NEW HAVEN, CT, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
American Green Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AMNE) (www.amneotcpk.com)
announces "Infinite R," a revolutionary insulation that could change
building around the world.
About INFINITE R
Infinite R controls the temperature differential across the R-value. If
the temperature difference can be kept low then the heat flow across any
R-value is also kept low. If the temperature difference, sometimes
referred to as Delta T, equals zero then zero heat flow occurs. Using
this new patented technology, zero heat flow conditions have been
witnessed even when large temperature differential existed between the
two spaces.
Benefits
Claims are that the Infinite R under development could save up to 20
percent of house space-conditioning costs. A Computer model of the
laboratory tests of the attic INFINITE R insulation showed that it reduced
the total heat flow by 22 percent and the peak heat flow was 42 percent
lower than an equal thickness of fiberglass insulation. It reduced the air
conditioning load by 40 percent and shifted the peak load up to eight
hours, depending on climate. Infinite R insulation is most effective in
climates that have sharp variations between day and night temperatures.
Adopted in sufficient quantities, the technology could result in
reductions of peak-hour energy use that make unnecessary the use of
expensive utility peak-hour shaving power plants and defer the
construction of additional power plants to meet peak energy demands.
A private company with the help of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a building envelope
application. It has tested an attic insulation that absorbs daytime heat,
releasing it at night. The Infinite R changes phases from solid to liquid
at 82 degreesF, absorbing heat from the hot attic during the day, before
it can penetrate the home. When attic temperatures cool at night, the
Infinite R solidifies and releases heat back into the attic, moderating
outdoor temperatures.
Imagine a layer of insulation (R-value) in a building where the
temperature difference across that layer was near zero all the time!
Imagine a product that (when used in conjunction with spray foam
insulation,) seals the envelope, protects the space with "R" Value, and,
Controls the Delta T across the Insulation!
Infinite R collects thermal energy from its environment and stores it
until it reaches its "saturation point" or until the ambient temp drops
below the phase change temp. In our case, our basic material has a phase
change at 81 degrees F. So any temps above that number would be stored in
the material and when the ambient drops below that temp (at night) the
heat would be released by Infinite R. This would of course flatten out
(modulate) the highest temps of the day (while the Infinite R is
absorbing the heat unlike most other materials, it doesn't change
temperature itself!) and perhaps more importantly, it would push forward
4-8 hrs the actual "Peak use period" for power companies. This of course
would help to control customer energy costs as many utilities charge more
for peak period use, and help prevent brown and blackouts by removing our
customers' peak period from the load!
In heating environments, it acts as a heat storage material that can store
thermal energy (either solar or mechanically generated) then release it at
night. In radiant heat floors as example any excess heat would be
collected by the Infinite R then when the floor heat is turned down or
off, the Infinite R will release its heat and keep the floor warm
(80degrees) for much of the night. For example, imagine sitting around a
fire place where the room was too hot while the fire was burning bright
then cooled very quickly when the fire died down, Infinite R in the wall
would lower the temp in the room when the fire is roaring by absorbing
heat above 81 degrees thus flattening out the peak temp, but when the
fire dies down and the room begins to cool as the temp drops to 80
degrees the Infinite R will start releasing the energy (at 80 degrees)
and tend to keep the room at that temp most of the night or day.
