    摘要: A heat insulation pipe includes an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The inner pipe includes a pair of inner pipe members spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the inner pipe, a first bellows disposed between the pair of inner pipe members, and a restriction mechanism for restricting expansion and contraction of the inner pipe in the axial direction to a predetermined range. The restriction mechanism is slidable with respect to at least one of a pair of bulging portions. The outer pipe includes a pair of outer pipe members each including a second bellows, and a second cylindrical portion housing the first bellows and the restriction mechanism.

    摘要: A method for forming a super-insulating material for a vacuum insulated structure includes disposing glass spheres within a rotating drum. A plurality of interstitial spaces are defined between the glass spheres. A binder material is disposed within the rotating drum. The glass spheres and the at least one binder material are rotated within the rotating drum, wherein the binder material is mixed during a first mixing stage with the glass spheres. A first insulating material is disposed within the rotating drum. The binder material, the first insulating material and the glass spheres are mixed to define an insulating base. A second insulating material is disposed within the rotating drum. The secondary insulating material is mixed with the insulating base to define a homogenous form of the super-insulating material, wherein the first and second insulating materials occupy substantially all of the interstitial spaces.

    摘要: A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a first space, a second plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a second space having a temperature different from that of the first space, and a support configured to maintain the third space. The support includes a coupling mechanism by which a first support plate and a second support plate are coupled to each other and integrated with each other and a seating mechanism configured to maintain a gap between the first support plate and the second support plate at points at which the first support plate and the second support plate contact each other. The seating mechanisms are spaced apart from the coupling mechanism.

    摘要: A transfer line that includes a process line for transporting a cryogenic fluid, to a motor vehicle, a motor vehicle having such a transfer line, and a computer-implemented method for determining the tightness of the sheath of such a transfer line. The transfer line includes a process line for transporting a cryogenic fluid, a sheath arranged to surround the process line to define an insulation space between the process line and the sheath, one or more temperature sensors arranged on an outer surface of the sheath to detect a current temperature of the sheath; and a control unit operatively connected to the one or more temperature sensors. The control unit has one or more processors and a non-transitory memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors including a set of instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the control unit to determine, in response to receipt of a signal from the one or more temperature sensors that corresponds to the detected current temperature of the sheath, a tightness of the sheath relative to the process line.

    摘要: A method of forming a vacuum insulated structure includes providing a structural envelope an insulating cavity defined within the structural envelope. An expanding device is attached to opposing outer walls of the structural envelope and the interior cavity is expanded by pulling the opposing outer walls away from one another to define an expanded state. An insulating material is disposed within the insulating cavity to occupy substantially all of the insulating cavity in the expanded state. Gas is expressed from the insulating cavity to collapse the structural envelope to a final state and a final interior volume that is less than the expanded interior volume. The final state of the structural envelope defines a densified state of the insulating material within the insulating cavity. The vacuum port is then closed to hermetically seal the insulating cavity.
