Abstract: A drainage assembly for an insulated structure includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures and defines an opening and notches that extend radially from the opening. A first drainage tube extends through the opening and includes receiving flanges disposed within the notches defined by the flexible body. A second drainage tube is in fluid communication with the first drainage tube. The second drainage tube includes engagement flanges disposed within the receiving flanges of the first drainage tube.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an insulation member for a vacuum insulated structure includes the steps of forming a bag that has an opening using a single layer porous fabric, filling the bag with insulation materials via the opening, sealing the opening of the bag, and vibrating the bag to evenly distribute, de-aerate, and densify the insulation material to form a pillow. The method further includes the steps of compressing the pillow within a mold to define a compressed insulation member, and evacuating the compressed insulation member within an insulated structure to define a vacuum insulated structure.

Abstract: A door assembly includes a structural wrapper defining an insulating cavity. The structural wrapper defines a sensor port. A sensor assembly is coupled to an outer surface of the structural wrapper proximate to the sensor port. The sensor assembly includes a connector having a base coupled to a housing. The base is coupled to the structural wrapper. The connector defines an interior in fluid communication with the insulating cavity. A pressure sensor is disposed within the housing. The pressure sensor is configured to sense a pressure within the insulating cavity. At least one plate is disposed at an open end of the housing. The pressure sensor includes sensor pins that extend through the at least one plate.

Abstract: An insulated structure includes a wrapper that defines a first aperture. A liner defines a second aperture and is coupled to the wrapper. A negative pressure is maintained between the wrapper and the liner. A drainage assembly extends between the liner and the wrapper and is disposed within the first aperture and the second aperture. The drainage assembly includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures, first and second surfaces, and an opening that is defined between the first and second surfaces. The flexible body has at least one notch that is defined on the first surface that extends from a portion of the opening. A drainage tube extends through the opening that is defined by the flexible body and is operably coupled to the flexible body. The drainage tube includes at least one flange disposed within the at least one notch of the flexible body.
