CONDENSATION ANALYSIS OF THE INSULATION OF WALLS ACCORDING TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN MARDIN PROVINCE

Abstract

In this study, condensation and vapor diffusion caused by different positioned insulation in the wall for Mardin province were analyzed. In the analysis, according to 2008 standard of TS 825, Glaser graphing method and graphical user interface (GUI) were used in MATLAB. Extruded polyurethane foam was used as the insulation material and normal unreinforced concrete was selected as the wall. Evaporation and condensation amounts were determined by creating 6 different wall models with the same insulation thickness of 20 cm thick and unreinforced concrete wall covered with 2 cm plaster on the inside and 3 cm thickness on the outside. The data obtained for 2 cm and 4 cm insulation thicknesses are presented in tables and the results are interpreted for Mardin province. As a result, it was seen that the worst wall structure in terms of condensation and evaporation was obtained in the middle insulated wall and later in the interior insulated wall structure. The externally insulated wall showed no condensation.
