New aerogel-based materials revolutionize high-thermal isolation for equipment and pipelines!
Aerogel-based rolled materials were studied for high-thermal isolation in equipment and pipelines. The researchers tested the heat conductivity of these materials at temperatures up to 650°C, finding a mathematical relationship between heat conductivity and temperature. The results were used to calculate the insulation thickness needed for these materials, which can be applied in designing high-heat insulation systems.
