Methods of making thermal insulation products that may be usable to provide insulation in high temperature applications. One method includes sealing a support material (e.g., a nanoporous core such as fumed silica, an aerogel powder, etc.) and at least one vapor within an interior portion of a substantially gas-impermeable envelope (e.g., a metallic and/or polymeric film), and then condensing at least a portion of the vapor after the sealing step to reduce the pressure within the gas-impermeable envelope from a first pressure before the condensing to a lower second pressure after the condensing. The disclosed methods limit or eliminate the need for pumping mechanisms to draw the vacuum within the products, drying of the core before the sealing, and the like.

The present invention relates to an insulation used in home appliances and building materials. A method of manufacturing an insulation includes fabricating an adhesive solution by inputting a binder to water contained in a water tank, inputting long glass fibers to the adhesive solution, removing moisture by supplying the long glass fibers to a mesh belt, wherein the mesh belt move left and right and front and rear so that the long glass fibers are uniformly spread, fabricating glass fiber paper by drying the long glass fibers, winding the glass fiber paper in a roll form, and preparing the glass fiber paper rolls in multiple layers, stacking two or more sheets of the glass fiber paper supplied from the rolls, and sewing the sheets of stacked glass fiber paper.

An insulation device comprising a first plurality of vacuum-insulated capsules connected along a first plane, where each vacuum-insulated capsule within said first plurality has a common first geometric shape extending from the first plane and a second plurality of vacuum-insulated capsules connected along a second plane, where each vacuum-insulated capsule within said second plurality has a common second geometric shape extending from the second plane, where said first and said second geometric shapes are complementary, and where said first plurality of vacuum-insulated capsules are intermeshed within said second plurality of vacuum-insulated capsules to form the insulation device.

It is an object of the invention to provide a heat-resistant vacuum insulation panel having two heat-resistant protective layers to improve fire protection, in particular at locations of the vacuum insulation panel subject to mechanical stress.

An insulated structure comprises a first panel and a second panel coupled to the first panel. The first and second panels define an insulating cavity therebetween. A port is defined by the second panel. The port is an opening into the insulating cavity. A connector is coupled to the second panel. A tube is coupled to the connector and extends parallel along the second panel.

Provided are a core material for a vacuum insulation panel including porous aluminosilicate, and a vacuum insulation panel provided with the same. The core material for the vacuum insulation panel according to the present disclosure has superior long-term durability and improved gas adsorption ability (particularly, superior water absorption ability) while requiring a low raw material cost. The vacuum insulation panel including the core material may exhibit more improved insulation performance by minimizing a reduction in the vacuum degree without an additional getter or absorbent.

The invention concerns a vacuum insulation element in which a core in a vacuum-tight enclosure is evacuated, as well as vacuum insulated packaging and a vacuum insulated case, wherein the core is composed of one or more elements that have a shape-giving structure, which forms an insulation volume, which is evacuated in the enclosure. Where appropriate, a single step can also include vacuum-sealing the contents in the effective volume.

The panel unit includes a first panel, a second panel facing the first panel with a space provided therebetween the first panel and the second panel, a partition separating the space from a surrounding space, and a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is located in the space for allowing a change in thermal conductivity between the first panel and the second panel. The switching mechanism includes at least one connector which is thermally conductive, and is switchable between a first state in which the at least one connector is out of contact with the first panel or the second panel and a second state in which the at least one connector is in contact with both the first panel and the second panel.

A low-cost high-performance Vacuum Insulated Glass is produced with three glass panes and bonding fiber mesh structures embedded between the glass panes. Each mesh structure is configured with elongated bonding fiber elements arranged in a grid configuration. The bonding fiber elements are formed with a fiber core covered with a low melting temperature material. The low melting temperature material melts upon heating and creates numerous vacuum sealed cells between the glass panes. The fiber core does not melt, and remains intact bonded to the glass panes, thus creating a support mechanism for supporting the glass panes at a spaced apart relationship.

An energy efficient film comprising of first and second substrate layers and microstructures positioned between the first and second substrates is provided. The microstructures are positioned between the first and second structures such that a vacuum environment is created between the first and second substrates. In one embodiment, the insulating film includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a plurality of microstructures positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, such that a vacuum environment is created between the first and second substrates and within each microstructure cell, individually. Preferably, the plurality of microstructures is a polygonal cellular network positioned between a first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate. A gasket may be provided on one or both of the first or second substrates. The gasket may also be provided on outer edges of the first and/or the second substrate.
