Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental results are presented on the improved efficiency of shielding vacuum thermal insulation (SVTI) with gaskets fabricated from polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) film treated with antistatic substances (surface-active substances (SAS)) for reduction of electrostatic charges and contact heat transfer (by 30% or more).
