Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vacuum heat-insulating material includes: an outer cover material; and a core material which is sealed in a tightly closed and decompressed state on the inside of the outer cover material. Outer cover material has gas barrier properties and satisfies at least one of a condition that a linear expansion coefficient is 80×10 −5 /° C. or lower when a static load is 0.05 N within a temperature range of −130° C. to 80° C., inclusive, a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 65×10 −5 /° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of −140° C. to −130° C., inclusive, a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 20×10 −5 /° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of −140° C. to −110° C., inclusive, and a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 13×10 −5 /° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of +50° C. to +65° C., inclusive.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A heat-insulating container comprising: a heat-insulating structure body equipped with a vacuum heat-insulating material, the vacuum heat-insulating material including: an outer cover material including at least a resin component; and a core material which is sealed in a tightly closed and decompressed state on an inside of the outer cover material, wherein the outer cover material has gas barrier properties and satisfies at least one of (1) a condition that a linear expansion coefficient is 80×10 −5 1° C. or lower when a static load is 0.05 N within a temperature range of −130° C. to 80° C., inclusive, (2) a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 65×10 −5 /° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of −140° C. to −130° C., inclusive, (3) a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 20×10 −5 /° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of −140° C. to −110° C., inclusive, and (4) a condition that an average value of a linear expansion coefficient is 13×10 −5 1° C. or higher when a static load is 0.4 N within a temperature range of +50° C. to +65° C., inclusive, and wherein a substance is held in the heat-insulating container. 2. The heat-insulating container according to claim 1 , wherein tensile strength at break of the outer cover material of the vacuum heat-insulating material in an atmosphere of −130° C. is equal to or greater than 180 MPa. 3. The heat-insulating container according to claim 1 , wherein the outer cover material of the vacuum heat-insulating material satisfies at least one of conditions (1) to (4) at least in one of a mechanical extending direction and a lateral direction. 4. The heat-insulating container according to claim 3 , wherein Cmd/Ctd of the outer cover material of the vacuum heat-insulating material is equal to or less than 3, where an average value of a linear expansion coefficient in the lateral direction in the temperature range is Ctd and where an average value of a linear expansion coefficient in the mechanical extending direction in the temperature range is Cmd. 5. The heat-insulating container according to claim 1 , wherein the outer cover material of the vacuum heat-insulating material is a laminated film including a resin layer and a gas barrier layer. 6. The heat-insulating container according to claim 5 , wherein the gas barrier layer includes at least one of a metal foil layer or a metal deposition layer. 7. The heat-insulating container according to claim 5 , wherein the resin layer includes at least one front surface protecting layer which is positioned on an outer surface side of the gas barrier layer, and at least one thermal welding layer which is positioned on an inner surface side of the gas barrier layer. 8. A hydrogen transport tanker comprising: the heat-insulating container according to claim 1 , wherein the substance is hydrogen. 9. An LNG transport tanker comprising: the heat-insulating container according to claim 1 , wherein the substance is liquefied natural gas (LNG).
