RESEARCH ON MEASURING METHOD OF THE THERMALCONDUCTIVITY FOR HIGHLY POROUS MATERIALS

A transient method with rectangular pulse heating has been developed to measure the thermal conductivity of highly porous materials such as activated carbon, zeolite and silica gel. By this method the thermal conductivity can be measured quickly and accu-rately. In this paper, a set of automatically controlled testing equiptnent is presented.The measuring method is analysed. The thermal conductivities of some samples, such as activated carbon and zeolite, are measured by the equipment. A group of useful data has been obtained.
