AURA: a fiberglass based vacuum insulation panel technology.
Author(s) : MCGRATH R. D.
Summary
Fiberglass vacuum panels have been shown to perform from R30 to R35 (2.83 to 2.43 milliK/milliwatt) when applied to household refrigerator/freezers. This compares to R20 (1.39 milliK/milliwatt) for powder-filled panels. The cost/performance ratio for this technology is still high for the US refrigerator/freezer industry, but may be an economical choice for 1998 National Appliance Energy Conservation Act compliant refrigerators and freezers.
