  • Publication number: 20220018118
    Abstract: An intermodal container includes a base, a roof, walls extending between the base and the roof, at least one of the walls having a corrugated surface. An insulation for the intermodal container includes a plurality of insulation units, each of the insulation units having a corrugated surface complementary to the corrugated surface of the intermodal container. Frist one of the insulating units has insulating material having a cross-section with a first face and an opposite second face, the first face including a longitudinally extending planar first central section and first and second longitudinally extending planar slanted sections on opposite sides of the first central section. The first and second slanted sections extend obliquely from the first central section toward the second face. A segmented support element is embedded in the insulation unit.

  • Publication number: 20220018119
    Abstract: A wall insulation system includes a plurality of insulation elements extending along a longitudinal direction. First insulation elements include a first portion proximate a second portion, the first portion having a width greater than the second portion, the first portion having a first face, the first face having grooves formed into the first face. The grooves extend obliquely to the longitudinal direction. A longitudinally extending mounting member is embedded in the first insulating element.

  • Patent number: 10773882
    Abstract: An insulation system is configured for mounting to corrugated walls such as the walls of a shipping container. A first end has a first coupling surface and a second end opposite the first end has a second complementary coupling surface. Mating alignment portions are on a top surface of the panel and on a bottom surface of the panel. The second face includes a corrugated surface with a protruding first surface parallel to the first face, a recessed second surface spaced apart from and parallel to the first surface, and third and fourth surfaces extending between the first surface and the second surface, the third and fourth surfaces being orthogonal to the first and second surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8635824
    Abstract: A wall system includes a first wall section a structural portion, such as concrete block construction. A second wall section mounts to the first wall section and includes insulating panels connected in an edge to edge relationship to form a continuous insulating layer. A third wall section of conventional finishing materials such as drywall, paneling or exterior finish layer mounts over the second wall section. Each of the insulating panels includes mounting elements at least partially embedded therein that provide for mounting the panels to the first layer and for mounting the third wall section to the second wall section. Each of the panels is lightweight and may be water impervious. The panels have ridges formed therein that define channels for routing wiring and other components. The panels also include complementary edges and complementary alignment features.
