Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the m2 per gramme influences the thermal performance, Siltherm produce their own pyrogenic silica and are able to produce grades of ultimate performance
Not necessarily, the introduction of microporous insulation can deliver the same value for the same cost of ownership.
No, microporous insulation contains a form of “opacifier”, often a metal oxide, this acts as a reflector for radiant heat flow which results in a much lower thermal conductivity at temperatures above 600 deg C.
Yes, the introduction of microporous insulation can also allow you to reduce the weight of your system, or save space by making it thinner.
Yes, the introduction of microporous insulation can allow you to reduce the heat flow through your system and lower the cold face significantly depending on the ambient temperature
Yes, microporous insulation typically has a thermal conductivity of between 0.02 and 0.034 W/m-K , whereas light weight calcium silicates and fibrous insulations are between 0.07 and 0.20 W/m-K
