GLAZING SYSTEM U-VALUE MEASUREMENT USING A GUARDED HEATER PLATE APPARATUS.

Author(s) : WRIGHT J. L., SULLIVAN H. F.

Summary

PRECISE HEAT TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT USING A GUARDED HEATER PLATE APPARATUS. THIS APPARATUS HAS BEEN USED TO PERFORM U-VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A VARIETY OF PROTOTYPICAL GLAZING SYSTEMS. ONE SET OF RESULTS QUANTIFIES HEAT TRANSFER ACROSS STAGNANT AIR LAYERS CONTAINING AN INTERMEDIATE FLUORINATED ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE (FEP) GLAZING AND BOUNDED BY PLATES OF VARIOUS EMISSIVITIES. THE SECOND SET CONSISTS OF GLASS-TO-GLASS U-VALUES FOR A SET OF GLAZING SYSTEMS THAT INCORPORATEUP TO 4 GLAZINGS, 1 OF 2 SOLAR-CONTROL METAL COATINGS AND UP TO 2 INTERMEDIATE GLAZINGS MADE OF FEP FILM. THESE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE TEST METHOD USED IS WELL SUITED TO THE RELIABLE MEASUREMENT OF GLAZING SYSTEM U-VALUE.
