MÉTODO PARA LA ESTIMACIÓN EXPERIMENTAL DE LA CONDUCTIVIDAD TÉRMICA DE ALGUNOS MATERIALES COMUNES EN COLOMBIA PARA APLICACIONES HVAC/R

This article presents the experimental development implemented to estimate the thermal conductivity of some materials used in Colombia at the field of refrigeration and air conditioning (HVAC/R). The thermal balance is used as a tool on a calorimeter, specially designed and instrumented to estimate the conductivity of different materials, diminishing the ambient effect on the thermal balance. The mathematical model implemented from the thermal balance is solved using EES software.
