Method of Using a Container for a Refrigerated Fluid, and a Corresponding Container

摘要

A container for a refrigerated fluid having an external container and an internal container between which an evacuated intermediate space is situated, which contains a superinsulator formed by several, separated layers of foil provided with a metal layer, is used as a storing device for electric energy. The foils act as foil capacitors and are electrically contacted so that an electric voltage can be applied to corresponding electric terminals on the exterior side of the container. In the container, a metal layer can be provided on both surfaces of the foil(s), and the foil(s) may consist of a material with a semiconductor characteristic. The foil capacitors are electrically connectable in series or parallel, and the electrical contacting of the foil metal surfaces can take place via a suspension structure of the internal container in the external container.
