Figure Legend:
Slope-dependent total U-value [W/m2K] of the upper hot (90 °C) plate to the lower cold (30 °C) plate with different insulation concepts between the plates for 30 mm (circles) and 50 mm (squares) plate distance: No insulation, i.e., air gap (hollow), two- (hollow and crossed) and four-sided (filled) film insulation. For comparison, U-values for different mineral wool insulations plotted (bar ranges, upper bar corresponding to 30 mm, lower to 50 mm insulation strength).
