Heat transport by residual gases in multilayer vacuum insulation

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation of residual gas heat-transfer in multilayer vacuum insulation are reported. The “thermal paradox” observed when the cold-wall temperature changes from 77 to 20.4° K is explained. Graphs of the variation of the residual gas pressure in the insulation layers are given and the components of the total heat fluxradiative and residual gas-are determined.
