Apr 01, 2008 – As the world heat up and oil prices spiralling up with no sign of abating, many organisation are looking at ways it can reduce it energy bill.
Energy Savings
The tightly packed film reflects and dissipates heat by minimizing the path for the transfer of heat, eliminating virtually all heat infiltration build up which can be a major source of heat transfer in buildings. These factors equate to substantial reductions in energy usage and costs.
The scientific process went one step further and improved on the ceramic VacMicro Spheres by removing all the gas inside which created a vacuum. Physics law states that nothing can move by conduction through a vacuum, since it represents an absence of matter. In effect we have a miniature thermos bottle... a microscopic hollow vacuum sphere that resists thermal conductivity.
Modes of Heat Transfer Mechanism
Basically, there are three (3) mechanisms involved in heat transfer into buildings as follows:
1. Radiation
Energy from the sun is transferred through electromagnetic waves, and converted to “heat” when it strikes a solid surface. This sun radiation is the largest source of heat gain in a building. In this case, by reflecting or repelling the heat to the surrounding is the most effective way to prevent the heat coming into or leaving a building. However, there is no paint coating material that can reflect or repel heat 100% back to its source.
2. Conduction
After the sun radiation is converted to heat / energy on solid surface of a substrate, the heat / energy is then transferred through the enclosing thickness of walls and/or roofs. In this mechanism, a good insulation material (such as Styrofoam, fiberglass and ceramic) or “heat insulation paint coating” with low thermal conductivity value (k-Value) or high thermal resistivity (R-Value) can resist the heat transfer from the hottest surface to the cooler side.
3. Convection
After part of the heat/energy has managed to penetrate through the building walls & roofs (i.e. from the hottest surfaces to the cooler sides), the heat absorbed is finally transferred the movement of air inside the buildings. The indoor air now becomes warmer and even hotter to occupants that contributes to higher energy bill to operate air conditioner units to cool down the rooms
