The article discusses the results of studying the thermotechnical properties and energy saving factors of insulation systems based on mineral wool products and products based on extruded polystyrene foam under conditions close to natural ones. The studies were carried out on the basis of the hypothesis according to which the heat-saving characteristics of the facade insulation systems are most dependent on the thermal resistance along the surface of the wall, on the thermotechnical uniformity of the insulating sheath and on the stability of the properties of the heat-insulating materials under real operating conditions. The implemented complex made it possible to establish that the smallest difference between the air temperature in the room and the surface temperature in the lower zone was achieved on a fragment of the building envelope with a mounted facade system with XPS as insulation. For the same type of facade system, the maximum heat transfer resistance in the lower zone of the building envelope was reached - 2.72 m2 ° C / W for the cold period of the year, which significantly exceeds the characteristics of the system of mounted ventilated facades with mineral wool thermal insulation in the corresponding zones. The factor of “additional warming” from the soil, which is used to justify the rejection of warming in the buried part of the structure, does not work in the cold season. Flooding at thezone with the junction of the wall with the soil significantly affects the values and nature of the distribution of operating humidity inside the insulation layers.
Systems of floor insulation on the ground, isolation of roads and shallow foundations suggest the use of heat-insulating products resistant to moisture, the minerals contained in it, having low heat conductivity and water absorption and relatively high strength for compressive loads.The aim of the research was to study the possibility of using mineral substances containing crystalline water as a dispersed component. Firstly, such compounds as a reinforcing component increase the strength characteristics of products. Secondly, being flame retardants, they contribute to increasing the fire safety of materials and building systems in which these materials are used. To achieve this goal, two particular tasks were set: determination of the optimal consumption of mineral modifying additives; assessment of exploitative stability of the received products. It was found that the introduction of a mineral modifying additive can significantly increase the compressive strength by 10% deformation of samples from extruded polystyrene foam. The exploitative stability of products with a mineral additive varies slightly and depends on its consumption and uniform distribution in the product matrix. The effect of additive consumption on the change in the thermal conductivity of products has not been established. A nomogram has been built which allows one to evaluate the properties of products and determine the optimal consumption of a modifying additive.Systems of using products from modified extruded polystyrene foam in monolithic foundations with insulation for buildings erected on problem soils are considered.
The article describes the features of the implementation of insulation systems in extreme climatic conditions, including in conditions of significant negative and alternating temperatures, high wind speeds and more. It is noted that the adaptation of building systems to similar operating conditions places special demands on heat-insulating materials, as well as resistance to mechanical and climatic influences, vapor permeability, and stability of properties for the entire period of operation. Taking into account the temperature regime of the polar territories, it becomes necessary to develop special solutions for the creation of insulating shells that have high heat engineering uniformity and durability, as well as those that are resistant to very negative and alternating temperatures. Also important is the heat, moisture, and vapor barrier properties of these systems. Taking into account the operational features of the polar territories, three main groups of objects requiring complex isolation and protection can be distinguished: residential buildings, roads on permafrost, modular buildings and residential capsules of mobile equipment. The article considers the feasibility of implementing such heat-efficient systems using foamed plastics, namely products based on extruded polystyrene foam and foamed polyethylene. Solutions are proposed for the implementation of overlaps over ventilated cellars, insulation of walls, roads and mobile structures.
