Insulation brick

摘要

Presented are an insulation brick and the method of using an insulation brick to create a thermal lining. A set of corrugations are formed into a sidewall of the brick to increase the thermal insulation. A first end of the insulation brick has a convex portion while the second end of the insulation brick has a convex portion. This allows a first insulation brick to mate with another brick in an end to end configuration.

主权项

1. An insulation brick comprising:
an upper surface defining a first continuous flat planar surface; a lower surface defining a second continuous flat planar surface; a first end having a convex portion; a second end having a concave portion and a pair of flat portions on opposite sides of said concave portion; an inner sidewall defining a curved surface extending from the first end to the second end, said curved surface defined a first radius of curvature; and an outer sidewall comprising a set of corrugations and a plurality of intermediate planar portions, wherein each intermediate planar portion is disposed between adjacent corrugations on the outer sidewall, wherein the corrugations and the plurality of intermediate planar portions are configured to provide thermal insulation and maintain compression stress against shell flexing.
