Regardless of the type of insulation used, the main role remains unaltered — to create a thermal barrier which helps regulate the internal temperature in shipping containers, thus enhancing comfort and usability.
Thermal insulation is aspect in the optimization of thermal energy storage (TES) systems integrated inside buildings. Properties, characteristics, and reference costs are presented for insulation materials suitable for TES up to 90 °C.
Conclusions Today, thermal energy storage systems are typically insulated using conventional materials such as mineral wools due to their reliability, ease of installation, and low cost. The main drawback of these materials is their relatively high thermal conductivity, which results in a large insulation thickness.
In conventional insulation materials like glass wool, rock wool or organic foams, the total heat transfer is dominated by the contribution of the gas within the hollow spaces. Alternatively, the thermal insulation can be realized within the wall of the storage as illustrated in Fig. 2 b.
The economic hurdle of small-scale systems highlights the importance of developing cost-effective thermal insulation solutions that allow the storage structure to be built of low-cost materials and, more importantly, to reduce the space required by large storage systems incorporated inside buildings. 3.
