Original Abstract Submitted
a monolithic metal thermal insulating sleeve liner for fluid flow devices such as valves and piping used in severe industrial applications is additively manufactured (e.g., by 3d printing) to fit the bore of a protected fluid flow device. tessellated support structures obliquely extending between inside surfaces of inner and outer shells provide increased resistance to thermal conduction while also providing increased strength against compression forces. example support structures include an array of four obliquely oriented elongated members mutually intersecting mid-way between the inside surfaces of inner and outer cylindrical shells. a ceramic coating may be applied an inner surface of the sleeve or to the inner surface of the to improve thermal insulation.
