Moisture and energy transport in the refrigeration porous insulating partition.

Author(s) : BUCEWICZ A., KALINOWSKI E.

Summary

Usually, the insulating materials are porous. Many of them, e.g. mineral wool or glass wool have open pores. In this kind of materials, different transport processes take place: heat transport, air flow through the open pores, water vapour diffusion in the air, and free water movement (in the fluid form) through the pores. All these processes are linked and thus they cannot be considered separately. To investigate the transport processes, simulation calculations were made for selected insulating material (mineral wool), and the calculation results were presented in the form of diagrams which show the changeability of parameters in a partition.
