TOMSK, Jul 19 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building (TSUAB) developed windows of a special design which keep heat and protect from noise as well as stone walls – they will be useful, for example, for kindergartens in northern regions, the developer of the project, the graduate student Elena Poderni reported RIA Tomsk.
"We developed and patented plastic windows of the special design with airexchange valves. <…> Most of all warm leave apartments through usual windows, and ours have resistance to the warm transfer almost the same as walls", – she told.
According to Poderni, it was managed to reach low warmloss thanks to the fact that each part of the window is in separate cover. At the same time scientists suggested to increase number of layers in frames from standard three to five. And the through air duct in a wall can replace a window leaf if necessary; at the same time intensity of airing is regulated. Low warmloss will allow to cut down expenses for heating also.The interlocutor of the agency added that it was also succeeded to reach the maximum noise isolation. It can be kept even when airing the room – if to open not a window, but an air duct.
Poderni specified that the windows were developed by scientists and students of TSUAB. Batches were produced at Tomsk plant of plastic windows. Now developers look for investors to bring windows to the market – allegedly, they will be 1,5 times more expensive than plastic windows of "the simplest complete set". However before entry into the market of the product a number of tests was conducted.
She noted that such windows will be useful in areas where high thermal insulation is necessary, for example, in northern regions. Besides, they will be suitable for situations when the silence is necessary. In particular, they can be used in kindergartens, hospitals, nursing homes, educational institutions, recording studios or just in apartments of those where people would prefer to live without noise.
