Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described is a self-sealing thermal enclosure. In various embodiments, the self-sealing thermal enclosure includes an enclosure having a wall with an opening. The enclosure is configured to surround a temperature-controlled environment. The self-sealing thermal enclosure also includes a porous seal disposed adjacent to the wall at the opening. The porous seal is compressible and is fabricated from an open cell foam material. When the porous seal has absorbed a fluid such as a condensate, the temperature-controlled environment is sealed from an ambient environment such that the flow of air into or out of the enclosure is substantially reduced or eliminated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A self-sealing thermal enclosure, comprising: an enclosure configured to surround a temperature-controlled environment, the enclosure having a wall separating the temperature-controlled environment from an ambient environment, the wall having an opening therein; and an absorbent porous seal compressed against the wall at the opening, the absorbent porous seal comprising an open cell foam material, wherein a flow of air between the temperature-controlled en…
