The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal conductor achieving both excellent light weight and excellent rigidity and also having excellent heat dissipation property. In order to achieve the above object, the thermal conductor according to the present invention has the following configuration. That is, a thermal conductor in which a sheet-shaped thermal conductive material (II) having an in-plane thermal conductivity of 300 W/m.Math.K or more is contained in a porous structure (I) configured of reinforcing fibers and a resin.

An object is to suitably press a composite material. A processing apparatus 10 includes: a mold 11 having a pressing surface 11a configured to press a composite material 1 in which a resin and fibers are compounded; a cooling water pipe 12 configured to adjust the temperature of the composite material 1; and a graphite sheet 13 provided between the pressing surface 11a and the composite material 1 and deformed by pressing force from the mold 11, the graphite sheet 13 having higher thermal conductivity in a direction along the pressing surface than in a direction intersecting the pressing surface. The graphite sheet 13 is provided between the entire surface of the pressing surface 11a and the composite material 1.

The invention relates to a thermally insulated conduit pipe, comprising at least one medium pipe, at least one thermal insulation arranged around the medium pipe, and at least one outer jacket arranged around the thermal insulation, wherein the outer jacket possibly comprises a barrier made of plastic, and wherein the thermal insulation comprises a foam, the cell gas of which contains at least 10 vol % HFOs. Such conduit pipe has good insulating behavior, good environmental balance, and is easily producible.

First, a composite preform 70 including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a in close contact with the outer surface of the preform 10a is made by preparing the preform 10a made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member 40a to surround the outer surface of the preform 10a. Subsequently, the composite preform 70 is heated and inserted in a blow molding die 50 and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die 50, by which the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a of the composite preform 70 are inflated integrally and a composite container 10A is obtained.

A multilayer thermal insulation panel for construction and manufacturing method thereof are described. The multilayer thermal insulation panel comprising: a main layer in thermally insulating material comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface; a first backing layer of the main layer connected to the main layer along the first surface; a second backing layer of the main layer connected to the main layer along the second surface. At least one of the first and second backing layers comprising: a reinforcement layer in fibrous material, a fire-resistant layer comprising expansive graphite, and a cladding layer made on the reinforcement layer and configured to be sandwiched between the fire-resistant layer and the reinforcement layer.

A fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include coarse glass fibers, glass microfibers, aerogel particles, and a binder. The coarse glass fibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 8 μm and about 20 μm. The glass microfibers may have an average fiber diameter between about 0.5 μm and about 3 μm. The glass microfibers may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers. The aerogel particles may be homogenously dispersed within the coarse glass fibers and the glass microfibers. The fiberglass reinforced aerogel composite may include between about 50 wt. % and about 75 wt. % of the aerogel particles. The binder bonds the coarse glass fibers, the glass microfibers, and the aerogel particles together.

A length of a main pipe is provided. The main pipe has an internal surface and an external surface. A plurality of channels, tubes or conduits is attached to the external surface of the main pipe and spaced about a circumference thereof. A spray foam insulation is applied to the external surface of the main pipe. Prior to curing the spray foam insulation, a compressive force is applied against an exposed outer surface of the spray foam insulation to prevent a bulge from forming over the channels, tubes or conduits so that the outer surface of the insulation has a uniform radius.

A method for manufacturing an insulation member for an appliance includes the steps of forming a porous bag with a woven fabric, filling the porous bag with insulation materials, heat sealing the porous bag, vibrating the porous bag to define a pillow, compressing the pillow within a mold to define a compressed insulation member, and evacuating the compressed insulation member within an insulated structure to define a vacuum insulated structure.

The invention relates to a thermally insulated conduit pipe, comprising at least one medium pipe, at least one thermal insulation arranged around the medium pipe, and at least one outer jacket arranged around the thermal insulation, wherein the outer jacket possibly comprises a barrier made of plastic, and wherein the thermal insulation comprises a foam, the cell gas of which contains at least 10 vol % HFOs. Such conduit pipe has good insulating behavior, good environmental balance, and is easily producible.
