Vacuum Insulation Panel, Insulated Masonry Structure Comprising Same, And Method Of Construction

a technology of vacuum insulation and masonry structure, applied in the field of vacuum insulation panels, can solve the problems of inability to meet the newly mandated insulative properties of the home, the limitation of the amount of thermal resistance possible from the constrained thickness wall, and the traditional insulator, so as to reduce the vacuum level, improve the control of water vapor, and reduce the specific surface area

Benefits of technology

In this patented method, there is described an improved way to prevent moisture from entering into electronic devices by adding special layers on their panels. These layers help trap any tiny droplets of liquid condensation that can harm certain parts inside them. By doing this, these methods aim to maintain better performance and reliability of electronic components.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text relates to improving the durability and reliability of traditional vacuum insulation systems used in building interiors. Traditional methods like welding or filling holes in the building envelope are slow and difficult to install. To address this issue, the inventors proposed the use of thin films called vacuum insulation (VIPs) instead of solid insulation. Vacuum insulation is highly porous and allows atmospheric gases to pass through without being absorbed or leaked outside. Additionally, the patent proposes the use of low cost insultants to improve the efficiency of the vacuum insulation system.

Embodiment Construction

[0069]The present invention is described in terms of a vacuum insulation panel which is particularly suitable for use in the construction industry. This insulation panel can be formed in any shape although for illustration purposes panel 10 is shown rectangular in shape. As illustrated in FIG. 1A, an insulation panel shown generally at 10 produced according to the present invention has a core 12 comprised of multiple stacked layers of non-woven organic free fiberglass sheets or plies 14. In a preferred embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, vacuum insulation panel 10 is formed from two stainless steel foil sections, viz. a first pan-shaped section 16 having rounded corners 18, and a second pan of equal or shallower depth or a flat section 20 formed from a rolled sheet of the same stainless steel foil as pan section 16. The joint 22 at the edge of enclosure 10 is preferably sealed by resistance seam welding.

[0070]Although conventional stamping can be used to form pan 16, in a preferred

Abstract

A vacuum insulation panel is provided comprising a core with a plurality of stacked non-woven organic free glass fiber sheets, plies, or net shape one piece glass fiber core and a vacuum sealed enclosure containing the core. The fiberglass sheets are formed from glass fibers having a nominal diameter of about 1.5-3.0 microns and the enclosure is formed from an annealed stainless steel foil. The vacuum insulation panel has a thickness of from about 1 to 2.5 inches and an insulation value R of at least 56.8 at moderate vacuum levels between about 1.0E−02 to 1.0E+01 mTorr. In addition, a method of manufacturing same is provided, as well as a method of construction, wherein the vacuum insulation panel is disposed between two walls in the gap therebetween, and preferably a filler material, such as aerated concrete, fiberglass, foam, etc., is disposed in the gap so as to partially or fully encase the vacuum insulation panel.
