Thermally insulating jacket under reversible vacuum utilizing hydrogen getter in combination with non-evaporable promoter getter
First Claim
1. A thermally insulating jacket under reversible vacuum, having an inner wall, an outer wall and an hollow space between said walls in fluid communication with an outer housing containing a reversible non-evaporable hydrogen getter loaded with hydrogen before use, wherein:
- a) said reversible hydrogen getter has hydrogen equilibrium pressure px1 lower than 100 mbar at 500°
C., when the hydrogen concentration in the getter is 0.1% by weight, and is kept at a variable or constant temperature Ti different from the temperature Tc of the hotter wall of the jacket;
b) said hollow space contains a non-evaporable promoter getter having a hydrogen equilibrium pressure Px2 higher than 100 mbar at 500°
C., when the hydrogen concentration in the getter is 0.1% by weight, which is exposed to a temperature Tc different from Ti.

Abstract
A thermally insulating jacket under reversible vacuum, having an inner wall, an outer wall and an hollow space between these walls. The hollow space is in fluid communication with an outer housing containing a reversible non-evaporable hydrogen getter loaded with hydrogen. The reversible hydrogen getter has a certain hydrogen equilibrium pressure. The hollow space contains a non-evaporable promoter getter having a certain hydrogen equilibrium pressure. These jackets can be employed with heat accumulators, batteries, cryogenic vessels, cryogenic pipes, catalytic silencers and solar panels.
