Aerogel is currently the best insulation material available, with pore sizes smaller than the mean free path of air molecules at atmospheric pressure. This results in air molecules within the aerogel pores being nearly at rest, thereby preventing convective heat transfer. Additionally, the extremely low bulk density of aerogel and the tortuous pathways of its nanostructure hinder both gaseous and solid thermal conduction. The infinite walls of voids minimize thermal radiation. These three factors work together to almost completely block all pathways of heat transfer, allowing aerogel to achieve unmatched thermal insulation performance, with thermal conductivity even lower than that of static air at room temperature (0.025 W/m·K). Aerogel blankets are relatively thin, providing significant advantages in tight installation spaces, making them easy to install and enhancing the overall aesthetic of insulation. They are primarily used for insulation in boilers, gasifiers, dryers, and kilns; thermal insulation for steam turbines; lining insulation for separators/filters; insulation for ducts and flues; leak prevention in storage tanks; leak prevention in distillation columns; insulation for process pipelines; insulation for cold process pipelines; container insulation; insulation for valve boxes; and other loose fill materials.
