OPERATING BEHAVIOUR OF THIN-WALLED REFRIGERATED VEHICLES.

Author(s) : BORNSCHLEGL A., JEHLE R.

Summary

A COMPARISON OF TEST AND THEORETICAL RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE TYPE OF STRUCTURE AND THE LENGTH OF THE VEHICLE HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE K-VALUE. THE AGING OF INSULATION MAY ALSO RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN THIS VALUE TO 0.8 W/M2K AND THERMAL BRIDGES MAY CAUSE A NEW INCREASE TO 1.0 W/M2K. IN 1980, THE BAVARIAN INSPECTORATE AUTHORITY TESTED 19 NEW THIN-WALL VEHICLES WITH SANDWICH INSULATION IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE AVERAGE K-VALUE, THE TESTS BEING CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ATP AGREEMENT HEATING METHOD WITH AN AVERAGE WALL TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 293 K (20 DEG C).
