THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF VERY THICK LOOSE FILL MINERAL WOOL INSULATION: RESULTS OF FIELD MEASUREMENTS.

Author(s) : ELMROTH A.

Summary

DESCRIBES A PILOT STUDY TO MEASURE THE HEAT FLOW THROUGH ONE SUCH ACTUAL ATTIC WITH 500 MILLIMETERS OF MINERAL WOOL. NOTES THE DIFFICULT MEASUREMENT PROBLEM. THE HEAT FLOW IS VERY LOW AND SMALL DISTURBANCES CAN HAVE A PRONOUNCED INFLUENCE ON THE RESULTS. THERMAL BRIDGES, MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS HAVE GREAT IMPORTANCE. ILLUSTRATES SOME MEASURED RESULTS AND DRAWS CONCLUSIONS. STRESSES THE NEED FOR NEW MEASUREMENT METHODS. (INT. BUILD. SERV. ABSTR., GB., 23, N 6, 1988, 33, 88-01958.
