One of the main reasons supporting the creation of VIPA International was the need to speed up the standardisation process hereby solving some of the technical matters about the use of this technology in different applications. VIPA International financed the following projects:
STUDIES FINANCED BY VIPA
An Advanced Technique for Measuring the Effect of Moisture Content on the Thermal Conductivity of Fumed Silica VIPs and the Equilibrium Water Vapor Pressure of Desiccants
Description of the project: The degradation rate of VIPs depends not only on the permeation rate of the different atmospheric gases through the envelope, but…
STUDIES FINANCED BY VIPA
An integrated study on the integration of VIPs in ultra-low energy consumption concrete prefabricated buildings
Description of the project: The Chinese government is encouraging the development of environmental friendly ultra-low-energy-consumption buildings. This study…
STUDIES FINANCED BY VIPA
Calibration of the lift-off technique for measuring the internal pressure of fumed silica VIPs and determination of boundary conditions for the lift-off measurements and processing of measurement raw data
Description of the project: The foil lift-off technique is the most commonly used method to determine the internal pressure of VIPs during and after the…
STUDIES FINANCED BY VIPA
Development of an advanced technique for measuring the effect of moisture content on the thermal conductivity of VIPs
Description of the project: Recent lab and field tests on fumed silica panels showed that the degradation rate of VIPs is predominantly determined by the…
STUDIES FINANCED BY VIPA
Compressive strength of vacuum insulation panels according to EN 826: difficulties with the measurement results for VIPs and possible solutions
Description of the project: Results of compressive strength according to EN 826 of VIPs without any facings (e.g. EPS, PU, etc.) are difficult to evaluate….
