Analysis of Vacuum Glass Application in Sun Room

2022 03/10

At present, with the continuous in-depth research of energy saving and environmental protection technology, vacuum glass products have a certain development history and application cases at home and abroad. The application of tempered vacuum glass to the construction of the sun room can not only save energy and protect the environment, but also ensure the stability, safety and comfort of the sun room. This article analyzes the application of tempered vacuum glass in the sun room, and the content is for your reference.

With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are pursuing a higher-quality life. In many cities, sun rooms are widely welcomed by the public because they can provide a sense of intimacy close to the outdoor space and a sense of high-grade transparency. From the perspective of energy saving, the sun room increases the use of solar energy and natural light in the building itself. Although it can provide a comfortable space at certain times, if ignoring the factors such as glass energy saving, glass strength and safety, there may be many negative impacts.

Advantages of Tempered Vacuum Glass in Buildings

✦Low carbon energy saving: With the high vacuum inner cavity, the gas heat transfer between glasses can be ignored. At the same time, tempered vacuum glass adopts high-performance Low-E glass, which greatly suppresses the radiation heat transfer and ensures that the heat transfer coefficient (U value) of the glass is as low as 0.4-0.6W/(m2·K). At the same time, the independent use of tempered vacuum glass can meet the requirements of the international passive house for the heat transfer coefficient of doors and windows.

Thermal insulation: Selecting vacuum glass with appropriate shading coefficient can effectively control the heat absorbed by sunlight in summer and keep the room cool; while it can keep the room warm and comfortable in winter.

Sound proof and noise reduction: The vacuum layer of vacuum glass can effectively block the transmission of sound, especially for medium and low frequencies with strong penetration, such as traffic noise and construction noise, the effect is very significant. According to the professional weighted sound insulation ratio, the sound insulation of tempered vacuum glass can make indoor low to 39 dB when outdoor noise is 75 dB.

✦Anti condensation: The interior of the vacuum glass is a vacuum, and there is no condensation in the cavity. Tempered vacuum glass has super thermal insulation performance. Even if the outdoor temperature drops to -40°C, the temperature of the indoor glass surface is similar to room temperature and much higher than the condensation temperature.

✦Suitable for different altitudes and installation angles: The interior of the vacuum glass is in a vacuum state, which is not affected by the ambient air pressure, and is suitable for various altitudes; at the same time, the vacuum glass can maintain its performance in various positions of the building, including facades, slopes and roofs. When the insulating glass is laid flat, the gas convection increases and the performance decreases.

Independent use can reach safety glass standard: Tempered vacuum glass retains the safety features such as high strength and impact resistance of tempered glass. And the surface stress distribution of tempered vacuum glass is uniform, which fully meets the stress requirements of tempered glass. It can meet the standards of safety glass without laminating or hollowing, and can be installed and used independently.

✦Light and thin structure with good light transmission: Under the premise of the same thermal insulation performance and safety performance, the thickness of the tempered vacuum glass used independently is the smallest, the required number of glass is less, the whole is more transparent, and has excellent lighting effect.

Features of Traditional Glass Sun Room

As we all know that the heat through the glass is bidirectional, the heat can be transferred from the indoor to the outdoor, and vice versa, and it is carried out at the same time, it is only a problem of poor heat transfer. In winter, the indoor temperature is higher than the outdoor, and the glass is required to have good thermal insulation performance; in summer, the indoor temperature is lower than the outdoor temperature, and the glass is required to have good thermal insulation performance. At the same time, in winter, the temperature on the outside of the glass is low and the temperature on the inside is high, which is prone to condensation on the inside of the glass, and even dripping of condensed water. If the problem of condensation on the glass of the sun room cannot be solved perfectly, its high-quality and comfortable experience will be impossible.

The Best Choice for Sun Room

Vacuum glass is a better energy-saving daylight material. The use of vacuum glass in the sun room can not only meet the lighting needs of people, but also have excellent effects such as heat insulation and dew condensation. In contrast, using a piece of insulating glass placed horizontally or obliquely in the sun room, the U value will vary due to the different inclination angles of the installation. For example, if a piece of argon-filled 6mm+12mm+6mm coated insulating glass is placed flat from a vertical state, its U value will increase from 1.45W/m2·K to 2.14W/m2·K, which seriously affects its thermal insulation performance. The installation of vacuum glass is not affected by various conditions, and its heat transfer coefficient is constant. In addition, the safety of the lighting glass on the top of the sun room is an important part of the architectural design of the sun room. In addition to the impact of wind pressure and hail resistance, the daylight roof glass of the sun room should also consider the impact of harsh environmental factors such as heavy snow and vibration. Therefore, the sun room lighting roof glass is generally tempered glass, including single-layer tempered glass, hollow tempered glass, laminated tempered glass, tempered vacuum glass and various forms of composite tempered glass.

The sun room is not only a resting place to relax, but also can be used as a reception area or a fitness place to increase the fun of life. Using tempered vacuum glass and its window frame structure, a sun room is designed, which is simple and casual. It is a good time to enjoy the sun bathing here in your spare time, and to sit on a leisure chair and enjoy a cup of tea. At present, tempered vacuum glass, as a new favorite of architectural glass, is quietly popularizing in the construction industry. Tempered vacuum glass is favored by consumers because of its lightness, thinness, transparency, thermal insulation, and high safety performance.

In a word, tempered vacuum glass is the leader among the same type of energy-saving glass products in the current market. With its safety features such as impact resistance and wind pressure resistance, as well as the thermal insulation, sound insulation, and condensation-free properties of vacuum glass, it can be used in sunlight. The application in the room provides human beings with a safe and comfortable environment close to nature.
