TY - JOUR TI - Development of a new silicate thermal insulation coating and analysis of heat storage characteristics AU - Wei Chenghui AU - Chen Hao AU - Wu Bin JN - Thermal Science PY - 2023 VL - 27 IS - 2 SP - 949 EP - 957 PT - Article AB - Non-shrinkage composite silicate insulation materials with raw materials easy to obtain, low cost, low density, high insulation, special-shaped equipment it is a new type of thermal insulation material with advantages of convenient daub, no dust on site and almost zero shrinkage in the drying process. Through the analysis of the raw materials and the production process of the thermal insulation coating, a production method of the thermal insulation coating with low raw material cost, easy to use, simple production process and good product performance was determined. The experimental results show that a layer of waterproof coating with appropriate color can be brushed on the surface of the coating, which can prolong the service life of the coating and beautify the environment. From the use of this coating on the tower of Shenghua Refinery, the tower with a surface temperature of 150ºC is coated with 22 mm thick thermal insulation coating, and the surface temperature of the coating is 35 ºC. Due to the use of the insulation coating, the heat consumption is reduced, and the production efficiency and economic benefits are greatly improved.
