Abstract

A vacuum insulator casing for thermal insulating between inside and outside of the casing. The vacuum insulator casing has an inner casing constructed at least two planer sections and a corner section located between the planer sections and an outer casing having a similar shape to the inner casing, which covers the inner casing having a space between them. The space the inner and outer casings is filled with a plurality of vacuum insulator panels and other insulator material. Each vacuum insulator panel has a gas tight outer package from which air has been evacuated and a low thermal conductivity material filled in the package. The vacuum insulator panels are sandwiched between the inner and outer casings so as to touch both casings.
