LandVac is Chosen to be the Designated Building Material for an Upscale Villa Project in Xi’An

Since the launch of LandVac series vacuum glass, it has demonstrated superior performance in various applications and received widespread market attention. Recently, LandVac made by LandGlass was chosen to be the designated construction material for the sunroom project in an upscale villa in Xi’An . The upgrade delivers outstanding sound and thermal insulation and is well received by the property owners.

Adjacent to Xi’An Tang Paradise in the south, the luxury villas offer a quiet residential neighborhood in the city with the location advantage of key school district and convenient access to transportation. While the prices for these houses easily exceed 10M, it has been one of the preferred communities for many wealthy families. After ID registration at the entrance gate, we were permitted to tour the area. The LandVac installation project is located on the west side of the top floor. The glass selected for this project is the laminated LandVac, with maximum size up to 1755*1865mm. The actual sizes of the customized glass are carefully adjusted based on the sunlight exposure of each wall and their particular positions. While the performance of thermal insulation, energy savings, and noise reduction are optimized, sufficient daylight in the structure is also warranted.

On our arrival, Mr. Chen, one of the owners, greeted us warmly. Talking about the LandVac, he said with a big smile, “I’ve been in building materials business for several decades and handled all types of materials.  Before, the Low-E insulated glass with U-value 1.8W/(㎡·K) is already considered a great product. Now LandVac with U-value 0.4W/(㎡·K) , it’s the first time I’ve seen. I placed the order without hesitation when i saw the samples.” He then invited us to the installation site. Stepping into the sunroom on the west side of the 3rd floor, we were surrounded by heat waves. With outdoor temperature reaching 30 degree Celsius, the temperature inside the sunroom was steaming hot like that in an oven. Looking at the LandVac stacked on the floor, ready for installation, Mr. Chen said, “hot or not, let’s wait and see tomorrow.”

In the afternoon of the following day, we visited the place again to see the sunroom that just had glass replaced by LandVac. With sunshine strong as the previous day, the indoor temperature was obviously much cooler. The burning feeling was gone. I looked at the thermometer. It showed that the temperature was 6-7 degrees Celsius lower than outdoor. Meanwhile, before the replacement, you could hear the traffic noise from the streets. After the glass all got replaced by LandVac, the vacuum chamber of LandVac effectively blocked sound transmission. Having door and windows closed, the room shut also the noise out. Mr. Chen said that the thermal and noise insulation effects were so impressive that he would make LandVac his number one choice for windows and doors in his future projects.

LandVac is fully tempered vacuum insulated glass developed by LandGlass with independent intellectual property rights after eight years of devoted work. It has demonstrated outstanding properties in thermal insulation and energy conservation. It is now summertime and we only enjoy the benefits of heat and noise reduction brought to us by LandVac. In the coming time, we will also be able to experience all other advantages LandVac offers, such as free of condensation and great impact resistance. LandVac will help you to build a comfortable environment and improve the quality of life.

What are the main structural components of LandGlass’ C-bent glass tempering furnace?

The C-bent section of LandGlass’ C-bent glass tempering furnace employs a fully integrated welding rack. The main components comprise of a cooling system, a drive system, a servo controlled bending system and an air control system. The cooling system is formed by an upper and lower chiller, air boxes and air pipes; the drive system is formed by a variable-frequency motor, decelerator and a roller bed that can execute lateral bending; the servo controlled bending system is primarily formed with an upper and lower chiller bending structure and arc-adjusting structure; the air control system is formed by the shutter, air release valve, air distribution boxes, etc.

The composition of chillers in glass tempering furnace and how it works

The composition of chillers in the glass tempering furnace : the chillers are composed of several chiller assemblies, each consisting of a number of small air boxes and an air distribution box, connected to be an integrated device through the chiller frame. 

How the chiller in the glass tempering furnace works: The air distribution boxes are connected to the blowing system through canvas tubes. The cooling air will fill the air chambers of all small air box via the distribution box, flowing horizontally in these small air boxes and blowing out through the aluminum nozzles to quench the tempered glass.

China Made “Ultra-thin Glass”in about the Thickness of A4 Paper

A team led by Cao Xin, the Deputy President of Bengbu Glass Research Institute, a research unit of China National Building Material Co., Ltd, was carrying out a falling ball test on the ultra-thin glass developed by them. He tested the glass by dropping a steel ball of 55 grams onto it from a meter above. That impact was equivalent to the force of a car running at 150 kilometers per hour. The glass remained intact. 

The sheet glass being tested just came off the production line in April, 2018. This ultra-thin glass is only 0.12 millimeter thick, the thinnest glass in the world manufactured using the float process. As the ultra-thin glass can withstand such a large impact, no wonder Cao Xin claims it to be the world’s stunning achievement. 

Ultra-thin glass refers to glass with a thickness range from 0.1-1.1mm. It is one of the core materials in the electronic display industry and used in display screens for mobile phones, computers and televisions. The thinner the glass, the better its transparency and flexibility, and the lighter its weight.  0.12 mm is truly among the thinnest. As Mr. Cao said, the next goal for the institute is to reduce the thickness to 0.1 mm and aims to take a lead position in the world’s ultra-thin glass industry.

Application of Low-E Glass in Vacuum Insulated Glass

Until now, the ultimate usage state of Low-E glasses in the overseas and domestic markets is mostly appearing in the insulating glass. It is because the heat transfer coefficient of the exterior surface of the building window glass is composed of 18% radiation and 82% convection and conduction, while that in the interior surface of the building window glass is composed of 58% radiation and 42% convection and conduction. When the insulating glass is formed, a reasonable thickness of the air layer will further lower the percentage of convection heat transfer. For the vacuum insulated glass, the air in the air layer is completely drawn away resulting in a high vacuum with pressure lower than 0.1Pa. Basically, it has removed the convection, conduction and heat transfer of the gases.

The Low-E glass is the raw material for producing vacuum insulated glasses. When Low-E glass and clear glass are used to produce vacuum insulated glasses, it works almost exactly the same way as a regular vacuum glass flask. The radiation rate of the coated Low-E glass has achieved below 0.11, significantly lowering the heat transfer coefficient of the vacuum insulated glass contributing to the elevation the thermal insulation performance of the vacuum insulated glass. With the widespread use of the vacuum insulated glasses, the application conditions of Low-E glasses has become more enriching. The vacuum insulated glasses will have a wide variety of safety glass.
