Claims23
An insulation panel comprising a sealed evacuated film enclosure said film comprised of at least one layer of plastic and at least one layer of metal laminated together, said seal(s) being at points of plastic to plastic contact, said enclosure encasing adsorbent and a shaped article of compressed fiberglass having fiber diameters not exceeding ten microns, said fibers held together by binder to form a smoothened surface.
The use of an insulation panel comprising a sealed evacuated film enclosure said film comprised of at least one layer of plastic and at least one layer of metal laminated together, said seal(s) being at points of plastic to plastic contact, said enclosure encasing adsorbent and a shaped article of compressed fiberglass having fiber diameters not exceeding ten microns, said fibers held together by binder to form a smoothened surface to insulate cryogenic equipment wherein the panel is positioned adjacent the cryogenic equipment and the cold side of the panel adjacent said equipment is exposed to a dry gas.
