INFOTEXT KAPILUX TIM Transparent Insulation Components for transparent insulation (TIM) should combine good thermal insulation with a high level of solar transmission. In conjunction with a solid absorbent wall, KAPILUX TWD offers: • considerable solar transmission for maximum energy output very good heat insulation saving the solar heat to heat the room saving heating energy Physical properties Thermal insulation The sunlight is directed through the transparent insulation onto a dark absorber wall. The wall heats up and functions as a solar heating system with time lag for the rooms behind it. KAPILUX TIM with its capillary structure is optimised for this process. The low Ug-value minimises thermal transmission losses through the façade. The high radiation and light transmission levels make solar energy useful for heating rooms, and also for lighting with natural light in daylight systems. Correctly installed systems produce energy gains of 100 - 150 kWh/m2a, corresponding to 10 - 15 l fuel oil per square metre of transparent insulation per year. Sound insulation Capillary slabs decouple the panes of the insulating glazing and provide improved sound insulation..

INFOTEXT Variations in the density of the capillary slab and the diameters of the capillaries may be visible, as can joints which are necessary for production reasons. These "variations" in appearance give the product a lively appearance. Under certain light conditions it may also be possible that fine lines, also the result of the production process, can be seen within the capillary slab. Dimensions The dimension of the hermetically sealed KAPILUX panels is limited to a minimum of 1000 x 1000 mm and a maximum of 2000 x 2000 mm. For widths of more than 1300 mm and heights of more than 1300...

1: Wall, high density material 2: Opaque insulation 3: Draining, ventilation 5: Black absorber coating (7) To prevent overheating in the summer, solar protection is required. Electrically driven window blinds or roller shutters are the preferred solution. Seasonal sunshades are also possible (e.g. manually mounted cover plates). Roof projections may also be used as solar protection, but these reduce the energy received all the year round. (8) The simplest regulation for electrically driven shade systems is an astronomical clock, which opens the curtain material in winter mode when the sun...

Orientation (preferably southern orientation ±30°) Bulk density of outer wall (preferably high bulk density between 1400 .. 2000 kg/m3 for a good buffer effect with time lag) Other influencing variables are: • location (better sunny-cold climate), heating period (better long) • surface proportion of transparent insulation material, with respect to façade surface area (relatively uncritical, e.g. between 25 and 40%) • thickness of the outer wall (relatively uncritical, e.g. between 20 and 30 cm) • internal heat sources (savings fall with the performance of the internal heat sources) Thermal...
