Summary

By applying sufficient vacuum to an insulating material, thermal conduction is reduced and the thickness of the insulating wall can be reduced considerably. When applied to panels, this problem poses a problem in terms of the materials used and the filler, as well as the duration of the vacuum. The author describes the various difficulties encountered and the first applications, including use by the NASA in space shuttles.
