Another application of krypton is in energy efficient insulating window units:
-
Thermal insulation – Krypton has lower thermal conductivity than air, reducing conductive heat transfer.
-
Sound dampening – Krypton gas helps attenuate noise transmission through window panes.
-
Durability – Krypton is nonreactive and protects window components from corrosion or aging.
-
Cost effectiveness – Only modest krypton usage is required to gain insulation benefits.
-
Environmental benefit – Better insulated windows reduce building energy consumption and costs.
-
Safety – Krypton is nontoxic and noncombustible, ideal for homes and buildings.
Though more expensive that argon, krypton gas fill notably enhances the insulating value and acoustic dampening of modern multi-pane windows.
