K)/W of an air cavity insulated with the target insulation system
Cavity walls can be made from Thermocouples
Thermocouples measure measurethe Greater than 25 mm. any material, e.g. plywood or INSIDE the INSIDE surfacesurface temperature According to EN ISO 6946, this MDF. Their thermal resistance is of temperature the cavity walls of the cavity will then be representative of NOT included in the measured walls any air gap from 25 mm to ~ value 300 mm. A wide range of air gaps could be produced
Insulation - could be of any type (multifoil or bubble
Expanded polystyrene surround Small expanded polystyrene wrap types). This arrangement measures the thermal surround panel. This panel. couldThis be either could 150 be polystyrene pillars insurepillars minimum insure air resistance of the insulated air cavity without the need either mm or 150 300 mm mm orthick 300 mm minimum cavity air is depth cavity depth maintained to measure: (i) intrinsic thermal resistance; (ii) thick is maintained emissivity:( (ii) iii) cavity emissivity:( geometries iii) cavity geometries
All dimensions in mms NOT TO SCALE Specimen dimensions - usually 2 m long x 1 m wide
