MULTI-LAYER ENCAPSULATION SYSTEM FOR JOINT SEALING OF VACUUM INSULATED CABINETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044352 titled 'MULTI-LAYER ENCAPSULATION SYSTEM FOR JOINT SEALING OF VACUUM INSULATED CABINETS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an appliance that has an outer wrapper, an inner liner, a trim breaker, and a composite encapsulation system. The encapsulation system hermetically seals an insulating cavity between the outer wrapper and the inner liner. The composite encapsulation system consists of a base adhesive and an outer adhesive, where the base adhesive provides structural adhesive properties and the outer adhesive provides sealing adhesive properties.

  • The appliance includes an outer wrapper, inner liner, trim breaker, and encapsulation system.
  • The encapsulation system seals the insulating cavity between the outer wrapper and inner liner.
  • The encapsulation system consists of a base adhesive and an outer adhesive.
  • The base adhesive provides structural adhesive properties.
  • The outer adhesive provides sealing adhesive properties.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Appliances that require insulation, such as refrigerators, ovens, or water heaters.
  • Electronic devices that need thermal insulation, such as computers or smartphones.
  • Construction materials that require insulation, such as wall panels or roofing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a hermetic seal to prevent air or moisture from entering the insulating cavity.
  • Enhances the structural integrity of the appliance or construction material.
  • Improves thermal insulation properties, reducing energy consumption.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved energy efficiency due to enhanced insulation.
  • Increased durability and longevity of appliances or construction materials.
  • Prevention of air or moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of damage or malfunction.


Original Abstract Submitted

an appliance includes an outer wrapper, an inner liner, a trim breaker having a channel that receives at least one of a wrapper edge of the outer wrapper and a liner edge of the inner liner, and a composite encapsulation system that hermetically seals an insulating cavity defined between the outer wrapper and the inner liner. the composite encapsulation system includes a base adhesive and an outer adhesive, wherein the base adhesive defines a structural adhesive component and the outer adhesive defines a sealing adhesive component.
