CONTAMINATION OF REFLECTIVE FOILS IN HORIZONTAL APPLICATIONS AND THE EFFECT ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE.

Author(s) : COOK J. C. Jr, YARBROUGH D. W., WILKES K. E.

Summary

THE INCREASE IN THE EMITTANCE OF ALUMINIUM FOILS DUE TO MEASURED AMOUNTS OF LABORATORY DUSTING HAS BEEN MEASURED. THESE DATA AND EMITTANCE MEASUREMENTS FOR SPECIMENS OF HORIZONTALLY POSITIONED ALUMINIUM FOIL, TAKEN FROM 7 RESIDENTIAL ATTICS 3 TO 5 YEARS AFTER INSTALLATION, ARE REVIEWED. MODELLING OF THE HEAT TRANSFER ACROSS ATTIC AIR SPACES BOUNDED BY ALUMINIUM FOIL PROVIDES PREDICTIONS OF THE INCREASE IN HEAT FLOW WITH INCREASED SURFACE EMITTANCE.
