Often referred to as vacuum insulated connections, are a type of connection used in various applications to maintain a controlled environment or prevent heat transfer between two components while minimizing heat exchange with the surrounding environment. These connections are commonly used in scientific, industrial, and technical settings where maintaining specific conditions, such as temperature, pressure, or vacuum, is crucial.
The basic principle behind vacuum jacketed connections involves creating a double-walled structure where the space between the inner and outer walls is evacuated to create a vacuum. This vacuum acts as an insulating layer that significantly reduces heat transfer through conduction and convection, as there are no molecules present to transmit heat. This results in improved thermal insulation and minimizes the loss or gain of heat from the connected components.
Vacuum jacketed connections are typically constructed using materials that have low thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel or other metals, and the space between the inner and outer walls is maintained at a high level of vacuum to achieve optimal insulation performance. Proper design and construction of these connections are crucial to ensure effective insulation and long-term reliability of the system they are a part of.
