Liquid Nitrogen Pipe Insulation (Video)
This video demonstrates the thermal performance of a ½ inch diameter, 6-inch long Insulon® vacuum insulated tube. The Insulon tube is compared to a double-walled, air-insulated tube and a single-walled, non-insulated tube. … Read more
Thin, High Performance Insulation
Working with sensors in high temperature environments can pose a variety of challenges. High-performance thermal insulation can allow sensors and other delicate instruments to operate in higher temperature environments for … Read more
The best thermal management toolkits include this technology
Thermal management is often discussed in terms of electronic devices, which generate excess heat. Overheating can damage electronics, which means this heat needs to be dissipated. Thermal management systems use … Read more
Is vacuum insulation effective at high temperatures?
Cryogenic vacuum insulation For years, cryogenic systems have benefitted enormously from vacuum insulation. According to NASA, “Cryogenic thermal insulation systems that incorporate a vacuum environment can provide the lowest possible heat transfer.” But … Read more
High Thermal Shock Resistance: Vacuum Insulation Demo
What is thermal shock? Thermal shock occurs when materials are rapidly exposed to extreme temperatures. Severe and/or repeated exposure to sudden changes in temperature can lead to degradations in material … Read more
