Study on Thermal Insulation Performance of Silica Aerogel Thermal Insulation Blankets

In this paper, the thermal insulation performance of silica aerogel was studied. Aerogel heat insulation blankets can be widely used in the military, cold storage, aerospace, automotive and other industries. The heat insulation principle of aerogel was analyzed theoretically, and the heat transfer model of aerogel was established. Experiments are designed to verify the accuracy of the model, and it is concluded that the distance between the aerogel and the target is more important for the thermal insulation effect than the thickness of the aerogel.
