How insulating is a vacuum?
Vacuum technology is used to engineer high-performance thermal insulation to prevent conductive and convective heat transfer. With its complete lack of atoms, a vacuum is often considered to be the best known insulator.
What is vacuum insulation made of?
Vacuum insulation panels (VIP) consist of an open porous core of fumed silica enveloped by several metallized polymer laminate layers (see Figs. 8.1 and 8.2).
Can I vacuum insulation?
If removing blown-in insulation, use a HEPA or ULPA vacuum cleaner only, available at equipment rental services and home improvement centers, to suck the insulation out of the wall or cavity it is in. Regular vacuum cleaners will only blow the fiberglass fragments throughout the structure you are working in.
