Description
Verfahren zur Herstellung eines schalenförmigen Vakuumisolierpaneels sowie dessen Verwendung als DämmelementProcess for producing a shell-shaped vacuum insulation panel and its use as an insulation element
Die Erfindung betrifft schalenförmige Vakuumisolierpaneele sowie deren Verwendung als thermisches Dämmaterial.The invention relates to bowl-shaped vacuum insulation panels and their use as thermal insulation material.
Vakuumisolierpaneele werden in der Regel nach folgendem Produktionsschema hergestellt:Vacuum insulation panels are usually manufactured according to the following production scheme:
Eine starre Platte aus einem porigen Material - in der Regel aus einem starren Kunst- stoffschaumstoff - wird in einen auf 3 Seiten versiegelten Foüenbeutel eingelegt. In einer Vakuumkammer wird dann die 4. Seite versiegelt.A rigid plate made of a porous material - usually made of a rigid plastic foam - is placed in a foil pouch sealed on 3 sides. The 4th side is then sealed in a vacuum chamber.
Der Folienbeutel besteht in der Regel aus einer mehrschichtigen Folie mit den Haupt- komponenten: Aluminium als Sperrschicht und Polyethylen als Siegelschicht.The foil pouch usually consists of a multi-layer foil with the main components: aluminum as a barrier layer and polyethylene as a sealing layer.
Nach diesem Verfahren erhält man Hochleistungsdämmstoffe, die in ihrer niedrigen Wärmeleitfähigkeit allen anderen Materialien überlegen sind.This process produces high-performance insulation materials that are superior to all other materials in their low thermal conductivity.
Ihre Anwendung wird jedoch eingeschränkt durch die Notwendigkeit, die Siegelnähte stets in der Ebene anzubringen. Schalenförmige, d.h. gekrümmte Dämmelemente lassen sich nicht bzw. nur umständlich herstellen. Der Einsatz derartig geformter Dämmelemente wäre z.B. zur Isolierung gekrümmter Oberflächen, z.B. Rohren wünschenswert.However, their application is limited by the need to always apply the sealing seams in the plane. Cup-shaped, i.e. curved insulation elements cannot be manufactured or only with great difficulty. The use of such shaped insulation elements would be e.g. for the insulation of curved surfaces, e.g. Pipes desirable.
Es bestand somit die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung gekrümmter Vakuumisolierpaneele aufzufinden.The task was therefore to find a method for producing curved vacuum insulation panels.
Überraschenderweise wurde nun gefunden, daß man schalenförmige Vakuumisolier- paneele mit hervorragender Maßgenauigkeit herstellen kann, indem man vor demSurprisingly, it has now been found that cup-shaped vacuum insulation panels can be produced with excellent dimensional accuracy by using the
Evakuieren und Versiegeln des Vakuumisolierpaneels in die Kernplatte auf einer Seite Rillen einfräßt (Zeichnung I). Nach dem Evakuieren, Versiegeln und Belüften der Vakuumkammer wird dann das Vakuumisoüerpaneel unter der Einwirkung des Luftdruckes gemäß Zeichnung II zur gekerbten Seite hin gekrümmt.Evacuate and seal the vacuum insulation panel into grooves in the core plate on one side (drawing I). After evacuating, sealing and ventilating the vacuum chamber, the vacuum isoer panel is then curved towards the notched side under the influence of the air pressure according to drawing II.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines schalenförmigen Vakuumisolierpaneels, bei dem manThe invention therefore relates to a method for producing a shell-shaped vacuum insulation panel, in which
a) auf einer Seite einer ebenen Platte aus porigem Kunststoff parallel zueinander über die gesamte Fläche verlaufende geradlinige Rillen anbringt,a) making linear grooves running parallel to one another over the entire surface on one side of a flat plate made of porous plastic,
b) die Platte allseitig mit einer gasdichten Folie in einer Vakuumkammer vakuumdicht versiegelt,b) the plate is sealed on all sides with a gas-tight film in a vacuum chamber,
c) die Vakuumkammer anschließend wieder auf Normaldruck belüftet.c) the vacuum chamber is then vented back to normal pressure.
Der auf das so erfindungsgemäß hergestellte Vakuumisolierpaneel einwirkende Atmosphärendruck bewirkt eine Krümmung des Vakuumisolierpaneels.The atmospheric pressure acting on the vacuum insulation panel thus produced in accordance with the invention causes the vacuum insulation panel to bend.
Hierbei läßt sich der Krümmungsradius des Paneels durch die Anzahl und die Breite der eingefräßten Rillen genau vorausberechnen.The radius of curvature of the panel can be calculated precisely in advance by the number and width of the milled grooves.
Die Rillen können z. B. mit Kreissägen oder Schleifscheiben eingefräßt werden.The grooves can e.g. B. be milled with circular saws or grinding wheels.
Die Rillen können rechteckiges oder trapezförmiges Profil haben (Zeichnung lila +The grooves can have a rectangular or trapezoidal profile (drawing purple +
Illb).Illb).
Die Rillen sollten vorzugsweise 50 bis 75 % bezogen auf die Plattendicke in die Platte eindringen.The grooves should preferably penetrate 50 to 75% based on the plate thickness into the plate.
Die porige Kunstoffplatte kann z.B. aus Polystyrol oder Polyurethan bestehen. Bevorzugt besteht die Platte aus porigem Polyurethan, insbesondere aus Polyurethanabfällen recyclten verpreßten Polyurethanflocken oder -pulver. Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäß hergestellten schalenförmigen Vakuumisolierpaneele als thermische Dämmelemente,bei gekrümmten Oberflächen, z.B. Kühlgerätetüren, der Rohrisolierung sowie bei zylin- derförmigen Heißwasserspeichern. The porous plastic plate can consist of polystyrene or polyurethane, for example. The plate preferably consists of porous polyurethane, in particular of polyurethane waste or recycled compressed polyurethane flakes or powder. Another object of the invention is the use of the cup-shaped vacuum insulation panels produced according to the invention as thermal insulation elements, on curved surfaces, for example cooling device doors, the pipe insulation and in cylinder-shaped hot water tanks.

Eine Platte mit den Maßen 480 x 460 x 25 mm wird mit 9 quer laufenden Rillen im Abstand von 46 mm, einer Rillenbreite von 3 mm und einer Rillentiefe von 16 mm versehen. Die Rillen werden mittels einer Kreissäge eingefräßt.A plate with the dimensions 480 x 460 x 25 mm is provided with 9 transverse grooves at a distance of 46 mm, a groove width of 3 mm and a groove depth of 16 mm. The grooves are milled using a circular saw.
Die so vorbereitete Platte wird in einem Folienbeutel (Aufbau der Folie: Polyethylen, Aluminium 6 μ, Polyester) gesteckt, in einer Vakuumkammer auf 0,5 mbar Innendruck gebracht und am Rand thermisch versiegelt. Nach Belüften der Vakuumkammer verformt sich das vorher ebene Paneel zu einer Viertelschale mit einem Radius vonThe plate prepared in this way is placed in a film bag (structure of the film: polyethylene, aluminum 6 μ, polyester), brought to an internal pressure of 0.5 mbar in a vacuum chamber and thermally sealed at the edge. After venting the vacuum chamber, the previously flat panel deforms into a quarter shell with a radius of
