saesINSULA is the SAES Getters vacuum insulated panel that combines the insulation properties of vacuum with the thermal and mechanical resistance of microporous insulating material, in order to guarantee superior thermal insulation in all those cases when better insulation performance and a reduced thickness are needed.

saesINSULA is the result of an extensive R&D project in cooperation with material manufactures and end users. Thorough tests on components and on finished panels have generated a complete database on films, getters, desiccants and core materials that lead to high quality products made from best components and state-of-the-art manufacturing.
The saesINSULA vacuum insulated panels are characterized by the materials used for the filling and for the barrier and by the presence of a getter. |
Core Materials
Depending on the application, different filling materials are used:
- Open cell polyurethane cores can be made into many shapes and cut extremely thin. The resulting panels have a working range from -20°C to +60°C.
- Precipitated or fumed silica offers optimum thermal performance at higher temperatures and has a working range from -20°C to +80°C
- Glass wool offers optimum thermal performance at higher temperatures and has a working range from -20°C to +80°C
Barrier Material
Barrier materials usually consist of one or more PE or PET layers which are melted to form the seal. The type of barrier film is dependant on the application and its environment.
Getter
As reported in the graph, pressure built up in the panel, due to permeation of air and outgassing from the core material, deteriorates its thermal performance. In order to guarantee lifetimes of the order of 5-20 years, a specifically developed getter is inserted in the panel.
The saesINSULA panels are designed and developed according to customers’ needs. They can be manufactured in several sizes, up to 110 cm x 150 cm, and thicknesses up to 5 cm as well as in several shapes.
Highlights
