  • Patent number: 6974634
    Abstract: A finished laminate is provided. The laminate includes an imperforate metal layer having a metallic surface, and a metallic felt layer having a first surface attached to the metallic surface and an exposed second surface facing away from the metallic surface. Also provided is multi-layer tubing including a thermally conductive metal layer having a metallic surface, and a substantially thermally non-conductive, metallic felt layer having an outer felt layer surface attached to the metallic surface and an exposed inner felt layer surface. The metal layer and the metallic felt layer collectively form a laminate configured as a substantially cylindrical structure with the metallic felt layer positioned radially inward of the metal layer. In certain embodiments, the metal the laminate has opposite side edge portions overlapping and coupled to one another at a coupling portion, without a thermally conductive path through the coupling portion.
