Optically transparent, thermally insulating and soundproofing (OTTIS) aerogel for high-efficiency window applications
… need for more energy efficient windows. However, insulating windows represent a thermal challenge due to the needs for optical clarity and thermal performance. Successful application of window design requires an in-depth understanding of both fundamental heat transfer and the occupant needs of our …

Modeling, fabrication and optimization of optically transparent - thermally insulating silica aerogels for solar thermal applications
… with simple, black, absorbing surfaces. An Optically Transparent Thermally Insulating (OTTI) layer was assumed to be coated on the back side of the black, broadband absorber. This absorber was assumed to have perfect transparency and opacity in the solar spectrum and Infra-Red (IR), …

Experimental investigations of using silica aerogel to harvest unconcetrated sunlight in a solar thermal receiver
… flat plate collector using silica- aerogel. Optically Transparent Thermally Insulating silica aerogel with its high transmittance and low thermal conductivity is used as a volumetric shield. The prototype collector was subjected to ambient testing conditions during the months of winter. The …

High temperature annealing for structural optimization of silica aerogels in solar thermal applications
Optically transparent, thermally insulating monolithic silica aerogel, with its high solar transmittance and low thermal conductivity, is well-suited for solar thermal applications, particularly concentrated solar power systems. The properties of silica aerogel are directly determined by the …
