INSULATION
GABARRÓN storage heaters are engineered using three different types of
thermal insulation.
Microtherm, one of the most effi cient and innovative insulation materials available
in the industry. Given its low conductivity and high heat resistance features, it is
one of the most effi cient insulation materials working at high temperatures. It is
the basis of the main insulation products used in the aerospace industry.
Storage Heaters include this material in order to achieve perfect insulation of
the temperature in the heater’s internal charge core to prevent heat losses. At
the same time also maintains the outer body of the storage heater at a low and
safe temperature.
GABARRÓN storage heaters contain between 20 to 30% more Microtherm insulation than any other similar product
on the market. We are proud to say that Gabarron range of Storage Heaters extend their heat retention capacity and
enlarge the real period of heat release into the room over a longer period of time.
Vermiculite is the second insulation material used by ELNUR in the
construction of storage heaters. It is one of the most compact and lightest
of existing insulation materials. Weighing up to 60% less than any other
insulation product on the market. It is highly fi reproof and, above all, does
not deteriorate or decompose.
This high resistance makes it the ideal insulation material for use in the areas
of the storage heater where, in addition to insulation, a resistant product is
required that adequately combines with the heavy heat storage blocks.
Finally, the third of the insulation products used is ceramic fi bre, with a high
resistance to high temperatures and heat cycles. One of its advantages is its
behaviour in high temperatures, with the lowest level of shrinkage compared
to other fi bres on the market.
Another reason why we use ceramic fi bre in GABARRÓN storage heaters is
that it does not contain any organic binder, thus enabling us to eliminate the
possibility of any unpleasant smells being released during the charging cycles,
as is often the case with other types of similar insulation fi bres.
It is very fl exible and adaptable to any design, and has a very low thermal
conductivity, improving the overall effi ciency of the heater.
