Thermal insulation property of spacer fabrics integrated by ceramic powder impregnated fabrics

---

Abstract.
Nowadays, because of limited sources of energy, thermal insulation property is becoming
very important for engineers. The main purpose of this work is to investigate
thermal insulation property of three-dimensional knitted spacer fabrics integrated by
ceramic powder-impregnated fabrics. Ceramic materials are well-known and useful for
thermal insulation applications. An apparatus was designed and manufactured for measuring
the heat flux through fabrics as well as thermal insulation property. The apparatus
consists of a guarded hot plate providing adjustable temperature ranging from 36 to
500 oC. In order to measure the fabric cold-side temperature, an infrared thermometer
is used. A heat flux sensor is also used to measure the heat flux through samples. To
improve thermal property and prevent the air convection through spacer fabric, a
three-layered fabric system consisting of a three-dimensional knitted polyester spacer
fabric in the middle and integrated by two layers of knitted cotton fabrics impregnated
with silica at both sides was constructed. This multilayer construction had a significant
effect on increasing the thermal resistance property in comparison to the untreated
spacer fabric. A series model was also considered for the thermal resistance of multilayered
set. Thermal resistance of each layer was first measured separately and thermal
resistance of multilayered set was calculated according to the series model. The total
thermal resistance of the set was then measured. The results showed a good agreement
with those from series model.
