Abstract:
The insulated unit (1) of the present invention comprises an inner liner (9), an outer liner (8), an insulation space (10) between the inner liner (9) and the outer liner (8), an insulating material (2) filling the inner space (10). The inner liner (9) and the outer liner (8) of the insulated unit (1) are formed by a composite sheet (11) including one or more plastic sheets (3) and one or more film materials (7) that is formed by metal and thin plastic layers.
Abstract:
Zum Aufbau thermisch isolierender Gehäuse ist eine Wand als sandwichartige Umhüllung von Partikeln geringer Wärmeleitfähigkeit vorgesehen, wobei die Partikel aus einer Mischung von 65 Gewichts-% Partikeln einer mittleren Korngröße von 5 bis 9 nm aus pyrogen hergestellter Kieselsäure, 15 Gewichts-% Partikeln mittlerer Korngröße von 3,1 bis 3,9 µm aus gefällter Kieselsäure und 20 Gewichts-% aus Partikeln einer mittleren Korngröße im Bereich 0,12 bis 0,18 µm aus Microsilica bestehen; die der umgebenden Atmosphäre ausgesetzte Seite der Umhüllung besteht aus Stahl oder Edelstahlblech, während die der Atmosphäre abgewandte Seite aus Stahl, Aluminium oder Edelstahl besteht. Zur Verbesserung der thermischen Isolierung und Formstabilität des Gehäuses ist eine Luftabführung aus dem von der Umhüllung gebildeten Zwischenraum vorgesehen, wobei ggf. ein Isoliergas mit einem Druck im Bereich von 10 bis 10³ Pascal sich im Zwischenraum befindet.
Abstract:
Precipitated silica is mixed with a fly ash material and is employed as an insulating material having a low thermal conductivity. The mixture of precipitated silica and fly ash material is dried, compressed, placed in an evacuable pouch, and evacuated. The resulting board-like insulation configuration is used directly as insulation. The board-like material which is produced may be used as insulation in household refrigerators and freezers by placing it in an insulation space between the inner liner and the outer case and encapsulating the board-like material with a foamed insulating material.
Abstract:
A thermal insulation bag (1) for vacuum-pckaging micropowder material (12) comprises a multi-layer sheet having thermoweldable plastics layers (8, 10) and an intermediate metal layer (9). To prevent heat conduction through the metal layer from one side of the bag to the other side, the metal layer is of smaller dimensions than the other layers so that the sealed edges (3) do not comprise the metal layer edges. For positioning and fixing purposes the metal layer (9) only comprises small tabs 9A which are sealed between the plastics layers (8, 10).
Abstract:
Precipitated silica, formed by the interaction of sodium water glass and sulfuric acid, followed by mechanical processing, is employed as an insulating material having a low thermal conductivity. The precipitated silica is dried, compressed, placed in an evacuable pouch, and evacuated. The resulting board-like insulation configuration is used directiy as insuiation in, for example, household refrigerators.
Abstract:
An insulated cabinet structure includes an inner liner having a plurality of walls defining a refrigerator compartment, and an external wrapper having a plurality of walls defining a refrigerator compartment receiving area. An insulation gap is formed between the walls of the inner liner and the walls of the external wrapper. A first insulation material is positioned on a wall of the external wrapper and extends outwardly into the insulation gap to partially fill the insulation gap. The first insulation material includes a renewable resource component having a particle size in a range from about 10 microns to about 25 microns. A second insulation material is disposed in the insulation gap, such that the first insulation material and the second insulation material together substantially fill the insulation gap.
