Summary

This paper deals with the development of the environment-friendly insulator for the cargo containment of LNG ships. In this project we selected mixing of HFC-365mfc/HFC-227ea as the blowing agent considering the thermal performance of R-PUF. R-PUFs blown by HFC-365mfc/HFC-227ea were produced using the continuous production lines of three insulation companies in South Korea. For the application of the R-PUF to LNG cargo containment, the mechanical properties, physical properties, thermal performances, thermal shock, and compressive strength change under the operating environment were evaluated. From the test results, it was shown that all the RPUFs developed by 3 companies had the characteristics that can be used as the main insulator of LNG cargo containment.
