Abstract
Systems and methods for producing a lightweight vacuum insulated vessel are provided herein. An exemplary vessel is of a non-radially symmetric shape and maintains vacuum pressure between two concentric containers (an inner container and outer container). The vacuum insulated vessel is made to withstand high temperatures in a furnace during manufacture. Further, the vessel may contain a fuel cartridge for a fuel cell system and be insulated to retain heat necessary for the fuel cartridge reactions.
