Technical and economical evaluation of vacuum insulated panels for a European freezer.

Author(s) : ZOUGHAIB A., CLODIC D.

Summary

The "skin effect" of vacuum insulated panels (VIP) caused by the aluminium layer in the envelope complicates the evaluation of the global thermal resistance. The article presents a new method of VIP characterization. Direct experimental measurements permitted to validate calculations. Finally, a life cycle cost analysis is performed and payback period of the technical option is calculated.
