Method for the production of a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes and a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes. In one example a triple pane vacuum insulated glazing assembly is fused and the cavity is backfilled during cooling whereby the centre pane temperature may be lowered. This has the advantage of keeping the stresses below the failure boundaries and enabling faster production.

A high-strength translucent structures that can be used in industrial and civil construction serving as facade or window structures, as well as for filling gaps in ceilings or raised floors with translucent elements, in the structures of separate sections of both walls and zenith skylights of buildings in required spatial altitude. The translucent enclosing structure includes glass units wherein the sheets of glass are hermetically connected to each other and fixed relative to each other by an internal rigid strengthening profile and a spacer frame, and the glass units are additionally provided with an external strengthening profile of Π-shaped cross-section in the form of a pultruded profile made of glass-plastic. There has been created a sufficiently strong and, therefore, reliable, durable, and cheap translucent enclosing structure designed for use in industrial and civil buildings.

The invention relates to a roof or skylight window comprising a frame and an insulated glazing unit, where the insulated glazing unit comprises a first glass pane (10) and a second glass pane (20) each having inner surfaces (11, 21) opposing each other, and a side seal (4) arranged between the first glass pane (10) and the second glass pane (20) creating a sealed cavity (40) between the glass panes (10, 20). The first glass pane (10) comprises an edge surface region (14) overlapping the side seal (4) along at least a first part of the side seal (4), wherein the edge surface region (14) comprises an enamel layer (16) comprising pigments reflecting near infrared light.

An evacuated glazing assembly has first and second spaced-apart, non-metal substrates connected to each other by a seal element to form an evacuable interior space therebetween. The seal element is formed by bonding a metallic bridge element to at least one of the substrates by cold welding to form a first stage seal and forming a second stage seal at least partially in contact with the first stage seal. The seal element is configured to hermetically isolate the interior space from the surrounding environment, and both the first stage seal and the second stage seal contribute to the hermeticity of the seal element.

A light transmitting panel assembly includes a first panel, a second panel, a frame, a gap between the first panel and the second panel, and a first active component located between the first panel and the second panel.

A light transmitting panel assembly includes a first panel, a second panel, a frame, a gap between the first panel and the second panel, and a first active component located between the first panel and the second panel.

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a multi-pane glass unit. The apparatus includes: a first plate configured to hold a first glass pane; a second plate configured to hold a second glass pane such that the second glass pane faces the first glass pane; and a conveyer including a first portion configured to convey the first glass pane onto the first plate and a second portion configured to convey the second glass onto the second plate.

The present invention provides a panel assembly, a refrigerator, and home appliances. The panel assembly of the present invention comprises: a first panel formed of a glass material; a second panel spaced apart from the first panel and formed of a glass material; a plurality of spacers provided between the first panel and the second panel so as to maintain a gap between the first panel and the second panel, and arranged to be spaced apart from each other; a sealing member disposed between the first panel and the second panel for sealing a space between the first panel and the second panel; an exhaust hole provided in at least one of the first panel and the second panel so as to discharge air such that the space between the first panel and the second panel becomes a vacuum insulation space; and a cover member covering the exhaust hole.

A laminated vacuum insulating assembly extending along a plane, P, defined by a longitudinal axis, X, and a vertical axis, Z, including: a first glass pane with thickness Z1, an inner pane face and an outer pane face and a second glass pane with thickness, Z2, an inner pane face and an outer pane face; wherein the thicknesses are measured in the direction normal to the plane, with a set of discrete spacers positioned between the first and second glass panes, a hermetically bonding seal sealing the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter thereof; and an internal volume, V, defined by the first and second glass panes and the set of discrete spacers and closed by the hermetically bonding seal and where there is an absolute vacuum of pressure of less than 0.1 mbar; and where the inner pane faces face the internal volume, V.

A insulated glazing unit is disclosed. The insulated glazing unit can include a first panel, a second panel, an electrochromic device coupled to the first panel, an electronics module coupled to the second panel, and a photovoltaic module coupled to the electronics module, the electrochromic device, and the first panel. In one embodiment, the first panel has a first length and the second panel has a second length, where the second length is less than the first length.
