Vacuum insulation body
A vacuum insulation body includes at least one vacuum-tight casing and at least one vacuum region surrounded by the casing. The casing is provided with at least one opening, in particular with at least one evacuation port, for evacuating the vacuum region. At least one adsorbent material is present in the vacuum insulation body. The adsorbent material is partly or completely arranged in the region of the opening.
1. A vacuum insulation body comprising:
at least one vacuum-tight casing, with at least one vacuum region surrounded by the casing, and
at least one flow distributor, wherein
the casing is provided with at least one opening forming an evacuation port for evacuating the vacuum region, and the vacuum insulation body incorporates an adsorbent material and a core material, wherein
the adsorbent material is formed from at least one dryer and/or a getter, wherein
the adsorbent material is located directly before the evacuation port as well as in regions directly adjacent to the evacuation port, wherein
the at least one flow distributor serves to increase an effective evacuation cross-section, and the flow distributor is formed by an adsorbent material, wherein, during evacuation, said flow distributor is arranged in a flow direction before the evacuation port, and wherein
the flow distributor is formed as a pebble bed, which is located in a receptacle permeable to gas, wherein
the adsorbent material is arranged such that gas passing through the opening passes through the adsorbent material during vacuum generation.
2. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the flow distributor includes a plurality of individual bodies.
3. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 2 , wherein the individual bodies are individual spheres.
4. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 2 , wherein the individual bodies are included in a pebble bed.
5. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one heating device provided therewith or connected thereto.
6. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 5 , wherein the heating device is located outside the casing.
7. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the adsorbent material is arranged such that it surrounds the opening.
8. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the heating device is arranged such that the entire vacuum insulation body can be heated by the heating device.
9. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the adsorbent material is formed to adsorb at least one of water, nitrogen, and oxygen.
10. A refrigerator and/or freezer appliance comprising:
at least one body with at least one cooled interior space surrounded by the body, and
at least one closure element by which the cooled interior space can be closed,
wherein, between the cooled interior space and an outer wall of the appliance, at least one interspace is located, and
wherein at least one vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 is arranged in the interspace.
11. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the flow distributor is arranged such that it surrounds the opening.
12. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the flow distributor is arranged such that gas passing through the opening passes through the flow distributor during vacuum generation.
13. A refrigerator and/or freezer appliance comprising:
at least one body with at least one cooled interior space surrounded by the body, and
at least one closure element by which the cooled interior space can be closed,
wherein, between the cooled interior space and an outer wall of the appliance, at least one interspace is located, and
wherein at least one vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 is arranged in the interspace.
14. The vacuum insulation body according to claim 1 , wherein the flow distributor is adsorbent material arranged in a region adjacent to the opening.
