An insulating shell designed to fit a variety of thermal expansion tanks which provides substantial insulation. The insulation shell includes a first half shell, a second half shell, and an interlocking mechanism. The first half shell and the second half shell join together to form an enclosed shell with a hollow interior. The first half shell and the second half shell each include a main body, a central cavity, and a hole. The main body provides the thermal insulation. The central cavity laterally traverses into the main body through a planar mating surface and receives the tank. The hole traverses into the main body from an external surface to an internal surface and received associated plumbing of the tank. The interlocking mechanism includes a first engaging element and a second engaging element, which are used to attach the first half shell and the second half shell together.

A cryogenic installation unit comprises at least one item of equipment to be thermally insulated, a structure for containing the at least one item of equipment, a main insulation contained in the structure and, associated with this main insulation, a secondary insulation of lower thermal conductivity than the main insulation, said secondary insulation consisting of a vacuum insulation panel.

A multi-layered composition for externally coating glass and ceramic substrates to provide thermal insulation and resistance of the substrate itself, and any further substances enclosed in the substrate in the case where the substrate is an open or enclosed container. Also provided are methods of manufacture and application for the disclosed composition.

At least one puck is used to manufacture a vacuum insulated panel with a shaped opening. A pair of barrier films are positioned about an insulated core having a shaped opening such as a through bore, cutout, or relief. The puck includes a protrusion having a shape similar to that of the opening of the insulated core. With the barrier films positioned about the insulated core, the pucks are inserted into the opening from opposite sides of the insulated core to thereby compress the barrier films between the shaped protrusions of the pucks to thereby prevent wrinkles and/or creases in the barrier films. The insulated core is then subjected to a vacuum to evacuate the insulated core of any gases and the barrier films are heat sealed to maintain the insulated core in the evacuated state. Excess barrier film is then removed to provide a wrinkle and/or crease free seal.

The present invention relates to a heat conservation-insulating material which is coated with a UV film and has maximized heat efficiency, wherein: the material uses a thermosetting water-soluble acrylic adhesive to ensure the minimum uniform coating film thickness required for corrosion prevention of a pipe and strength reinforcement during curing and allow easy installation with flexibility and sufficient working time before the installation; and a surface of the insulating material is UV-coated and thermosetting-coated by dual-cure curing method so that even a part where light or ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate can be cured, a heat conservation-insulating material having vivid colors can be obtained even when dye and pigment are added to realize various colors, and the cutting processability is excellent to enable a uniform coating on various surfaces, such as metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, stone, wood, and various building materials, or even on sharply bent shapes.

The present invention relates to a benzoxazine based copolymer aerogel obtained by reacting a benzoxazine monomer or oligomer and a comonomer selected from the group consisting of an isocyanate compound, a cyclic ether compound and an acid anhydride compound in a presence of a catalyst and a solvent, wherein said catalyst is an optional ingredient when said comonomer is an acid anhydride compound or an isocyanate compound. Benzoxazine based copolymer aerogel according to the present invention provides high thermal insulation material, while good mechanical properties and performance is maintained.

A method of forming a thermal insulation porous film includes mixing 100 parts by weight of polysilsesquioxane-containing polymer, 20 to 75 parts by weight of surfactant, and 20 to 2000 parts by weight of solvent to form a thermal insulation coating material, wherein the polysilsesquioxane-containing polymer in the thermal insulation coating material is tube-shaped or sheet-shaped. The thermal insulation coating material is coated on a substrate, and then dried and sintered to form a thermal insulation porous film.
