The difference between insulating glass filled with argon and not filled with argon
The difference between insulating glass filled with argon and not filled with argon
1. Thermal insulation performance
The heat transfer coefficient K value of insulating glass filled with argon will decrease significantly. This is because argon is an inert gas with low thermal conductivity and low specific heat capacity. When argon is filled into the interior of the insulating glass, the heat convection and heat conduction in the insulating glass can be slowed down, thus weakening the thermal conductivity of the overall insulating glass. This means that insulating glass filled with argon can better prevent the transfer of heat, thus improving the insulation performance.
2. Sunshade performance
The reduction of the heat transfer coefficient K value of the insulating glass filled with argon can also effectively block the outdoor solar ultraviolet rays, thereby improving the shading performance. This is because, with the increase of argon content, the heat transfer coefficient of insulating glass is significantly reduced, thus reducing the transmission of solar radiation.
3. Anti-fogging and anti-self-explosion performance
The insulating glass filled with argon can reduce the probability of glass self-explosion due to its good heat insulation performance. In addition, due to the presence of argon, insulating glass is not prone to fog phenomenon, even after several years of use, it is still very clear
4. Sound insulation performance
Argon filled insulating glass, its sound insulation performance will also be improved. This is because argon has a higher density and dynamic viscosity than air, which helps reduce the transmission of sound.
5. Anti-impact performance
The insulating glass filled with argon gas will also be three to five times more impact-resistant. This is because the presence of argon can increase the strength and impact resistance of insulating glass.
6. Costs and economic benefits
Filling with inert gas (such as argon) is an addition to glass and usually costs extra. Nevertheless, considering the multiple effects of heat insulation, shading and sound insulation brought by argon, this investment is cost-effective in the long run.
In summary, the insulating glass filled with argon has better performance in heat insulation, sunshade, anti-fogging, anti-self-explosion, sound insulation and anti-impact. However, the choice to fill with argon depends on individual needs and budget.
