  • Patent number: 7823394
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to insulate a vessel includes placing a plurality of shells on all sides of the vessel without providing a direct energy pathway from outer walls of the vessel to the inner walls of the vessel; placing the shells under a vacuum; cryogenically cooling the shells to a cryogenic temperature; and while under vacuum, allowing the shell temperature to rise from the cryogenic temperature to ambient temperature.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 2, 2010
    Assignee: Reflect Scientific, Inc.
    Inventors: John Dain, Boyd Bowdish, Nick Henneman
  • Publication number: 20100129588
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to insulate a panel by providing a core material disposed in the panel; and providing a vacuum region in the panel by removing air from the panel.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 12, 2009
    Publication date: May 27, 2010
    Inventors: John Dain, Boyd Bowdish, Nick Henneman
  • Publication number: 20100024440
    Abstract: A system provides the flow control of a cryogenic element to remove heat from an environment. The system includes a cryogenic storage to store a cryogen; a cryogenic delivery system coupled to the cryogenic storage to transport the cryogen; a distributor coupled to the cryogenic delivery system, the distributor having a plurality of distribution lead tubes to evenly distribute the enthalpic potential of the cryogenic element; and a heat exchanger coupled to the distribution lead tubes.
