Abstract
We propose an analysis technique to support the layout optimization of the vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) for refrigerators. We used a one-dimensional calculation technique to simulate the heat loss caused by VIP envelope materials. The VIP thermal characteristics were shown by approximated system efficiency by using the panel's average length (Lp). We compared this simplified method to three dimensional numerical analysis on 1-6 micrometer thick, vacuum-packed aluminum foil and 1.5 6 mW/mK of thermally conductive heat-insulated core materials. The heat loss generated by the proposed method was verified to with a 1% error margin.
