Abstract

Two concentric corrugated metal tubes have a space therebetween in which there is arranged a superinsulation layer. Between the inner tube and the superinsulation layer there is located a helical spacer to ensure an annular channel to facilitate the evacuation of the space between the corrugated tubes. The spacer is formed of interlaced strands to reduce heat conduction therethrough.
