“Theta” aluminium sections are designed specifically for the thermal insulation industry, particularly for factory roof and side cladding applications. Mill finish, CAPCO white epoxy coated or anodised to customer requirements. Other colours available on request.
Unique Features Include:
Have you ever wondered what keeps your coffee or tea hot, or what keeps your hands warm when wearing gloves? Well, material in the mug you use or your winter gloves is the thermal insulation keeping what’s inside warm.
There are different types of insulation – thermal, sound, electrical and so forth. Thermal insulation, which is what we’re going to focus on, reduces heat transfer between objects. Such as outside heat coming into your ceiling or the ceiling into your home. This happens by reflecting the heat, or thermal radiation, to decreasing thermal conduction and convection elsewhere. The use of Theta insulation for properties is one way to do this.
Heat Transfer
Before we go any further, it is important to remember that even Theta insulation does not keep all the cold out, all that happens is that heat transfer is reduced, and heat energy is transferred elsewhere to lower the temperature.
Conduction Heat Transfer
When heat is transferred from high kinetic energy to lower kinetic energy usually through physical contact, such as when touching a hot handle, is known as conduction heat transfer.
Convection Heat Transfer
We’ve all put our hand over a boiling pot or even kettle. The feeling of that hot air is the process of gas or liquid heated and travelling away from the pot or kettle. It is known as convection.
Radiation Heat Transfer
When heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun, this is classified as radiation heat. Theta insulation work the best in such heat transfer.
Theta insulation is an ideal heat transfer method for all types of properties. If you’re looking for Theta thermal insulation, get in touch with Capco today!
