Abstract

A heat insulation wall has two outer surface layers disposed at a distance from one another; the outer surface layers have a contour and are at least substantially vacuum-tight. The heat insulation wall has a connecting profile which extends along the contour, connects the two outer surface layers in a vacuum-tight fashion, and encloses, together with the two outer surface layers, an evacuable space. The connecting profile is composed of a plurality of profile sections. An evacuable thermal insulation material is filled in the evacuable space. A support element is fastened to the outer surface layers and serves as a bearing for the profile sections. The profile sections are supported on the support element and are connected to the support element in a vacuum-tight fashion.
