Avaliação do desempenho térmico da placa do sistema de vedação vertical externo usando placas cerâmicas contendo lodo de eta e cinza de casca de arroz

Abstract

Pressed ceramic plates were obtained from mixtures with different proportions containing kaolin clay, silica extracted from the rice husk after burning at controlled temperature and sludge from a water treatment plant (LETA). Physical properties such as bulk density, water absorption and porosity, mechanical properties such as compressive strength, and thermal properties as thermal conductivity of the ceramic plates after firing (DIN EN12667) were evaluated. The silica when inserted in the kaolin clay provides an increase in the glassy phase, reduction in the porous phase, reduction of thermal conductivity and increase of mechanical resistance. The use of the LETA when inserted in the ceramic mass provides a considerable increase of the mullite and cristobalite peaks, expressive increase of porosity and decrease of the thermal and mechanical resistances. The ceramic plates with a mixture trace containing 80% kaolin clay, 20% silica rice husk and 10% LETA showed the lowest value of thermal conductivity in the ceramic plate after burning of 0.2574W / mK, and the highest compressive strength of 189.97 MPa when compared to the other traits tested. Due to these thermomechanical properties, the ceramic plates with this formulation were applied as a coating on a real-scale masonry wall with dimensions 1.20 m wide x 2.20 m high, being submitted to the heat and thermal shock test (ABNT NBR 15575). The durability performance indicated that the ceramic plate containing this formulation has potential to be used as coating on building facades. The results of the test of durability did not present any degradation such as: deformation, cracks or unevenness, and presented a horizontal displacement of 1,13 mm, being this a value below that established in norm NBR 15575 that predicts 8 mm for a height of 2 , 40m.
