Abstract

Hollow glass microspheres (HGM) are expected to be used in cryogenic liquid storage tanks as an insulating material with better insulation performance and lower maintenance cost instead of perlite. Obtaining the effective thermal conductivity of HGM can help to improve the insulation performance of cryogenic tanks. Herein, a test system based on the transient plane source method is designed and constructed, and the effective thermal conductivity of six models of HGMs from four suppliers at 200–300 K is measured. The results show that under atmosphere pressure of 200 K, the effective thermal conductivity of HGM is only 25.87–35.84 mW m−1 K−1. The effective thermal conductivity at room and low temperatures is calculated using the derived system of equations for integrated thermal conductivity and radiative heat transfer, with the error of no more than 13% from the current experimental results. The integrated thermal conductivity is still dominant in low pressure and low temperature, and the reduction of the true density contributes to the improvement of the HGM insulation performance.
