Vacuum thermal insulating material and thermal insulating box including the same
There are provided a vacuum thermal insulating material that is excellent in terms of a handling property, a thermal insulating property, creep resistance, and productivity; and a thermal insulating box including the vacuum thermal insulating material. A core material was enclosed and sealed in a wrapping material with a gas barrier property. The core material of the vacuum thermal insulating material in which the interior of the wrapping material is in a decompression state, is constituted by one organic fibrous assembly having continuous organic fibers formed sheet-shaped or a stack of the organic fibrous assemblies.
1. A vacuum thermal insulating material that has a core material enclosed and sealed in a wrapping material having a gas barrier property, whose interior is made to be a decompression state, wherein
the core material is constituted by one sheet of organic fibrous assembly having organic fibers formed sheet-shaped or a stack of the organic fibrous assemblies and oriented in a direction perpendicular to a thermal conduction direction
wherein the core material containing the organic fibrous assembly has an areal weight between 98 g/m 2 and 199 g/m 2 .
2. A thermal insulating box comprising an outer box and an inner box disposed in the outer box, wherein the vacuum thermal insulating material according to claim 1 is disposed in a gap formed between the outer box and the inner box.
3. The thermal insulating box according to claim 2 , wherein a non-electrically conductive spacer is installed between the outer box and the vacuum thermal insulating material.
4. The thermal insulating box according to claim 2 , wherein a thermal insulating material fills one or both of a gap between the outer box and the vacuum thermal insulating material and a gap between the vacuum thermal insulating material and the inner box.
