Benefits of va-Q-tec High-Performance Insulation
Our vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are redefining the standards in refrigeration technology. From household appliances and laboratory equipment to industrial cooling systems, we provide solutions that excel both technically and economically:
Overview of Our Technologies:
At the heart of the system are vacuum insulation panels (VIPs), which are based on the principle of a thermos flask. Evacuating the air from a microporous core physically minimises heat transfer. The result is insulation performance that is up to ten times higher than that of conventional materials such as polyurethane (PU) foam or mineral wool.
Every single panel undergoes the globally patented va-Q-check® system. An integrated sensor enables the internal pressure and thus the insulation performance to be verified precisely in a matter of seconds before dispatch and during subsequent operation. va-Q-tec is the only VIP manufacturer with 100% output control.
Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) can withstand high surface pressure loads thanks to their robust support core. Due to the vacuum inside, the external atmospheric air pressure already exerts a force of around 10 tonnes per square metre on the panel. However, the integrity of the high-barrier film is crucial for the insulating effect. The panels are therefore sensitive to point loads that could penetrate or severely damage the film. As long as the film remains intact, surface loads are not a problem.
Absolutely. We are not limited to standard products with predefined sizes, as each of our panels is manufactured as a customised product. Our Thermal Engineering Centre supports customers from the initial thermal simulation to series production. In particular, va-Q-pro technology also allows for customised 2D and 3D free forms, such as curves or recesses, for the most complex installation spaces.
PCMs are intelligent thermal energy storage devices that function as ‘temperature batteries’. They store or release thermal energy in the form of latent heat during a phase change (e.g. from solid to liquid). This allows them to maintain a constant internal temperature in devices over long periods of time, even without an external energy supply.
