Radiation convection and conduction heat flow insulation barriers
First Claim
1. A system for shielding an interior metal surface of a metal container from a hot fluid within the metal container wherein the hot fluid is at a temperature greater than a temperature limit of the metal, said system comprising:
- a first insulating layer including metal clad insulation proximate said interior metal surface, said metal clad insulation including reflective metal cladding and low thermal conductivity insulation;
a second insulating layer including a perforated reflective metal shield spaced from said first insulating layer; and
a third insulating layer spaced from said second insulating layer and including a composite which is structurally stable and substantially inert to said hot fluid at said temperature.
