URETHANE AND REFRIGERATOR COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18208386 titled 'URETHANE AND REFRIGERATOR COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discloses a urethane material that has improved thermal insulation performance by reducing its thermal conductivity. The urethane consists of closed cells containing inside gas, open cells connected to outside air, and cell walls that connect the closed cells with the open cells or with other closed cells. The diameters of the closed cells and open cells are in the range of 100 to 200 μm.
- The urethane material has improved thermal insulation performance.
- It achieves this by reducing the thermal conductivity of the material.
- The material contains closed cells with inside gas and open cells connected to outside air.
- Cell walls connect the closed cells with the open cells or with other closed cells.
- The diameters of the closed cells and open cells are between 100 and 200 μm.
Potential Applications
- Refrigerators
- Insulation for buildings
- Thermal packaging for sensitive products
Problems Solved
- Improved thermal insulation performance
- Reduced thermal conductivity
Benefits
- Increased energy efficiency
- Better temperature control
- Enhanced product protection
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are a urethane having improved thermal insulation performance by lowering thermal conductivity of the urethane and a refrigerator comprising the same. The urethane may comprise: a plurality of closed cells containing inside gas; a plurality of open cells connected to outside air; and cell walls disposed between at least one of the plurality of closed cells and at least one of the plurality of open cells or between the plurality of closed cells to connect the at least one of the plurality of closed cells with the at least one of the plurality of open cells or to connect the plurality of closed cells. Diameters of a closed cell of the plurality of closed cells and an open cell of the plurality of open cells may be about 100 to 200 μm.
