Abstract:
A heat-insulating box (1) according to the present invention includes: an outer casing (2); an inner casing (3) accommodated in the outer casing, such that heat insulating space is formed between the inner casing and an inner surface of the outer casing; a plurality of vacuum insulation panels (10) arranged in the heat insulating space; and a foam insulating material (4) which fills space in the heat insulating space other than the plurality of vacuum insulation panels. Each of the plurality of vacuum insulation panels includes at least a core material and a moisture adsorbent, and the core material and the moisture adsorbent are decompression-sealed in space covered by an outer skin material. Among the plurality of vacuum insulation panels, at least a vacuum insulation panel having a largest area includes a gas adsorbing device in addition to the core material and the moisture adsorbent, the gas adsorbing device having nitrogen adsorbing capability and moisture adsorbing capability, and the core material, the moisture adsorbent, and the gas adsorbing device are decompression-sealed in the space covered by the outer skin material.
Abstract:
A jacket material into which a gas adsorbing device and core material are inserted is decompressed in a vacuum chamber, the opening is sealed, and then the jacket material is exposed to the atmosphere. In the atmospheric pressure, a pressure of about 1 atm which is equivalent to the pressure difference between the inside and outside is applied to the jacket material of the heat insulator. The jacket material is made of a plastic laminated film and is deformed by pressure. A protruding portion is plunged into a container to drill through holes, and a gas adsorbent in the container communicates with the inside of the jacket material. Thus, both during holding and in applying to the vacuum heat insulator, the gas adsorbent can be applied to the vacuum heat insulator without degradation, and the high degree of vacuum can be kept for a long time.

Abstract:
A gas adsorbing device (5a) according to the present invention includes a gas adsorbing material (9) that adsorbs at least nitrogen and a housing container (11) that has a long, thin, flat, tubular shape and is made of metal and in which both sides of a housing portion (10) configured to house the gas adsorbing material (9) under reduced pressure are sealed. A contact portion (13) where opposing inner surfaces of the housing container (11) are in close contact with each other is located between at least one of seal portions (12a and 12b) of the housing container (11) and the housing portion (10).
Abstract:
A gas-adsorbing member is charged in low gas-permeable container (7) through its opening portion, wherein low gas-permeable container (7) is constituted by a hollow cylindrical metal member which is opened at its one end and is sealed at its other end and, also, has body portion (9) extending from the one end to the other end thereof such that the length of the body portion is equal to or larger than the maximum width of the end portions. Then, a sealing member is installed within the opening portion and near the opening portion. Then, the sealing member is molten by being heated. Thereafter, the sealing member within the opening portion is cooled to be solidified, thereby attaining sealing of the opening portion. Thus, it is possible to provide a gas-adsorbing-device fabricating method capable of suppressing degradations of the gas-adsorbing member and capable of reducing the fabrication costs.

Abstract:
A vacuum heat insulation material has a covering material which is a lamination body including a sealant layer, a metal foil layer, a first plastic film layer, and a second plastic film layer which are laminated in this order from inside to outside via adhesive layers. When a foreign body is pierced into the vacuum heat insulation material, the propagation of breakage caused by the piercing is blocked somewhere inside the lamination body, thereby preventing the formation of through-pinholes. This results in the provision of a high-quality vacuum heat insulation material with excellent long-term insulation performance by using a covering material excellent in gas barrier properties and pinhole resistance to the piercing of minute foreign bodies.

Abstract:
Includes gas adsorption device (1) in which gas adsorbent (3) is decompression-sealed by first package (4) with poor gas permeability, and second package (2) with poor gas permeability. Second package (2) is at least partially flexible. Air that is a gas that gas adsorbent (3) can adsorb is filled between gas adsorption device (1) and second package (2). In this configuration, gas adsorbent (3) adsorbs air when first package (4) is damaged, and thus a pressure inside second package (2) reduces. Due to this pressure reduction, the shape or dimension of second package (2) changes. Any damage to first package (4), i.e., any degradation in adsorption capacity of gas adsorption device (1), can thus be determined by confirming this change.
