The Insulon® Shaped-Vacuum Thermal Barrier Concept Group (West Berlin, NJ) has developed the Insulon® Shaped-Vacuum Thermal Barrier, suitable for delivering vacuum insulation at small scales. Applications that need to overcome cooling or heating challenges in smaller packages — for instance, to deliver thermal insulation to extremely cold cryosurgical probes used to destroy tumors and other unhealthy tissue. The barrier can be manufactured in almost any shape, and in small sizes for a variety of applications including cryogenic gas chromatographs, cryogenic cooling of electronic sensors, and superconducting applications.
Improving extruded components requires careful attention to a number of factors, including dimensional tolerance, material selection, and processing. Trelleborg’s Dan Sanchez provides detailed insights into each of these considerations to help you advance your device innovations while reducing costs and speeding time to market.
