    10 Description: Applying thermal insulation coating on the roof is another very effective method to solve the problem of roof insulation.
    Thermal insulation coating can reflect a large amount of solar radiation, thereby reducing the temperature of the roof surface
    .
    Of course, the roof covered with thermal insulation paint will also reflect part of the solar radiation in winter, so the more south, the more suitable this technology is
    .


    Most of these standards mention the disadvantages of reflective insulation coatings in winter
    .
    Can it avoid the disadvantages of reflective insulation coatings in winter? If it is equipped with both thermal insulation and thermal insulation, it can be used in green buildings and passive houses to reduce the thickness of the insulation layer, which not only increases the internal space of the building, but also reduces potential safety hazards
    .

    3 When selecting exterior wall decoration materials (especially high-rise buildings), materials with better durability should be selected to extend the time interval for exterior facade maintenance and repair
    .
    Because of the low cost of construction in our country, more paints and facing bricks are used for exterior wall decoration materials
    .
    The paint needs to be repainted every 5 years or so, and the maintenance cost is relatively high, especially in high-rise buildings
    .
    Facing bricks often fall off due to the quality of construction, and it is easy to cause safety hazards when applied to high-rise buildings.
    .
    .


    These standards all require or recommend the selection of building materials with some functions, such as heat insulation, heat preservation, deodorization, humidity control, fire prevention, antistatic, air purification, and health care functional materials
    .
    Is there such a material that can combine many functions and one body?


    The answer is yes, it is thermal insulation coating
    .


    Thermal problems in the application of reflective insulation coatings

    What is excellent reflection and heat insulation performance

    Excellent reflection and heat insulation performance must not only have a high solar reflectance, but also a high radiation power
    .
    The reflection of sunlight is not equal to the reflection of solar radiation.
    The reflection of solar radiation includes the radiation power of the reflection of sunlight and heat radiation on the surface of the object, which is a comprehensive value
    .

    Equivalent thermal resistance

    Ordinary white reflective thermal insulation paint reduces the indoor temperature by reducing the heat entering the room from the exterior wall and roof in summer, which is equivalent to adding an equivalent thermal resistance to the enclosure structure; while in winter, it is the opposite, which is equivalent to adding an equivalent thermal resistance to the enclosure structure.
    An equivalent thermal resistance is reduced, the indoor heat is transferred to the outside faster, and the indoor heating energy consumption is increased
    .


    Thermal insulation coating

    Thermal insulation coatings, when the external temperature is high in summer, can effectively inhibit the external heat from entering the room to achieve a cooling effect; when the external temperature is low in winter, it can inhibit the internal heat transfer to the outside to achieve a thermal insulation effect, which solves the common reflection Disadvantages of thermal insulation coatings in winter
    .
    The following is an applied research on the thermal characteristics of thermal insulation
    .
    The main component of this coating is micron-level special hollow ceramic microspheres
    .


    Heat transfer characteristics

    Immerse the container with higher temperature water in lower temperature water

    Heat is transferred from a place with a higher temperature to a place with a lower temperature

    When heat is transferred from a container containing higher temperature water, the temperature of the surrounding water will rise
    .
    When the temperature of the two reaches the same, the heat transfer will stop


    Heat transfer characteristics of buildings

    The temperature field of the walls, roofs, etc.
    of houses caused by the periodic changes of solar radiation over time, and the periodic changes of the temperature of the earth's surface layer caused by the change of seasons, etc.
    , belong to the periodic unsteady heat conduction process
    .


    Solar radiation reflectivity

    Tested by the Japan Paint Inspection Association, thermal insulation coatings have strong solar radiation reflectivity.
    When the film brightness L*=0.
    94, the reflectivity of the solar radiation full wavelength range (300-2100nm) is 87.
    9%; the visible light range ( The reflectivity of 300-780nm) is 86.
    5%; the reflectivity of the near infrared range (780-2100nm) is 89.
    5%
    .


    Thermal storage coefficient

    The heat storage coefficient of the material
    .
    In layman's terms, it is the ability of the material to store heat
    .
    The smaller the value, the smaller the heat absorbed per 1K increase in the temperature of the material, which means that the surface temperature of the material can easily adapt to the outside temperature
    .
    The heat storage coefficient is related to the thermal conductivity, specific heat and density of the material
    .

    Calculation formula of heat storage coefficient:

    Thermal storage coefficient = (thermal conductivity × specific heat × density) 0.
    5


    Calculated:

    The heat storage coefficient of thermal insulation coating is 37.
    6% of that of ordinary coatings, indicating that it can adapt to ambient temperature better than other coatings
    .
    It shows that as long as it absorbs or releases other coatings to absorb or release 37.
    6% of the heat, it can be consistent with the surface temperature of other coatings
    .


    The relationship between heat storage coefficient and ambient temperature

    For substances with "high" heat storage coefficient, the surface temperature is not easy to adapt to the ambient temperature, and the heat storage is large
    .
    Absorb or release the same amount of heat, and the temperature difference between the surface and the air is large
    .

    Substances with a "low" heat storage coefficient have a surface temperature that easily adapts to the ambient temperature, and the heat storage is small
    .
    Absorb or release the same amount of heat, and the temperature difference between the surface and the air is small
    .


    The effect of the temperature difference between the coating film and the environment on heat transfer


    The heat storage coefficient is large, the temperature difference is large, and the heat transfer is large
    .

    The heat storage coefficient is small, the temperature difference is small, and the heat transfer is small
    .


    Since the coating film of the thermal insulation coating can quickly adapt to the ambient temperature, the temperature difference between the coating film and the environment is reduced, thereby inhibiting the transfer of heat
    .


    Heat radiation ability of coating film

    According to Stefan-Boltzmann law

    E = ε σT4

     Among them: E is the radiation force; ε is the emissivity; σ=5.
    67×10-8 W·m-2·K-4, which is the Stefan constant; T is the temperature
    .

    According to experiments, the far-infrared emissivity of GAINA coating film reaches ε = 0.
    946 at 41.
    2°C, that is, the emissivity is 94.
    6%
    .


    Under the same temperature, the higher the emissivity, the stronger the radiation power
    .

    Generally, the emissivity has the characteristic of increasing with the increase of temperature, but the thermal insulation coating has the characteristic that it can play its role even in the normal thermal environment
    .


    Reference: absolute black body, ε = 1

    Black coal, ε= 0.
    75 (80℃)


    ε= 0.
    855 (300℃)


    ※ New discovery of heat radiation ability


    Normal materials radiate far-infrared rays, and the thickness must reach 200μm-400μm
    .
    The thermal insulation coating can radiate far-infrared rays with a thickness of 1/10 to 1/20 of that of general building materials
    .
    And the time is shorter, with less energy you can start to emit far infrared rays
    .

    .


    Experimental equipment (cold box and hot box)

    The first step is to simulate heat transfer from outdoor to indoor

    Heat flux (heat flow) density curve when the external temperature is high


    Test conclusion: the coating film can inhibit heat transfer from the front side of the coating film


    The second step is to simulate heat transfer from indoor to outdoor

    Heat flux (heat flow) density curve when the external temperature is low


    Test conclusion: the coating film can inhibit heat transfer from the back of the coating film


    Application scenario: painting on the exterior wall

    Reflection + radiation + coating film temperature adapt to ambient temperature (less heat exchange) + coating film low thermal conductivity → prevent external heat from intruding → heat insulation
    .

    Reflection + radiation reduction + coating film temperature adapt to ambient temperature (less heat exchange) + coating film low thermal conductivity → prevent external heat from intruding → heat preservation
    .


    Application scenario: painting on interior walls

    Reduced reflection + reduced radiation + temperature of the coating film adapts to the ambient temperature (less heat exchange) + low thermal conductivity of the coating film → prevents the intrusion of external heat → heat insulation
    .

    Reflection + radiation + coating film temperature adapt to ambient temperature (less heat exchange) + coating film low thermal conductivity → prevent indoor heat transfer out → heat preservation
    .


    From the test results, whether it is used internally or externally, it is effective day and night in summer or winter
    .
    It is effective even without the influence of solar radiation

    Can solve other problems of green buildings

    ☆ Condensation problems in green buildings


    When the room temperature is lower than the indoor air dew point temperature, condensation will occur on the wall surface, commonly known as flooding
    .
    Too high humidity will reduce the quality and durability of structural materials, hinder indoor hygiene and human health, and affect the beauty of the building

    Humidity control function
    .


    In addition, the thermal insulation coating has developed a special anti-condensation coating for the phenomenon of condensation, which can solve the problem of condensation in various extreme humid conditions
    .


    ☆ Thermal expansion and contraction of green buildings and thermal bridge problems


    The thermal insulation coating has a low heat storage coefficient and can quickly adapt to the ambient temperature, so that the wall coating temperature can adapt to the air temperature
    .
    This can solve the building fatigue cracking caused by the periodic fluctuation of the temperature difference between day and night, and prolong the service life of the building
    .


    The thermal bridge effect is more common in brick-concrete buildings, and due to the influence of various factors such as temperature, humidity, heat, etc.
    , there will be "the same building, some households have serious mildew, and some households are fine.
    " Situation
    .
    Thermal insulation coatings can inhibit the uneven heat transfer, whether used externally or internally, thereby reducing the problem of thermal bridges caused by uneven heat transfer
    .


    ☆ High durability problem


    "Coatings need to be repainted every 5 years or so, and the maintenance costs are high, especially for high-rise buildings
    .
    " (Excerpted from Article 8.
    3.
    3 of the "Green Building Design Code" of Hunan Province), thermal insulation coatings have undergone a 2000h weather resistance test, and their performance It can also meet the requirements, it is 2-3 times the life of ordinary exterior wall coatings, and the life of thermal insulation coatings can exceed 15 years
    .


    GB/T9755 "Synthetic Resin Emulsion Exterior Wall Coatings" stipulates that qualified products, first-class products, and superior products can be subjected to 250h, 400h, and 600h aging tests respectively; JG/T206 "Acrylic Coatings for Exterior Wall External Insulation" stipulates I and II The type aging test is 600h and 1500h
    .


    ☆ Light pollution of green buildings


    The thermal insulation coating has an ultra-low gloss of 1 degree, nearly 100% of diffuse reflection light, and no glare
    .
    Under the condition of ensuring the thermal function, the thermal insulation coating has hundreds of colors and appearances to meet the design requirements of individual buildings
    .


    ☆ Anti-static problem


    After testing, the surface charge of the thermal insulation coating film is 0
    .
    It is not easy to absorb particles floating in the air, so that the coating film is not easy to accumulate dust
    .

    Static electricity is very harmful to people's life and production.
    It is easy to cause fire in some fire-prone places; to the human body, it can cause abnormal nerve cell membrane current conduction, affect the human central nervous system, and make people feel fatigue, irritability, insomnia, and headache
    .


    ☆ Construction problems


    The construction of thermal insulation coating is convenient and simple
    .
    The construction is consistent with ordinary interior and exterior wall coatings
