"Aerogel" can make the house warm in winter and cool in summer
Not too long after, you might complain in winter that the jacket made of aerogel is too hot and the house insulated with aerogel is too warm. Joda after years of hard work finally saw the true face of the magical material aerogel. As the domestic technical personnel to overcome a number of difficulties, so the cost of aerogel dropped significantly, it is possible to be widely used, aero-energy-saving green house built into our lives, will no longer be a dream. Aerogel began to walk into our daily life.
According to Joda technicians, aerogels are also known as "frozen fumes," 99% air, light in weight, and have good thermal and acoustic insulation properties. In addition, aerogel insulation is good, but also withstand the enormous pressure equivalent to 2000 times its own weight.
These characteristics make aerogels favored by scientists and businesses, and get the initial application. Abroad, Hugo Boss introduced a series of winter jackets made of aerogels but had to be removed after consumers complained about the clothes being too hot. Earlier this year, the United Kingdom launched a house insulated with aerogel insulation, thermal insulation effect has been greatly improved, indoor thermostat lower than similar houses 5 degrees, can achieve the same insulation effect.
Aerogel has not been widely used due to the high cost of aerogel preparation. Zhu Wan-yi told reporters that Central South University and a new material technology companies successfully overcome a number of technical problems, the latest application for seven air-related patents, the aerogel preparation costs greatly reduced, making it possible to become widely used .
In the future green energy-efficient buildings will become the mainstream, and this new material will play a key role. Aerogel glass is environmentally friendly high-end products, once widely used in public buildings and high-rise buildings, building energy-saving glass, the market demand is expected to reach 50 billion yuan or more, we can see its market prospects are very broad.
Aerogel materials used in homes and units of solar collectors, will be more than double the heat collection efficiency of existing solar water heaters, and the heat loss dropped below 30% of the existing level. Aerogel new material contains astonishing business opportunities, such as the current vacuum tube solar collectors in China, the market accounted for more than 80%, flat-panel solar collector market less than 20%, while in foreign countries, flat-panel solar collector market share Accounting for more than 80%. If one-third of the country's solar water heaters use 0.1 cubic meters of aerogel material, the output value of 2 billion yuan can be achieved each year.
