Abstract

984,095. Vacuum-jacket vessels. BRITISH OXYGEN CO. Ltd. Feb. 13, 1964 [Feb. 14, 1963], No. 5961/63. Heading F4P. The elongated tubular neck 11 of a vacuuminsulated Dewar vessel for the storage of liquefied gases is provided with a coaxial inner tube 18 separated therefrom by corrugated sheet material 15, the crests of the corrugations on opposite faces of the sheet material being secured by e.g. brazing to the inner wall of the neck and the outer wall of the inner tube. The sheet material 19 is preferably stainless steel or copper in the form of one or more corrugated ribbons wound helically about the inner tube with adjacent turns slightly spaced apart and with the corrugations arranged parallel to the axis of the inner tube. The vessel is suspended by its neck within an outer vacuum vessel 12 provided with a removable cover 17 having a plurality of apertures 22 in alignment with the annular space between the inner tube 18 and the neck 11.
