Abstract
A vacuum insulation panel, comprising a thermally insulating plate with an planar topside and underside and a narrow side in an enclosure comprising a metal-containing film (foil), with a subatmospheric pressure prevailing in the enclosure and the enclosure surrounding the thermally insulating plate in a vacuum-tight manner. The enclosure has, on the narrow side, a weld seam with a projecting section of the foil. The narrow sides of the plate are beveled and the vacuum insulation panel is in the form of a parallelepiped. The weld seam with the projecting section of foil is arranged in such a manner that it allows the vacuum insulation panels to be assembled without gaps to form an insulating enclosure.
Claims6
A vacuum insulation panel, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a metal-containing film, wherein a subatmospheric pressure prevails in the enclosure;
- a thermally insulating plate with an planar topside and underside and four beveled narrow sides, said plate being disposed in said enclosure and being surrounded by the enclosure in a vacuum tight manner;
- wherein the enclosure has a weld seam on the narrow sides of the plate, said seam having a projecting section of the foil, and wherein said vacuum insulation panel is in the form of a parallelepiped and the weld seam with the projecting section of foil is arranged so that the weld seam allows the vacuum insulation panels to be assembled without gaps to form an insulating enclosure, and
- wherein the weld seam is located at two different planes, one half portion above and one half portion below a center of the narrow sides of the thermally insulating plate.
A container or planar application comprising vacuum insulation panels that have been joined together without gaps, each of said vacuum insulation panels comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a metal-containing film, wherein a subatmospheric pressure prevails in the enclosure;
- a thermally insulating plate with an planar topside and underside and four beveled narrow sides, said plate being disposed in said enclosure and being surrounded by the enclosure in a vacuum tight manner;
- wherein the enclosure has a weld seam on the narrow sides of the plate, said seam having a projecting section of the foil, and wherein said vacuum insulation panel is in the form of a parallelepiped, and wherein the weld seam is located at two different planes, one half portion above and one half portion below a center of the narrow side of the thermally insulating plate.
