10、f-panel apparent thermal resistivitythe ther-mal performance of vacuum panels includes an edge effect dueto heat flow through the barrier material and this shunting ofheat around the evacuated volume of the panel becomes moreprevalent with greater barrier thermal conductivity, as shown inFig. 1. For

11、 panels larger than a minimum size (as described inAnnexA1), the center-of-panel apparent thermal resistivity is aclose approximation of the intrinsic core thermal resistivity ofthe vacuum insulation panel. The effective thermal perfor-mance of a panel will vary with the size and shape of the panel.

12、3.2.2.1 DiscussionThermal resistivity, the reciprocal ofapparent thermal conductivity, is used when discussing thecenter-of-panel thermal behavior.3.2.3 corethe material placed within the evacuated vol-ume of a vacuum insulation panel. This material may performany or all of the following functions:

13、prevent panel collapsedue to atmospheric pressure, reduce radiation heat transfer, andreduce gas-phase conduction. The apparent thermal conductiv-ity of the core, or lcore, is defined as the apparent thermalconductivity of the core material under the same vacuum thatwould occur within a panel, but w

The effective thermal resistance is basedon the edge-to-edge area covered by the vacuum insulationpanel, that is, the entire p

The effective thermal resistancewill also vary with the panel mean temperature.3.2.4.1 DiscussionThermal resistance, the reciprocal ofthermal conductance, is used when discussing the effectivethermal performance of the panel.

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes a modified application ofTest Method C 518 to evacuated panels. These panels falloutsi

28、de the scope of Test Method C 518, both in their non-homogeneity and in the current lack of specimens having anaccepted reference value that are of similar size and have thenecessary thermal characteristics. Therefore, modifications arenecessary in the areas of apparatus calibration, plate separatio

29、n,test procedures, precision and bias, and reporting.NOTE 1Primary calibration standards, using vacuum panels, have notbeen prepared for this class of products due to uncertainties about theirlong-term stability characteristics.5. Significance and Use5.1 Heat flow meter apparatus are being used to m

30、easure thecenter-of-panel portion of a vacuum insulation panel, whichtypically has a very high value of thermal resistivity (that is,equal to or greater than 90 m-K/W). As described in Specifi-cation C 1484, the center-of-panel thermal resistivity is used,along with the panel geometry and barrier ma

31、terial thermalconductivity, to determine the effective thermal resistance ofthe evacuated panel.5.2 Using a heat flow meter apparatus to measure thethermal resistivity of non-homogenous and high thermal resis-tance specimens is a non-standard application of the equip-ment, and shall only be performe

32、d by qualified personnel withunderstanding of heat transfer and error propagation. Familiar-ity with the configuration of both the apparatus and the vacuumpanel is necessary.5.3 The center-of-panel thermal transmission properties ofevacuated panels vary due to the composition of the materialsof cons

33、truction, mean temperature and temperature difference,and the prior history. The selection of representative values forthe thermal transmission properties of an evacuated panel for aparticular application must be based on a consideration of thesefactors and will not apply necessarily without modific

34、ation toall service conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Follow Test Method C 518, Section 5 except use Section8 of this test method for calibration.7. Specimen Preparation7.1 Vacuum insulation panels are typically rigid and theshape cannot be modified for testing purposes. However, toobtain representative th

35、ermal values for the panel, the twoprimary surfaces must be parallel and have limited surfaceirregularities.7.2 If none of the standard product sizes are appropriate forthe heat flow meter apparatus used in this test, then represen-tative test specimens must be produced so that they accuratelyrepres

36、ent both the same average performance as the productionproduct and the same typical product variability.7.3 The specimens shall be of the same thickness as theaverage thickness to be applied in use.7.4 The minimum panel size for this test is determined bythe size of the heat flux transducer in the h

37、eat flow meterapparatus, the overall maximum specimen size limit for theapparatus, the thermal conductivity of the barrier, the thicknessof the barrier, and the thermal conductivity of the core. AnnexA1 contains a procedure to estimate the minimum acceptablepanel size.7.4.1 Preferably, specimens sha

38、ll be of such size as to fullycover the plate assembly surfaces, with an allowance of up to6 mm on each side to allow room for panel seals.7.4.2 If the width or length, or both, of the specimen aresmaller than the apparatus compartment, surround the speci-men with high thermal resistance insulation.

39、 This surroundingmaterial will reduce edge heat transfer and prevent air circu-lation around the specimen.7.5 For panels with smooth parallel surfaces, the specimenthickness is represented by the plate separation.7.6 For panels with irregular surfaces, to insure thermalcontact with the apparatus sur

40、faces, it is necessary to:7.6.1 Measure the panel thickness with an accuracy of60.05 mm in at least five locations distributed over the surfaceof the panel and use the average of the local values. Care shallbe taken so that the contact between the caliper jaws or thelength meters pressure foot does

41、not damage the specimensurface.7.6.2 Record the output of one thermocouple placed on thecenter of the top and one thermocouple placed on the center ofthe bottom of the panel. The temperatures recorded by thethermocouples, not the hot and cold plate temperatures, shallbe used to calculate the center-

42、of-panel apparent thermalresistivity.7.6.3 Place one sheet (approximately 3 mm thick) of anelastomeric or soft foam rubber between each side of the paneland the corresponding apparatus plate. This sheet will improvecontact between the controlled temperature plates and preventair circulation between

43、the panel and the plates.8. Calibration8.1 The apparatus shall be calibrated according to TestMethod C 518 sections 6.1 to 6.5.8.2 Specimens having an accepted reference value withphysical and thermal characteristics similar to vacuum panelsare not yet available. The linearity of the heat flux trans

44、ducersat very low levels of heat flux must be verified using anothermethod. The apparatus calibration must include the addition ofat least one of the modified calibration procedures described in8.5 and 8.6, that is Modified Calibration Procedure A or B. Asdescribed in 8.7, the two modified procedure

45、s can be combinedif necessary to meet uncertainty goals. Although each methodmagnifies an element of experimental error (as discussedbelow), it is necessary to augment the standard Test MethodC 518 calibration for this particular application.8.3 It is not intended that the heat flow meter apparatusc

46、alibration be altered based on the results of these supplemen-tary procedures. Rather the results will be used by qualifiedpersonnel (as described in 5.2) to determine whether a particu-lar heat flow meter apparatus will give meaningful results fora vacuum panel application, and if so, to provide gu

47、idance oninterpreting and applying the Test Method C 518 test results.NOTE 2Just as with the standard calibration technique, the supple-mentary calibration need not be repeated for every test if the equipmentC1667093has been stable over a significant period of time. See Test Method C 518section 4.5.
