在寒冷气候下，密封玻璃单元周边的边缘玻璃传热增加会产生特殊问题。这是凝结水和霜冻最容易发生的地方。边缘玻璃传热的一个机制是边缘密封传导。关于商用的各种边缘密封配置的热阻，几乎没有可用的数据。设计了一种实验程序，利用保护加热板装置直接测量边缘密封的热阻。报告了九个边缘密封试验样品的结果。此外，类似试验的结果提供了边缘施工中使用的四种材料的测量导热系数- 密封测试样品和商用边缘密封件。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。，第95卷，第。2.

In cold climates the increased edge-glass heat transfer at the perimeter of a sealed glazing unit creates a special problem. This is where condensed water and frost most readily occur. One mechanism contributing to edge-glass heat transfer is edge-seal conduction. Very few data are available regarding the thermal resistance of the various edge-seal configurations that are commercially available. An experimental procedure has been devised whereby the thermal resistance of an edge-seal can be directly measured using a guarded heater plate apparatus. Results are reported for nine edge-seal test samples. ln addition, results from similar tests provide measured thermal conductivities for four of the materials used in the construction of the edge-seal test samples and commercially available edge-seals.
