Wärmedurchgangseigenschaften der Umfassung

Ruhende wegen Selbstzersetzlichkeit kritische Stoffe befinden sich in der technischen Praxis meistens in Umfassungen, die ähnlich wie die umschlossenen Stoffe (Kap.2.1) isolierend wirken. Während diese nicht nur isolieren, sondern – im Zentrum mehr in den äußeren Schichten weniger – Wärme entwickeln, wirken die Umfassungen nur als Widerstand gegen den Wärmedurchgang nach außen. Die Umfassungen können Verpackungen, die Wandungen von Lager- oder Zwischenbehältern und Ähnliches sein, schließlich auch Wandkonstruktionen von Produktionseinrichtungen, die mit Material befüllt zum Stillstand gekommen sind. Im Fall eines havariebedingt stecken gebliebenen Trommeltrockners kann die Umfassung aus einer Doppelwandkonstruktion mit Flüssigkeitsfüllung bestehen.
