Wet pre-used kingspan boards, what to do now?

Hi all, so I am refitting a caravan and I bought myself a good deal of kingspan 40mm kooltherm pir boards for additional insulation on an auction (sight unseen). As it turns out the guy selling had stored it outside without proper cover. Probably 1/3 of the boards are at least twice the weight of the lighter ones, some of them are extremely heavy so they no doubt have a lot of water in them. Some of them feel okay but they have most likely all been in contact with water in one way or another.

I got a discount, but now I have a bunch of boards (2/3 of what I got) that contain a relatively smaller amount of moisture and a smaller amount (about 1/3) which are significantly heavier.

I have attempted drying some of them out by covering them with plastic and running an AC. It does not seem to be very effective.

From my understanding a smaller amount of moisture does not mean a lot when using them under flooring, but for a caravan I have my doubts.

- Any suggestions on what to do?
- How to best dry them out?
- How to know if they can be used?

Any advice would be hugely appriciated, they take up a lot of space and I need to start insulating the caravan asap.

Thank you!

How to test used batterypacks+inverter, Solax

Hi there!

I have a very basic understanding og electrical systems. I trust myself to solder basic things and use standard basic connectors, but thats about it.

I am looking at aquiring a few battery modules and an inverter from the Solax brand for a new project. All the units are pre owned and I need to test them asap after purchase.

How do I best go about doing this? Preferably with the use of 1-phase power socket, but I understand that this might not be possible.

Inverter: x3-15.0p-t-d

Batterypacks (two units): hv10063

Also, for the the actual install I will aquire the help of professionals since I understand that its a high voltage system and I want my insurance to cover.

Thank you!
