Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1477752A2] A rectangular double walled cryogenic freezer (10,110) has a vacuum space (16,116) filled with alternating layers of flexible insulating material (20,120) and a reflective material (18,118). A support structure (22,122) is also positioned in the vacuum space (16,116). The support structure (22,122) is open-celled and provides structural support for the freezer walls to prevent wall deformation when a vacuum is drawn. The support structure (22,122) may be open-cell rigid foam (122) or a support grid (22) sandwiched between two layers of rigid insulation material (26a,26b). <IMAGE>
