Preparation and Investigation on Thermal Insulating Material for HVAC Application
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
This experiment was carried out to show the application of waste plastic in the HVAC field as an insulative material. As we know that in HVAC field there are many insulative materials are available, excluding material which is prepared in this project normally silicon rubber can be used as an insulative material because of its porous physical structure and low density. In this project efforts have been made insist the use of polymer component made by waste plastic and reinforcement materials like sorrel fiber, glass fiber, and thermocol. The polymer itself is having low thermal conductivity. Hardness is high compared to silicon rubber because of that it may fail during its use that is the reason some other insulative materials like sorrel fiber, glass fiber, thermocol are used as reinforcement material. The use of the waste plastic in HVAC field as an insulative material minimizes maximum pollution in the environment. These prepared insulative material are also more cost effective compared to other conventional materials because waste plastic is fully available in environment only few reinforcement have to be purchased in a minimum quantity. This may not add material cost because of its minimum quantity requirement(less than 5% by weight of that material). The result observed from this experiment has shown that the insulative property of the plastic material can be improved by adding sorrel fibers, glass fibers and thermocol effectively.
