Insulated glass is a structure that consists of two layers of glass with a certain distance between them. This gap is either in a vacuum state or filled with an inert gas, typically argon gas. Argon gas is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, inert gas that has low thermal conductivity and low density. It belongs to the rare gas category.
Adding argon gas to insulated glass is mainly to improve its insulation performance. Argon gas has a lower thermal conductivity than air. After filling argon gas in the insulated glass, the heat transfer can be reduced, and the thermal conductivity of the glass can be lowered, thereby improving the insulation performance of the glass. In addition, argon gas has good stability, is not easy to overflow, has good sealing and chemical stability, and will not affect the service life of the insulated glass.
Furthermore, filling argon gas can effectively reduce the condensation of water vapor on the glass surface. When the water vapor in the air enters the insulated glass, because argon gas has a lower thermal conductivity, water vapor is difficult to conduct along the glass surface, thereby reducing the possibility of water vapor condensation.
In conclusion, filling argon gas in insulated glass can improve its insulation performance, reduce the possibility of water vapor condensation, and improve its service life. Therefore, it has been widely used in the fields of construction, automobiles, and other industries.
