UV GLASS [9 records]

Record 1 2024-05-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
CONT

Thermal windows are special energy efficient windows that are designed to slow the passage of heat. Thermal windows have 2-3 panes, and many of them have non-toxic gasses between the panes. Others will have special glass that blocks UV [ulraviolet] heat from the sun. Together, the panes, gas, and special glass slow heat from passing.... In summer, thermal windows block hot outside air from entering your air conditioned home. In winter, they stop heated air from escaping.

Domaine(s)
  • Ouvertures (Éléments du bâtiment)
CONT

Les fenêtres thermos, parfois appelées fenêtres à vitrage thermique, sont des fenêtres composées de plusieurs panneaux de verre écoénergétique haute performance, ce qui les rend plus écoénergétiques que les fenêtres à simple vitrage standard. [...] Les fenêtres thermos ont des panneaux de verre séparés par un espace isolé rempli de gaz. Ce gaz isolant réduit la quantité de chaleur transférée entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur de votre maison ou de votre entreprise. Pendant les mois chauds d'été, les fenêtres thermos isolées empêcheront une grande partie de la chaleur extérieure d'entrer dans la maison et pendant les mois d'hiver, moins de chaleur de l'intérieur de la maison sera évacuée vers l'extérieur.

CONT

En plus du gaz isolant entre plusieurs vitres, les fenêtres thermiques intègrent du verre écoénergétique. Le verre à faible émissivité écoénergétique contribue à améliorer encore l'efficacité énergétique des fenêtres en bloquant la lumière UV [ultraviolette] génératrice de chaleur tout en laissant passer la lumière visible.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glazing Materials (Constr.)
CONT

Self-cleaning glazing system.... Pilkington Activ [Trade Name] glass uses the sun's UV rays to gradually and continuously break down and dissolve organic dirt through what's called a photocatalytic effect. Once activated, the photocatalytic process will continue to work at night and even on cloudy days. It also goes through a process called a hydrophilic effect that reduces the surface tension of water to cause it to clean the surface and wash away dirt to leave windows clean.

Key term(s)
  • self cleaning glazing

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériaux verriers (Construction)
DEF

Vitrage qui reçoit un traitement (Activ ou Bioclean) sur la face extérieure le rendant autonettoyant.

CONT

C'est en collaboration avec le verrier britannique Pilkington que Tryba a mis au point cette fenêtre baptisée Trybaclean. Elle est dotée du vitrage autonettoyant «Activ» [...] Techniquement, l'un des verres du double-vitrage de Trybaclean incorpore sur sa face extérieure un revêtement spécial. L'exposition aux UV, de jour comme de nuit, déclenche une réaction chimique en deux temps qui permet ensuite aux eaux de pluie d'évacuer les saletés. Le revêtement spécial déposé sur le verre n'opère quasiment aucun changement sur l'aspect général du vitrage.

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

CEO [Crew Earth Observations] is conducted primarily from the nadir-viewing, optical-quality window in the U. S. Destiny Laboratory Module. The window can view 39. 5 degrees forward along the axis of the Station, 32. 2 degrees aft, and a total of 79. 1 degrees from port to starboard. The window is constructed of four panes. The outermost pane, made of fused silica, is designed to withstand orbital debris and can be changed out by extravehicular activity(EVA) if it becomes damaged. The two center panes, also made of fused silica, are the primary and redundant pressure panes. The interior pane, made of glass laminate, is called the scratch or "kick" pane. This pane protects the primary pressure pane from scratches and damage caused by contact with the crew, and has an ultraviolet/infrared(UV/IR) coating to protect the crew and improve picture quality.

OBS

The two middle panes [the redundant pressure pane and the primary pressure pane] serve as the primary and secondary pressure windows, ensuring that the laboratory module stays pressurized. Each of the panes is 31.75 cm (1-1/4 in.) thick.

OBS

redundant pressure pane: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).
