New type of filler gas?

#1 Post by Mark »

I know that window units have been filled with air, and exotic gases like argon, krypton, and xenon. Kind of wonder why they never put a vacuum in there - wouldn't that be the best insulator? Anyway a salesman came out here the other night. Says that his company has developed a new type of filler gas. Better insulator, cheaper to get this gas, can tell thru smell if there has been any seal breakage. Only bad side effects is that I think it makes the window more susceptible to wind breakage, and probably has a noise side effect. Uranus gas. Do you think the salesman was full of BS or was it just his windows?

:lol:

New gas

Anyone happen to know the name of the largest moon orbiting Uranus?

And nothing new about that gas. According to my wife I have been producing it for years.

And on a bit more serious note, a vacuum between two lites would indeed be the very best sort of insulator. Unfortunately, the window would collapse fromt he pressure (or lack of!).
