R-value is defined as the resistance of a product or a surface to heat flow<\/strong>. The effectiveness of insulation is measured in terms of its R-value or resistance to heat flow<\/strong>. Higher R-values indicate better insulating properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are R-value calculators to calculate this value, but you can divide the insulation thickness (in inches) by its thermal conductivity. You will not likely need this formula since most brands provide this value on their sales page. Remember that in most cases, the higher the R-value, the better the insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This measure of thermal resistance is quite significant in determining the quality of insulation. If your refrigeration products, such as refrigerators and freezers, have a good R-value, you will have more control over the heat in your facilities and be more energy-efficient. This energy efficiency will indeed reflect on your bills and the longevity of your machine. So, pay attention to the R-value of the refrigeration products you purchase for your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
