How Does Heat Insulation Work and What are its Types?

Apart from being used in buildings as a construction material, heat insulators are used in other areas as well like fridges, air conditioners, industrial machinery, etc. Generally, heat insulators are kept between two planks to enhance the insulation properties. Some materials are more efficient than others if placed between two planks or dividers as an insulator. Some of the most common and efficient insulation materials are namely Aluminum, Clay, Cotton, Hemp, Rockwool, Wood fiber, and Polyurethane foam.

  1. How Does Heat Insulation Work and What are its Types?

  2. Apart from being used in buildings as a construction material, heat insulators are used in other areas as well like fridges, air conditioners, industrial machinery, etc. Generally, heat insulators are kept between two planks to enhance the insulation properties. Some materials are more efficient than others if placed between two planks or dividers as an insulator. Some of the most common and efficient heat insulation materials are namely Aluminum, Clay, Cotton, Hemp, Rockwool, Wood fiber, and Polyurethane foam.

  3. Types of heat insulators and their working

  4. Heat Insulation – Convection • Heat transfer via convection is something relatable to vaporization. This process involves transferring heat via air, gas, or liquid. The job of heat insulators is to stop that warm air/gas/liquid from coming into contact with the surface. Sprays and foams are mostly used in this type of insulation.

  5. Heat Insulation – Radiation • In this type of heat transfer devices such as ballasts, bulbs and other electrical objects in grow rooms radiate heat in the form of infrared rays. Radiation specific heat insulators usually reflect the heat to a certain location away from the place which is to be kept cool. The materials used in this category are generally metallic and is used while constructing residential spaces.

  6. Heat Insulation – Conduction • This is the type of heat insulation which is mostly used to stop or block heat transfer via conduction. This particular heat transferred is caused by direct contact. This insulation is mostly found in houses and residential spaces. Here they are used in different types of electrical systems for blocking heat transfer via contact.

  7. How to Smokescreen your Grow Room? • If you want to camouflage your grow room from infrared detectors and pull out all of the stops, you will need to ensure that the radiation produced by electric devices doesn’t reach the floors and walls of your growing room. This can be done with the help of metal alloys such as lead and aluminum. It is a great choice to use a heat resistant sheet for roof • The general idea is to focus on covering the entire growing area like walls, windows, ceiling, and doors with a specific type of film suitable for this purpose. 

  8. Types of fabrics used in insulation materials

  9. Dis Swat Heat Insulator • Dis Swat Heat Insulator became a way for thousands of growers to protect and safeguard themselves from infrared cams. These insulators are made up of a one-centimeter thick interior air bubble chamber and two external reflective sheets. This helps in maintaining a temperature balance in and out of the room up to 15 degrees Celsius.

  10. Neptune Hydroponics Heat Insulation film • For your grow rooms, Neptune Hydroponics has designed their very own insulation film. It could be a great alternative for growing in order to grow room efficiently and also at an affordable price. The film also has the property of being highly reflective and it also contains multiple air bubbles. These properties are very beneficial to keep the perfect temperature difference indoors that too up to 12 degrees Celsius difference from the external temperature.

  11. Dis Swat auto-fix Heat Insulation • The design of the Dis Swat AUTOFIX reflective and insulating film is such that it comes with an adhesive film on one side which makes it easy to stick to any surface like a wall and without the use of duct tape or a stapler.
