You operate a concession trailer or
mobile catering truck and what you probably do not realize is that
you share a common problem with the US Navy, Army, and Coast Guard.
When the US Navy had heat build-up
problems with their remote control vehicle trailers; when the US
Army had heat build-up problems on their Patriot Missile Launchers;
when the US Coast Guard had heat build-up problems on the decks of
their coastal patrol ships based in Miami and Puerto Rico they all
went looking for a solution. They required a solution that did not
involve additional power to support supplemental air conditioning
systems.
They found it in a relatively new product to enter the market –
Insuladd!
Basic white roof
coatings (paint) are simply reflectors of light (radiant energy) that
turns into heat when it strikes an object such as the roof or walls of
concession trailer or mobile catering truck. As the white coating
becomes dirty from normal contaminants in the air its ability to reflect
radiant energy is reduced until it reaches a point where it is
reflecting very little radiant energy what-so-ever and the heat is being
transmitted directly to the interior of the trailer or building.
Insuladd has developed ceramic microspheres, to
be a broad spectrum (visible and infrared) radiant energy
reflectors. When Insuladd is added into ordinary paint or other
roof coating it creates a radiant barrier, not simply a radiant
reflector as white paint is.
As an example: By painting the underside of a concession trailer
roof with Insuladd the interior will be noticeably cooler in summer
and warmer in the winter. Regular white paint alone does not
contain the properties to perform this temperature stabilization.
Insuladd has been used by companies such as
Container House International, to paint their shipping containers in
order to reduce the interior temperature and lessen the loading on
refrigeration units.
Insuladd can be purchased as paint or as an
additive that can be blended with paint or other coatings.
Note: Insuladd
can also be used in homes to increase the “R” factor on exterior walls.
