Preparation and Characterization of Sandwich Structured Materials with Interesting Insulation and Fire Resistance

A cellular material in the form of 3-layered sandwich structure material was prepared via sole use of mechanical stirring without any use of a foaming agent,while Tween-80 was employed as a foam stabilizer via a developed in-situ mold casting.The resulting structure displayed a good appearance with no visual defects.The 3-layered composition of the sandwish structure,“nonporous resin layer-porous foam layer-nonporous resin layer”,was examined in terms of the microstructure,density&density distribution,pulverization ratio,mechanical strength,insulation and flame retardant performance.It was indicated from the results that the bonding between the resin layer and foam layer was tight,while the tensile rupture always occurred in the porous layer.Also,the density of the sandwich structure material was symmetrical with“saddle”distribution,and a uniform density for any given layer.The increase in the density at the interface layer provided a good interpretation for the tensile rupture never occurred at the interface.The brittleness resistance of the developed material was significantly improved,and the pulverization ratio was sharply decreased from 9.93%to 0.31%.The material acquired a thermal conductivity and limiting oxygen index(LOI)of 0.0241 W/m⋅K and 29.92%,respectively,indicating potential use of such materials broadly in fields of insulation and flame retardancy.

In this paper, the suitability and construction technology of self-insulation walls were studied under the specific climatic conditions and regional resources of Hanzhong and Ankang in the hot summer and cold winter zone of Southern Shaanxi. Through the calculation of heat transfer coefficient and thermal inertia index, combined with the specifications of the shale hollow brick and aerated concrete block of Hanzhong and Ankang in southern Shaanxi, the thermal performance and suitable thickness of the external wall using self-insulation materials that meet the Design Standard for Energy Efficiency of Residential Buildings(DBJ61-65-2011) in Shaanxi Province were obtained. The results showed that the self-insulation wall had technical suitability in the hot summer and cold winter zone. The research results provide not only a theoretical basis for the external wall insulation design of urban residential buildings in the hot summer and cold winter zone of southern Shaanxi, but also a reference for designers to carry out energy-saving design of external walls of residential buildings in other similar climate zones.

The Theoretically Studies and Field Testing of Self-Insulation Exterior Wall in the Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zone

The energy efficiency design of the exterior wall in the buildings of the hot summer and cold winter zone of China should consider the heat prevention in summer and the heat insulation in winter. The self-insulation of the exterior?wall is a more feasible design to satisfy the energy efficiency of buildings in the?zone. However, the systematic research is urgently needed for the self-insulation of the exterior wall in the hot summer and cold winter zone of China. The paper tested the thermal performance of the common non-clay materials such as shale sintered hollow brick, sand autoclaved aerated concrete block, etc. by means of indoor experiments. The energy efficiency effect of the common materials was verified using dynamic calculation soft PKPM and several constitutions of exterior wall with different main bricks and insulation materials on the heat bridge were simulated, too. Besides, the tests of the thermal performance of exterior wall in real constructions were carried out to testify the practical effect of the recommended constitutions of exterior wall with different main bricks and insulation materials on the heat bridge. The conclusions are: the physical and thermal properties of the six non-clay wall material are better than the clay porous brick;the thermal performance of the non-clay brick can be improved obviously through the rational arrangement of the holes;shale sintered hollow brick after increasing the holes and rationalizing the hole arrangement and sand autoclaved aerated concrete block are recommended for buildings in the hot summer and cold winter area of China. The dynamic calculation results show that the thermal performances?of the non-clay materials are all satisfied with the energy efficiency;The heat transfer coefficient of the exterior wall with composition?③,?in which?the main wall was sand autoclaved aerated concrete block and the material on the heat bridge was sand autoclaved aerated concrete plate, is the smallest among the three recommended compositions.

Investigations on Tracking and Erosion Resistance of Nano Silicone Composite for High Voltage Outdoor Insulation

In recent times, silicone rubber insulating material is used for power transmission line and substation insulation applications. In the present work, tracking and erosion resistance of the micro size filled and nano size filled silicone rubber material has been studied under the AC voltage, with ammonium chloride as a contaminant, as per IEC 60587 test procedures. The characteristic changes in the tracking resistance of the micro size and nano size filled specimens are analyzed through leakage current measurement. Comparative Tracking Index （CTI） is also evaluated in order to understand the relative behavior of solid electrical insulating material with regard to their susceptibility to surface tracking. Trend followed by the fundamental, third harmonic and fifth harmonic components of the leakage current during the tracking study are analyzed using moving average current technique. It is observed that the harmonic components of leakage current show good correlation with the tracking and erosion resistance of the material. It is noticed that 5 % wt ofnano size filler gives similar performance to that of 30 % wt of micro size filler in silicone composites.

Numerical and experimental evaluation for density-related thermal insulation capability of entangled porous metallic wire material

Entangled porous metallic wire material(EPMWM)has the potential as a thermal insulation material in defence and engineering.In order to optimize its thermophysical properties at the design stage,it is of great significance to reveal the thermal response mechanism of EPMWM based on its complex structural effects.In the present work,virtual manufacturing technology(VMT)was developed to restore the physics-based 3D model of EPMWM.On this basis,the transient thermal analysis is carried out to explore the contact-relevant thermal behavior of EPMWM,and then the spiral unit containing unique structural information are further extracted and counted.In particular,the thermal resistance network is numerically constructed based on the spiral unit through the thermoelectric analogy method to accurately predict the effective thermal conductivity(ETC)of EPMWM.Finally,the thermal diffusivity and specific heat of the samples were obtained by the laser thermal analyzer to calculate the ETC and thermal insulation factor of interest.The results show that the ETC of EPMWM increases with increasing temperature or reducing density under the experimental conditions.The numerical prediction is consistent with the experimental result and the average error is less than 4%.

Investigation on Thermal Insulation and Mechanical Strength of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete and Porous Mortar in Cold Regions

Thermal insulation is an important indicator to evaluate the construction material in cold region engineering.As we know,adding the industrial waste as lightweight aggregate or creating the pore inside the cement-based composite could make the texture loose,and the thermal insulating capacity of the material would be improved with this texture.Using these methods,the industrial by-product and engineering waste could be cycled in an efficient way.Moreover,after service the fragmented cement composites paste could be used as aggregate in the thermal insulating concrete again.While the porous texture is not favorable for the mechanical strength and long-term durability in a cold environment.To balance the above three requirements from two opposite directions,different processing methods were applied to create the thermal insulation concrete/mortar.Firstly,the organic/inorganic lightweight aggregate,including the Expanded Polystyrene(EPS),Expanded Perlite(EP),and Ceramsite(CRMST)particles,were applied to create the Lightweight Aggregate Concrete(LWAC).As the comparative tests,the expanded Superabsorbent Polymer(SAP)hydrogel and Air-Entraining Agent(AEA)were also introduced to create the porous mortar.The above concrete/mortar was tested in the normal state and under the Freeze-Thaw cycle to explore the engineering performance in cold regions.During the experimenting process,the thermal insulation,mechanical strength,and frost resistance of these cement-based composites were investigated,and an optimal thermal insulation concrete/mortar was determined.

Preparation and properties of thermal insulation coatings with a sodium stearate-modified shell powder as a filler

Waste shell stacking with odor and toxicity is a serious hazard to our living environment. To make effective use of the natural resources, the shell powder was applied as a filler of outdoor thermal insulation coatings. Sodium stearate(SS) was used to modify the properties of shell powder to reduce its agglomeration and to increase its compatibility with the emulsion. The oil absorption rate and the spectrum reflectance of the shell powder show that the optimized content of SS as a modifier is 1.5wt%. The total spectrum reflectance of the coating made with the shell powder that is modified at this optimum SS content is 9.33% higher than that without any modification. At the optimum SS content of 1.5wt%, the thermal insulation of the coatings is improved by 1.0℃ for the cement mortar board and 1.6℃ for the steel plate, respectively. The scouring resistance of the coating with the 1.5wt% SS-modified shell powder is three times that of the coating without modification.

Fe-6.5Si soft magnetic composites(SMCs)with hybrid phosphate-silica insulation coatings have been designed to improve their comprehensive property via chemical coating combining sol-gel method in this work.The microstructure and magnetic performance of the Fe-6.5Si SMCs with hybrid phosphate-silica insulation coatings were investigated.The hybrid phosphate-silica coatings with high heat resistance and high withstand pressure,formed on the surface of the Fe-6.5Si ferromagnetic powders,were found stable in the composites.Compared with Fe-6.5Si SMCs coated by single phosphate or single silica,Fe-6.5Si SMCs with hybrid phosphate-silica show much higher permeability and lower core loss.The work provides a new way to optimize the magnetic performance of soft magnetic composites.

Resistance Characteristics of Arc in Long Air Gap

Arc resistance is an important parameter for characterizing long arcs in air, and its laboratory testing is of importance for accurate arc modeling of electromagnetic transient caused by short circuit fault. Therefore, we constructed an experimental system to study the cha- racteristics of long AC arc in air. Driven by currents of 10 kA or 40 kA (root mean square value), the system produces arcs with different initial lengths of 1 m, 2 m and 4 m, and the movement of the arcs are captured by a high-speed camera. After performing experiments using the system, we carried out analysis and comparisons of the arc resistance of arcs with different lengths and different currents, as well as a study of the relationship between the macro-morphology and the resistance of the arcs. Conclusions were drawn from the experimental re- sults: the arc voltage had obvious saturation characteristics; the arc resistance increased with the increase of arc length and the decrease of current; the arcs bended or extended significantly in time and the peak arc voltage within a single cycle increased correspondingly; the arcs had voltage and current in the same phase. In the end, a formula of arc resistance based on the experiment results is derived.

Substrate bias effects on collector resistance in SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors on thin film silicon-on-insulator

An analytical expression for the co/lector resistance of a novel vertical SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor （HBT） on thin film silicon-on-insulator （SOI） is obtained with the substrate bias effects being considered. The resistance is found to decrease slowly and then quickly and to have kinks with the increase of the substrate-collector bias, which is quite different from that of a conventional bulk HBT. The model is consistent with the simulation result and the reported data and is useful to the frequency characteristic design of 0.13 μtm millimeter-wave SiGe SOI BiCMOS devices.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the correlation betweeninsulation resistance (R) and direct current (DC) component (i_(de)) and corresponding aging degreeof insulation in the course of the aging within cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. Theaging tests were performed on a section of 10 kV transmission XLPE cable by means of water needlemethod, and _R was measured by DC voltage superimposed method, R and i_(de) were found to besignificantly dependent on the correspondingaging degree of insulation in the course of aging ofXLPE, and different kind of aging stage has different characteristics. Beside, there are generallysimilar regularity but different amplitude in the course of aging of XLPE insulation in differentelectrolyte, and the various electrochemical tree were found on the surface of aging XLPE cableimmersed in CuSO_4, solution. Therefore, according to the changing regularity of the DCcharacteristic parameters i. e. R and i_(de) within XLPE insulation judging the aging degree of XLPEinsulation will be an effective method.

Synergistic regulation of temperature resistance and thermal insulation performance of zirconia-based ceramic fibers

ZrO_(2) fiber is a promising high-temperature resistant and heat-insulating fiber material.However,the decrease in mechanical properties caused by grain growth at high temperatures seriously affects its application.How to achieve the synergy of its temperature resistance and the thermal insulation performance is still the focus of the current industry.In this work,we started with doping inequivalent elements and studied the phase composition,temperature resistance,and thermal insulation properties of Y_(2)O_(3)-ZrO_(2) ceramic fibers by adjusting the Y/Zr molar ratio.The results showed that Y_(2)O_(3) could enter the crystal lattice of ZrO_(2) and form a solid solution.With the increase in Y_(2)O_(3) content,the structure of fibers changed from a tetragonal phase to a cubic phase,and the configurational entropy of the system increased.The larger configuration entropy in the sample could produce a robust steric hindrance effect,inhibiting grain growth.After heat treatment at 1300℃,the grain size of Y_(2)Zr_(2)O_(7)(Y5Z5)fibers was only 61.8%that of Y_(0.1)Zr_(0.9)O_(1.95)(Y1Z9)fibers.The smaller grain size made the Y5Z5 fibers still have excellent flexibility and deformation recovery performance after heat treatment at 1300℃and could still return to the original state after 85%compression or folded in half.In addition,due to the larger configurational entropy,the mean free path of phonon scattering was shortened,thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the fiber.In short,this work achieves the synergistic effect of temperature resistance and thermal insulation properties of zirconia-based fiber materials only through simple inequivalent element doping.

Analysis on the Effect of the Nonlinear Resistance on the Locomotive Operating Overvoltages

With the application of the articulated phase insulator, and the speed of electric locomotive rising, it is inevitable for the electric locomotive to adopt the technology automatic passing through the electric phase separation. However, when the locomotive passes the electric phase separation, a variety of overvoltages will be generated, such as the cut-off overvoltage and the closing overvoltage. In this paper, the causes of the two overvoltages above are analyzed theoretically and simulated in Simulink. Then this paper discusses the suppression effects on the cut-off overvoltage and the closing overvoltage by paralleling the nonlinear resistance and the main breaker, or parallelling the nonlinear resistance and the locomotive transformer. The simulation results show that parallelling the nonlinear resistance and the locomotive transformer has suppressive effects on the two overvoltages mentioned above.

For the analysis, semi-classical electron transfer method was used based on drift diffusion approximation by TCAD (Tiber CAD) software. Simulations show that the output resistance of FINFET along very small gate (gate length and fin height of 50 nm) is negative. The negative resistance is used in oscillators.

A low specific on-resistance SOI MOSFET with dual gates and a recessed drain

A low specific on-resistance（Ron,sp） integrable silicon-on-insulator（SOI） metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor（MOSFET） is proposed and investigated by simulation.The MOSFET features a recessed drain as well as dual gates,which consist of a planar gate and a trench gate extended to the buried oxide layer（BOX）（DGRD MOSFET）.First,the dual gates form dual conduction channels,and the extended trench gate also acts as a field plate to improve the electric field distribution.Second,the combination of the trench gate and the recessed drain widens the vertical conduction area and shortens the current path.Third,the P-type top layer not only enhances the drift doping concentration but also modulates the surface electric field distributions.All of these sharply reduce Ron,sp and maintain a high breakdown voltage（BV）.The BV of 233 V and Ron,sp of 4.151 mΩ·cm2（VGS = 15 V） are obtained for the DGRD MOSFET with 15-μm half-cell pitch.Compared with the trench gate SOI MOSFET and the conventional MOSFET,Ron,sp of the DGRD MOSFET decreases by 36% and 33% with the same BV,respectively.The trench gate extended to the BOX synchronously acts as a dielectric isolation trench,simplifying the fabrication processes.

Method IEEE 841 is used to test endurance of insulation system of stators to 100% humidity at 40 ℃ for168 h. Insulation resistance after this test between phases or between phase and frame has not been lover as 5 × 10^6 Ohm. Some producers of motors use this method for determining quality of impregation resin. On such test insulation resistance between phases was lover as between phase and frame.

In this test, we succeed in demonstrating that the main influence on insulation resistance of insulation system wire and impregnation resin has insulation of wire. Impregnation resin has influenced on data dispersion.

辐射型反射隔热涂料在夏热冬冷地区居住建筑中的应用案例越来越多,其节能设计方法备受关注。等效热阻法是目前反射隔热涂料热工设计的标准方法,但相关文献研究指出,涂覆于非透明材料上的隔热涂料应采用太阳光直接反射比作为隔热评价指标,不宜用等效热阻来评价。通过上海某6层住宅建筑探讨了夏热冬冷地区居住建筑外墙采用辐射型反射隔热涂料的节能效果及其传热系数、太阳辐射吸收系数和表面发射率之间的关系,对比分析了采用参数直接计算与等效热阻法计算能耗结果,结果表明:1)辐射型反射隔热涂料隔热机理与反射隔热涂料差异明显;2)辐射型反射隔热涂料节能效果不适宜采用等效热阻法进行节能效果评价;3)辐射型反射隔热涂料墙体冬季保温热阻设计应充分考虑其对墙体温度的负面影响。

550kV气体绝缘母线大电流工况下温升特性分析

探究气体绝缘母线在超高压大电流工况下的温升特性对设备的正常运行以及监测维护意义重大。然而,在长期大电流负荷运行下,因接触异常等原因导致母线在较小封闭空间内产生大量热量,极易造成局部过热严重威胁设备安全运行。针对这一问题,本文以550kV气体绝缘母线为研究对象,构建了考虑接触电阻的3维电磁-温度-流体多场耦合模型,计算其在1.1倍额定电流(8800A)、气压0.3MPa条件下的母线温度分布,并搭建了大电流温升试验平台进行验证,试验测量结果与仿真结果吻合度高。基于验证后的可靠模型,进一步探究了通流水平、SF_(6)气压及接触状态对母线温度分布的影响规律。结果表明:母线最高温度位于盆子凹面处电接触部位顶部(约为54℃),该端触头上方SF_(6)温度比导杆上方高近15℃,凹面处触头径向温度梯度明显低于凸面处触头径向温度梯度;在非等温自然对流的情况下,母线温度整体呈径向上高下低、轴向端部高中间低的规律分布;母线温度随通流水平提高呈非线性上升、随SF_(6)气压增大呈近似线性下降,可在一定范围内提高设备绝缘气体压强以降低设备运行温度;异常电接触处温度随阻值增大近似线性增加,而电接触异常往往是母线过热的主要风险点。研究结果可为超高压大电流气体绝缘设备产品设计及状态监测提供参考。

膨胀型防火涂层“新-老”涂层体系的热阻

在既有老化涂层上涂覆新涂层形成“新-老”复合涂层体系,复合涂层的热阻并非既有涂层热阻与补涂涂层热阻的简单叠加.基于隔热性能试验的温度测量结果,计算复合涂层体系的等效热阻常数,通过对不同试件等效热阻常数的对比分析,考察补涂涂层对既有涂层和复合涂层热阻的影响规律.结果表明:既有涂层热阻随补涂涂层厚度增加而降低,当补涂涂层厚度大于1.0 mm时,既有涂层热阻的贡献率不超过20%,计算复合涂层热阻时可忽略不计;当补涂涂层厚度较薄(0.5 mm)且既有涂层老化时间较短(≤21循环),或既有涂层有面漆时,建议考虑既有涂层热阻的贡献(贡献率>20%).当补涂涂层与既有涂层类型不同时,复合涂层体系的热阻更大,隔热性能更好.
