AB - A new flexible multilayer thermal insulation material is presented for  applications at harsh environment as high as 433 K or as low as 123 K. A heat  transfer model is established and solved to study heat transfer through the  material, including radiation, solid heat transfer and gas heat transfer.  Comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction  shows that the model is feasible to be applied in engineering. The  temperature distribution of samples with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 layers,  respectively, the radiation, solid and gas heat transfer of a sample with 10  layers are analyzed at harsh conditions (123 K and 433 K) and the normal  condition as well. The theoretical thermal analysis provides an active  instruction to an optimal design of such protective materials.
