Glass and thermal insulation • Introduction • Convection, conduction and radiancy • Single glazing • Double glazing • High output double glazing • Temperature of surface and comfort • AGC range • Condensation • Calculation of the Ug-value of a glazing • Calculation of the Uw-value of a window • Regulation

  18. Double glazing glass = 1 W/(m² K) air = 0,025 W/(m² K) Ug = 5,8 W/(m² K) Ug = 2,9 W/(m² K)

  19. Double glazing 2,9

  20. Double glazing - composition Thermobel Air Float Float Butyl Spacer Dryer Sealing

  21. Double glazing - composition • 2 glazings • Spacer • Gas • Dryer for absorbing humidity • Primary barrier of sealing (humidity) : • Butyl • Secondary barrier of sealing (sealing) : • Polyurethane • Silicone

  22. Double glazing Ar Kr Ug = 2,9 W/(m² K) Ug  2,6 W/(m² K)

  23. Double glazing

  24. Double glazing Ug = 2,9 W/(m² K) Ug  2,0 W/(m² K)

  25. Glass and thermal insulation • Introduction • Convection, conduction and radiancy • Single glazing • Double glazing • Low edouble glazing • Temperature of surface and comfort • AGC range • Condensation • Calculation of the Ug-value of a glazing • Calculation of the Uw-value of a window • Regulation

  26. Double glazing Outside Inside UV, visible, short IR Long IR > 2500 nm

  27. Double glazing Long IR > 2500 nm en=0.89 en =0.89

  28. Double glazing • Glass is not transparent to long IR • Glass then absorbs the heat which tries to leave the building • In winter, when it is colder outside than inside, the major part ofthis absorptive energy is re-emitted towards outside

  29. Low e double glazing Heat LowE coating Ug = 2,9 W/(m² K) Ug = 1,4 to 2,0 W/(m² K)

  30. Low e double glazing Low emissivity coating : n=0.15 to 0.02 Long IR > 2500 nm en =0.89

  31. Low e double glazing UV, visible, short IR Long IR > 2500 nm en =0.89

  32. Low e double glazing • The low-e coating forces the reemission of the absorbed heat by glass towards the interior • I.e. that it behaves as a mirror which reflects the heat which tries to leave the building • On the other hand, it does not prevent the solar radiation frompenetrating in the building

  33. Low e double glazing • Physically : • Glass is opaque to long IR (ET = 0) • From where the result of a heating of glass and reemission • The low-e coating forces the reeimisson towards outside • = AE = 1 – TR – RE = 1 – RE • The lower is emissivity, the higher is the energy reemission towards the interior

  34. Low e double glazing Clear glazing : emissivity e = 0,89 Coatings : • pyrolithic low-e: e about 0,15 to 0,30 • Vacuum(magnetron): e about 0,02 à 0,1

  35. Low e double glazing e = 0,89 e = 0,15 e = 0,05

  36. Double glazing with Warm Edge spacer The metallic spacer (alu, steel, …) is replaced by a plastic spacer (eventually reinforced).

  37. Double glazing with Warm Edge spacer Advantages: • Improvement of the U-value of the frame (not the glazing)  economy of energy • The surface temperature is more uniform  better comfort Without Warm Egde With Warm Edge

  38. Low e double glazing In short : • Thickness of glass : insignificant • Gas (argon): small improvement • Low emissivity coatings  Big improvement Low e double glazing • Warm-Edge spacer  Improvement of the insulation of the frame

  39. Double glazing Ar Ug = 5,8 W/(m² K) Ug = 2,9 W/(m² K) Ug from 1,4 to 2,0 W/(m² K) Ug = 1,1W/(m² K) In short :
