 2 ) 2 .

Preferred indices lie m the range 90 to 250, more preferably 100 to 120.
- the rigid open celled polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foam for use according to the present invention is made via a slabstock process .
- Slabstock foam is usually made continuously by metering the foam reactants in the required proportions to a mixing head.
- the metered materials are mechanically mixed and nucleated and, in the widely-used traditional process, are immediately distributed on the bottom lmmg of a continuously moving trough formed by a horizontal bottom paper or foil and two vertical s de papers or foils, carried on a long conveyor at a controlled and adjustable speed.
- the process can also be carried out discont uously by moulding individual blocks of foam; this involves mixing a batch of foam reaction mixture and transferring it rapidly into a mould.
- the rising foam is formed into a flat-topped block by the use of a floating lid.
- the process requires that the measured components be thoroughly mixed and poured into the mould within a few seconds before the polymerisation reaction has caused significant increase in the viscosity of the mix.
- An essential requirement in slabstock manufacture is the provision of a separate, vented storage area where freshly made blocks of hot foam must be stored until cool. This area should be monitored and equipped with fire detection and/or sprinkler systems.
- the foam emerging from continuous foaming machines is usually cut into predetermined lengths, weighed, marked to indicate the grade of foam, the size and weight of the block, and the date of manufacture, and transferred to the hot foam store by automatic machinery.
- the blocks of foam may be cut into the sizes required for the final product.
- the first stage is usually to trim the sides and top of each block, using vertical and horizontal band-knives, to produce a completely usable rectangular block having flat, uniform faces.
- the amount of scrap foam removed in this initial trimming varies with the size of the block and the type of production machine used to make the foam.
- the trimming loss varies inversely with the block size.
- the trimmed block of foam is cut into pieces by band-knives or high speed cutting wires. Wastage at this stage depends only on the geometry of the parts required.
- Blocks of rigid open celled polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams are made with dimensions usually varying between 30 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm and 50 cm x 1.5 m x 5 .
- the height of the foam blocks is usually limited to 40-50 cm due to the scorching risk.
- Typical continuous blocks are 50 cm high, 1.2 m wide and 2 to 3 m in length.
- the obtained foam blocks are cut into foam panels of the desired size. This cutting is done according to the present invention in a direction parallel to the rise direction of the foam (vertical slicing) . Foam skin is removed to ensure a very low content of closed cells. Panel sizes vary between 1 cm x 20 cm x 40 cm and 10 cm x 45 cm x 2 m. Due to the limitation in height of the foam blocks the panels cut therefrom may not be wide enough (maximum 45 cm) ; two or more of these panels may then be stuck together and enveloped in the gastight vessel to make the evacuated insulation panel.
- Suitable enveloping vessels need to be highly impermeable for gases as the gas permeation rate of the vessel directly affects both the occurence of heat leakage and thus the thermal insulation efficiency of the resulting evacuated insulation panel as well as the operating lifetime of the panel. Also, they should prevent transmission of heat by conduction or radiation, be easily sealable by heat sealing and, preferably, flexible.
- plastics such as polyester, polyv ylidene chloride, polypropylene and polyvinyl alcohol.
- the plastics film is vapor deposited with a metallic film or laminated with a metallic foil providing for higher protection against vacuum leak.
- the plastic bag may also include a thermoplastic heat sealing layer consisting of a thermoplastic resin having a relatively low melting point (lower than 200°C) .
- suitable thermoplastics include polyolefins, such as low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene and polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidenechlonde and copolymers thereof, and polyamine, such as nylon 11 and nylon 12, or a similar synthetic resin.
- film metals can be used such as aluminum, titanium, lead, iron and alloys thereof or tin and its alloys, such as tin alloys with antimony, bismuth and copper or mixtures thereof. Preference is given to a laminate of a thin Al foil.
- This preconditioning involves heating and, optionally, agitating the filler material preferably under reduced pressure in order to remove contaminants from the surface of the filler.
- the removal of filler contaminants improves inter alia the expected panel life. Further the removal of contaminants reduces the time required to evacuate the vessel thereby reducing the time and cost associated with the manufacture of an evacuated insulation panel.
- materials are provided within the sealed panels to absorb or otherwise interact with gases and vapors that remain due to imperfect evacuation, that permeate the enclosure from the outside atmosphere or evolve from the polyurethane foam filler itself.
- Such materials are known as getters and may include, for example, granulated calcium sulfate or microporous banumoxide which is excellent in removing water vapor, activated carbon to remove organic gases, metals to absorb oxygen and nitrogen and zeolites to adsorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
- Refrigeration appliance is only a single example of a product that can utilise evacuated insulation panels. They can also form part of an insulated building panel. Other environments having a hot side and a cold side could also benefit from the use of the present invention, for example water heaters.
- the evacuated insulation panels can be easily arranged in the door and walls of a refrigerator. They are generally attached by adhesive to the walls of the thermal device to be insulated and then foamed-m-place with a liquid organic material such as polyurethane. The polyurethane foam then assists in holding the panels between the walls and also provides additional insulation.
- Blocks 40 cm in height, 1.2 m wide, 3 m long
- the blocks were made via a continuous process using a low pressure dispensing machine at 23°C.
- the polyol blend was pre-nucleated with air (10 %) to assist nucleation.
- the blocks were left to post cure for 3 days prior to cutting and testing.
- One block of foam was cut perpendicular to rise into panels of dimensions 30 cm x 30 cm x 3 cm so that the thickness of the foam panel is parallel to the rise direction (schematically presented as panel 2 in figure 1) .
- the density of the foam panel was 51.9 kg/m 3 and the closed cell content 0.2 %.
- the other block of foam was cut parallel to rise into panels of dimensions 3 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm so that the thickness of the foam panel is perpendicular to the rise direction (schematically presented as panel 1 in figure 1) .
- the density of the foam panel was 56.5 kg/m 3 and the closed cell content 0.5 %.
- Two evacuated insulation panels were made in a identical manner, one containing the horizontally sliced foam panel (panel 2) and the other one containing the vertically sliced foam panel (panel 1) .
- the foam panels were first preconditioned at 150°C for 10 minutes and then enveloped in a film (commercially available from Toyo) , evacuated to a pressure of 0.02 mbar and hermetically sealed.
- evacuated insulation panels comprising vertically sliced foam panels yield substantially improved insulation properties than evacuated insulation panels comprising horizontally sliced foam panels.
