The paper presents application of Taguchi method in optimizing the sound transmission through double glazing in order to investigate the relative influence of the various parameters affecting the sound insulation characteristics for design of highly insulative facade constructions and windows for traffic noise abatement.
The obtained reductions in the transmitted sound pressure illustrate the potentials of HRs for improving the sound insulation characteristics of double glazed window.
The analysis reveals that air gap is a prominent factor in controlling the sound insulation characteristics of double glazing and thus regression equations correlating the single-number ratings with thickness of identical glass and air gap in a double glazing is described.
Tests showed that the thermal insulation characteristics of this cryostat were sufficient for the dielectric tests of up to 1 h duration.
However, the RPUF not only increased the manufacturing cost of LNG ship, but also decreased the thermal insulation characteristics of PUF, which is a remaining concern in LNG ship building industries.
In this study, we investigated the basic insulation characteristics of some materials such as Kapton films, aluminium nitride (AlN) plates, vacuum and so on.
This chapter discusses the external insulation characteristics of typical air gaps of towers and substations since these are a key factor for the safety and cost-effectiveness of transmission projects and the main basis for design of EHV/UVH AC transmission projects.
In this study, the high-temperature insulation characteristics of a lightweight, porous aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanomaterial were studied through experimentation using a self-developed thermal testing system for high-speed spacecraft, and were calculated by numerical simulation.
Materials used for construction of the main aspects of the dwelling such as walls, windows and roofs; Thermal insulation characteristics of the building fabric; Ventilation characteristics of the dwelling and ventilation equipment; Efficiency and control of the heating system(s).
Furthermore, we also focused on the contributions of microencapsulated PCMs to the thermal performances of fabrics of certain passive insulation characteristics for the given cold weather and physical activity conditions, based on the model developed for a multi-layer fabric system.
