How to insulate the battery?
There are several ways to warm batteries:
- Use a heat-insulating material, for example, fur. There are even two types: thermal insulation material for battery insulation( factory) and industrial insulation for batteries.
This method is suitable for those who often travel by car. Heat generates the battery, and the material only saves it for a while. The battery itself heats itself. - Insulation of the hood from the inside. The method operates in several directions: the first - the heat from the engine warms the battery, the second - the engine will also heat up, including oil, filters, etc., which means it will be easy to start. This method helps to easily start the engine in the morning, since it does not have time to freeze, enough heat.
How to insulate the hood from the inside:
- Heat insulation of the radiator, for example cardboard, but it is better than a blanket, as low as possible, better even from the top to the very asphalt.
- Close the cardboard front grille of the car.
- Close the front air intakes with cardboard.
- Insulate the bonnet cover with a cotton insulation( sold in the store).Attach to the lid from the inside, not allowing warm air to go out.
- Insulate the walls separating the engine compartment from the car interior. This can be done with foil protection.
- Arrange the thermal insulation material so that the side facing the air intake grille is protected.
How to warm the battery in the car, we figured out. But how to make the heat at home?

How to insulate a cold apartment, when on the street will soon be minus 20?
There are two ways to warm a cold or old apartment:
- internally;
- externally( externally).
Types of insulation of a cold apartment
External insulation includes a number of actions and nuances. In this kind of insulation, your walls do not sweat( this is a significant plus), you avoid dampness. Thermal protection depends on the thickness of the walls and thermal conductivity. Absorption of the material plays an important role in thermal protection. Building materials, whether we like it or not, form pores in which moisture is collected and it provokes the rotting of materials. Moisture reduces the thermal insulation of walls. So, how to insulate the apartment?
Separate the 3 options for placement of thermal insulating insulation:
- The first way - it is easy to carry out at any time of the year. Various modern technologies are used, external decoration is preserved. From the negative: the area of the room decreases, the humidity of the insulation increases( moisture remains in the walls).
- The second way is multi-layer insulation. Placed outside with the use of facing bricks. It is often used for new buildings, and for old houses it is rather problematic, as it requires intervention in the foundation.
- The third way is again external insulation. It consists in the fact that all the vapors and condensate emitted by the walls do not interfere with the insulation material, which means that the service life is extended and the humidity of the bearing wall is reduced. The walls are protected from thawing and struts against atmospheric fluctuations. From the negative: the thermal insulation material is inevitably moistened by atmospheric moisture.
Than to warm the cold walls in the apartment?
The most common insulation is mineral wool, which has a number of disadvantages and advantages. It is made of fiberglass, which is obtained from the processing of fossil silicate composition during the processing of metallurgical enterprises.
Lianrock is also a good insulation material made from stone wool. It saves half the money spent on heating. This material is attached to steel and reinforcement. They are laid in three layers and used to isolate foundations, cellars and underground premises. 
How to install a heater?
No matter how attractive it seems to be an external insulation of the apartment, it should be noted that the specialists do not advise it. First, most building materials breathe and the ready-made house produces air and moisture exchange with the external environment, and the insulation material completely blocks the access of air through the pores. In this case, it is better to immediately install an additional ventilation system to maintain a healthy environment. Secondly, there may be a danger of intruding from the outside of the house, especially in regions with high humidity. Many engineers work on these disadvantages, however, it is not yet decided how to insulate the apartment from the outside and avoid these problems.
Internal insulation, of course, will steal some space, but with it you will avoid many accompanying problems.
Finally, I want to wish you luck in your affairs and let you not be offended by winter frosts!
