Abstract: A vacuum insulated refrigerator cabinet comprises an evacuation system for evacuating an insulation space of the cabinet when pressure inside such space is higher than a predetermined value. The cabinet presents sensor means comprising a temperature sensor and a heater both located within the insulation space and a control system for activating the heater according to a predetermined heating cycle and for receiving a signal from the temperature sensor, such control system being able to provide the evacuation system with a signal related to the insulation level within the insulation space.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated refrigerator cabinet comprises an evacuation system for evacuating an insulation space of the cabinet when pressure inside such space is higher than a predetermined value. It comprises a sensor device having an insulation reference element located on one side of said insulation space and temperature sensors for assessing the differences of temperature across the insulation space) and across the insulation reference element, such sensor device being suitable for providing the evacuation system with a signal related to the ratio of the above differences of temperature.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated refrigerator cabinet comprises a substantially gas-tight container that is filled with a porous core and a gas absorber that communicates with said container and is filled with a gas adsorbent material. Between the container and the gas absorber there is provided a valve adapted to close the communication between the container and the gas absorber, and a heater is provided for heating the gas absorber in order to evacuate gases when the valve is closed.
