Transparent insulation materials
Abstract
Transparent or translucent insulation materials (TIMs) represent a new class of materials with a high potential for increasing the efficiency of solar thermal systems. A large number of materials and material combinations have been subjected to theoretical and experimental investigation. An overview of generic TIMs and existing materials available on the market, characterization methods, and the future potential of transparently insulated systems is presented.
