Abstract

The panel 1 is formed from a single structure enclosing a vacuum in void 2 without any additional components or structures in addition to the single structure to resist internal negative pressure. The panel may be made from polyethylene or similar synthetic material which can be used to create a hollow core. The panel may be moulded and have strengthening ribs 3 which are integral to the structure and may be internal or external to the panel.

Description

Title: Vacuum insulation panel
Background
This invention relates to an insulated panel system.
Most buildings require thermal insulation incorporated into their structure for energy efficiency, practicality and compliance with regulations.
The most commonly used systems rely on materials which trap air in order to reduce heat transfer by convection and conduction.
In order to increase the resistance to heat transfer of these systems it is necessary to increase the thickness of the insulation. This is cost prohibitive, can adversely affect the design of the building and required the use of additional materials resources.
Statement of invention
To provide an alternative method of thermal insulation this invention utilises a vacuum contained within a defined structure. Heat cannot pass through a vacuum by means of conduction or convection. Other vacuum insulation panels exist. However these are either composite items with an enclosing structure surrounding an internal core, or have internal components to resist the negative pressure within. These additional components increase the complexity of the panels and in the case of those with a core sealed within an enclosing bag, the bag is vulnerable to damage and puncturing rendering the panel inoperable.
Advantages > The invention will provide thermal insulation which for a given thickness will provide greatly enhanced thermal resistance when compared to traditional materials and systems > The invention will allow a reduced thickness of insulating panel to be utilised to achieve the same or better thermal resistance than traditional materials and systems > The invention will be a single component item as opposed to a composite of several materials or parts. The external envelope which surrounds the vacuum is structured to resist the negative pressure within it, without requiring any infill material or separate structures.
> Due to the reduced thickness of insulation required more area of insulation can be transported on a single vehicle giving economic and environmental advantages Preferably the invention will largely utilise materials which are recycled > Preferably the invention will be more robust than traditional materials and will be more resistant to puncturing ) Preferably the invention will be manufactured in a range of sizes which co-ordinate with standard masonry components and larger and bespoke sizes > Preferably the invention will be resistant to water, rot, fungal and vermin attack Preferably the material will not contain any materials which are hazardous, or irritating to personnel handling and installing the panels Preferably the invention will also provide high levels of resistance to the transmission of sound through it due to the vacuum within > The invention can be easily combined with other known technologies such as foil facings
Detailed description
A moulded one piece structure is formed to provide a rigid hollow enclosure (1). This has coordinating dimensions in line with (but not limited to) standard building masonry elements. The void (2) within the rigid hollow enclosure (1) is a vacuum The moulded one piece structure is formed to resist the internal negative pressure without requiring any separate internal structures or materials. This is achieved through a combination of the material selected, the finished cross section and its surface profile.
Strengthening ribs (3) are integral to the moulding and can be internal or external to the main envelope.
Drawings An example of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 shows an elevation of the invention Figure 2 shows an end view of the invention Figure 3 shows an isometric view of the invention Figure 4 shows a plan section of the invention Figure 5 shows an enlarged plan section of the invention showing internal ribs
