Vacuum Insulated Panels

materialscomparisonVacuum insulated panels are made from a number of different materials, the main differentiating factor is the core material used inside the panel.  Glass wool, fumed silica and various open cell foams are most commonly used.  For high performance panels glass wool is the most effective, however, this is often compromised because of the high thermal conductivity of glass wool when at atmospheric pressure compared with other materials such as fumed silica. The graph below demonstrates capability of CG MaxThermic compared to alternative panels.


 

CG MaxThermic offers a superior performance and coupled with the unique Caralon desiccant solution can guarantee improved performance at higher pressures.

CG MaxThermic capitalises on three key features:

  • A unqiue core material with great thermal performance even at atmosphere
  • A patent pending desiccant system that absorbs any gases that permiate the barrier over time
  • A patent pending through life quality control system

VIP technology is based on the following components:
