  • Publication number: 20120305213
    Abstract: A light and inexpensive heat storage member applicable to spacecrafts is provided. The heat storage member includes a honeycomb structural body having a plurality of cells. Each of the cells is filled with a capsule, which contains a heat storage material, and a heat conductive filler. The heat storage member is provided by bringing a starting material that is a mixture of the capsule containing the heat storage material and the heat conductive filler into contact with the honeycomb structural body to cover at least one surface of the opening of the cells of the honeycomb structure body, subjecting the same to uniaxial pressure molding under the pressure of 4 MPa or more and 10 MPa or less, and filling each cell with the starting material.

  • Publication number: 20120255697
    Abstract: Inorganic fiber paper including bio-soluble inorganic fibers which have been subjected to a heat treatment and a binder. A method for producing inorganic fiber paper including: the first step of subjecting amorphous bio-soluble inorganic fibers to a heat treatment; and the second step of making paper comprising the heat-treated bio-soluble inorganic fibers and a binder. Equipment for heating and/or thermal insulation which includes the inorganic fiber paper.

  • Publication number: 20120247156
    Abstract: A method of producing inorganic fibers includes heating and melting an inorganic raw material that includes 70 wt % or more of silica and 10 wt % to 30 wt % of magnesia and calcia in total in a container to obtain a melt having a melt viscosity of 15 poise or less, supplying the melt to a rotor that rotates at an acceleration of 70 km/s2 or more, drawing the melt due to a centrifugal force caused by rotation of the rotor to obtain fibers, blowing the fibers off by blowing air around the rotor, and collecting the fibers to obtain fibers having an average fiber diameter of 5 ?m or less.
