SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING INSULATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide thermal and acoustic insulation systems and methods suitable, e.g., for aircraft or spacecraft.SOLUTION: Systems and methods provide a multi-layer insulation (MLI) 30 that includes a plurality of sealed metalized volumes in a stacked arrangement. The plurality of sealed metalized volumes 32 encapsulate a gas therein, with the gas having one of a thermal insulating property, an acoustic insulating property, or a combination insulating property thereof. The MLI also includes at least one spacer 34 between adjacent sealed metalized volumes of the plurality of sealed metalized volumes, and a protective cover 36 surrounding the plurality of sealed metalized volumes.
