Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein a binder disperses over the whole glass fiber in a vacuum heat insulating material, solid heat conductivity increases in a core material where the inside of a fiber molded body is also uniformly bound, and the heat insulating performance of the vacuum heat insulating material degrades. SOLUTION: Concentration of the binder varies in the thickness direction of the core material of the vacuum heat insulating material. A part having small binder concentration is disposed, thereby reducing solid heat conductivity and improving the heat insulating performance. Further, the part having small binder concentration has a small exhaust resistance, so that degree of vacuum at an exhaust time can be easily decreased and the productivity of the vacuum heat insulating material is improved.

PURPOSE: To keep the performance of a vacuum heat insulator over a long period in the vacuum heat insulator formed of a facing material, a core material and an adsorbent which is usable as a heat insulating material for refrigerator by using, as the adsorbent, a one having at least a non-evaporation type getter material. CONSTITUTION: This vacuum heat insulator 1 is manufactured by filling a core material 2 consisting of a hard urethane foam of open cell structure and a getter material 3 consisting of an alloy containing barium and lithium into a facing material 4 consisting of a metal-plastic laminated film followed by sealing under reduced pressure. The surface of the getter material 3 is preferably covered with a moisture adsorbent, and a powdery one is used as the adsorbent. Since the getter material 3 is of non-evaporation type, it need not be evaporated in vacuum atmosphere, and the handling at ordinary temperature is facilitated. Thus, it can be applied to the vacuum heat insulator 1 using plastic material as the facing material, and the heat insulating performance can be kept at high level.

PURPOSE:To provide a high orientation rate and improve insulation performance by forming hard urethane foam of continuous bubble structure via a double conveyor, removing a skin from the foam and slicing the foam in the same direction as the travel of the double conveyor for use as a core material. CONSTITUTION:A vessel 3 is filled with a hard urethane foam core material 2 having continuous bubble structure, a barrier material 5 and an adsorbing agent 6. Then, the vessel 3 is sealed with a cover material 4, thereby forming a vacuum insulation pack 1. In this case, the hard urethane foam core material 2 is made by removing the skin layer 14 of hard urethane foam 13 of continuous bubble structure manufactured with a double conveyor and slicing a product 15 so obtained in the same direction A as the travel of the double conveyor. As a result of slicing the product 15 in the same direction, an orientation rate is improved, thereby enabling heat conduction to be lowered.
