Production of Typha domingensis thermal insulation boards for refrigeration

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The present study proposes formulations of ecomaterial insulation based on Typha domingensis for the design of insulation boards for refrigerators. The biosourced chips are obtained by thermopressing a Typha + cassava starch composite, with Typha particles (particle size ) and starch. The values obtained for the samples with binder show a thermal conductivity varying between and . After demoulding and drying, briquettes measuring or are obtained, with thicknesses of between and 5 . A case study shows that, in addition to their environmental benefits, these briquettes significantly reduce thermal loads compared with polyurethane, attesting to their excellent insulating properties.
