Abstract
A thermal insulation structure for liquid enclosures (4) is provided. The thermal insulation structure improves the liquid enclosure's thermal insulation thereby requiring less work by external components to maintain the temperature within the liquid enclosure (4). The thermal insulation structure includes a cover (10) and/or a plug (3). Both the cover (10) and the plug (3) each include a plurality of layers, which contribute to their insulating properties.
Claims20
An insulation structure configured for use with a liquid enclosure, the insulation structure comprising:
- a cover including an inner coating that faces the liquid enclosure and an outer coating that faces the ambient environment;
- the inner coating including a thermal insulation layer comprising at least one insulating material;
- and
- the outer coating including a reflective layer adjacent to the inner coating.
An insulation structure configured for use with a liquid enclosure having a side wall coupled to a bottom wall to define a cavity that receives a liquid, the insulation structure comprising:
- a plug sized for receipt in the cavity of the liquid enclosure, the plug including:
- a first insulation layer;
- a second insulation layer;
- a third insulation layer positioned between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer, wherein the third insulation layer is an inflatable air chamber.
An insulation system configured for use with a liquid enclosure having a sidewall coupled to a bottom panel to define a cavity configured to contain a liquid, the insulation system comprising:
- a cover including an inner coating that faces the liquid enclosure and an outer coating that faces the ambient environment;
- the inner coating including a thermal insulation layer comprising at least one insulating material;
- and
- the outer coating including a reflective layer adjacent to the inner coating;
- a plug coupled to the liquid enclosure and positioned intermediate the cover and the cavity, the plug further including:
- a first insulation layer;
- a second insulation layer;
- a third insulation layer positioned between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer.
