INSULATION MATERIALS FOR A VACUUM INSULATED STRUCTURE AND METHODS OF FORMING

A method (100) and system (200) for forming an insulation package (46, 46a-46i) for use in a vacuum insulated structure (10, 10a, 10b) is provided. A slurry (220) containing a liquid and an insulation material (48) is formed. The slurry (220) can be supplied to an envelope (49) under vacuum, wherein...

Zusammenfassung:A method (100) and system (200) for forming an insulation package (46, 46a-46i) for use in a vacuum insulated structure (10, 10a, 10b) is provided. A slurry (220) containing a liquid and an insulation material (48) is formed. The slurry (220) can be supplied to an envelope (49) under vacuum, wherein the envelope (49) is gas-permeable and permeable to the liquid. At least a portion of the liquid is drawn through the envelope (49) and at least a portion of the insulation material (48) is retained within the envelope (49) to form the insulation package (46, 46a-46i). One or more insulation packages (46, 46a-46i) can be disposed within an insulating cavity (40, 56, 64) and the insulating cavity (40, 56, 64) can be evacuated to decrease a pressure therein to form the vacuum insulated structure (10, 10a, 10b).
