The thermal conductivity of evacuated pure and opacified silica aerogel powders was measured in a guarded hot plate apparatus for temperatures from 10 K up to 275 K and external loads from 1.5*10<sup>4</sup> Pa to 10<sup>5</sup> Pa. Infrared optical measurements of the extinction give the possibility to separate contributions from solid thermal conduction and radiative thermal transport. Measured thermal conductivities range from 29 to 80*10<sup>-6</sup> W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> at a temperature of 15 K and from 0.9 to 3.1*10<sup>-3</sup> W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> at a temperature of 250 K. The solid thermal conductivities lambda <sub>powder</sub> of the powders were compared with those of the monolithic silica aerogel ( lambda <sub>monolith</sub>) the powder grains consist of. The ratio g'= lambda <sub>monolith</sub>/ lambda <sub>powder</sub> was found to be temperature independent in the investigated temperature range. Thus g' can be interpreted as a geometrically induced reduction factor. The mean thermal conductivities averaged over the application temperatures range from 0.7 to 2.2*10<sup>-3</sup> W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> for boundary temperatures of 77.6 and 290 K and from 0.5 to 1.8*10<sup>-3</sup> W m<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup> for boundary temperatures of 20.4 and 290 K. The investigated silica aerogel powders show a large improvement potential for cryogenic thermal powder insulations. They are well suited to substitute expanded Perlite as cryo insulation. |
