How 50mm Vacuum Insulation Panels Save RMB 4 Million Per Year – A Case Study of Vacuum Insulation Panels As 150mm Rock Wool Replacement

we use a simplified thermodynamic model to show why metal VIPs might be a better alternative for rock wool for industrial insulation.

Let us begin with a real scenario.

Leadership of company A is amazed by an energy audit report that has just come out.

Annual electricity expenditure: RMB 22 million. Of this, more than 20% is attributable to avoidable heat loss caused by inadequate insulation performance.

In other words, over RMB 4 million per year in electricity cost of company A is effectively “lost to the atmosphere” through the insulation system.

This is not an isolated case. It is a common issue that substandard industrial insulation increases energy cost and reduce profit margin.

In this article, we use a simplified thermodynamic model to show why metal VIPs might be a better alternative for rock wool for industrial insulation.
