Dynamically evacuable apparatuses comprising organic aerogels or xerogels

摘要

The present invention relates to a dynamically evacuable, electrically operated apparatus comprising a contiguously evacuable region and a working region whose temperature can be controlled and which is thermally insulated by the contiguously evacuable region from the ambient temperature, and also a means for actively maintaining a vacuum so that the pressure in the contiguously evacuable region of the apparatus is constant over time within a prescribed pressure range, where the contiguously evacuable region makes up at least 20% by volume of the total volume occupied by a porous and/or cellular insulation material in the apparatus and the contiguously evacuable region comprises at least one organic aerogel and/or organic xerogel.
