The effect convection on mineral wool thermal insulation material

Abstract

The present investigation aim was to investigate heat transfer by convection through the thermal insulating layers of wall. Numerical simulation models was used in the analysis and a large-scale wall test model has been constructed for experimental investigation. Experimental investigation has been performed in a climate chamber. The influence of temperature difference, material air permeability, etc., on the heat tranfer shows the importance of convection investigation in lightweight fibrous materials.
