Thermal hysteresis in fibrous insulation.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Thermal hysteresis, characterized by both the difference between the adsorption and desorption isotherms and the difference between heat of adsorption and heat of desorption, is investigated for typical fiberglass insulation. A numerical simulation, employing a local-volume-averaging formulation and measured heats of sorption, is performed to examine the effect of thermal hysteresis on simultaneous heat and mass transfer and moisture/frost accumulation in a transient process for a fiberglass insulation slab. Results are given.
