Principle of a Thermos Flask and Rang Dong’s Product Updates
Many people have been using thermos flask as the device conveniently keeps hot and cold drinks/soups for many hours. It becomes quite handy when we need to go out for shopping, going to work or school, or camping. The thermos flask’s heat retention is in place thanks to its special structure.
History of thermos flask
In 1892, a vacuum flask was invented by a Scottish scientist, Sir James Dewar. He made a partial vacuum to keep the temperature stable. Six years later, he hired a glassblower to make a sturdier flask and it became commercial with the name of “Dewar Flask”. The glassblower, Reinhold Berger, and his partner Albert Aschenbrenner gave the metal body casing and secured a patent for the flask. In 1904, the pair renamed it ‘Thermos’, using the Greek word for ‘hot’.
Inside a thermos flask
The thermos flask has a body and inner parts. The body is made from plastic or stainless steel. Inside the thermos, there is a glass linear refill and a silicon neck’s stopper above. Another stopper in the bottom keeps the glass refill in place and vacuum. The glass refill is silver coated that looks like a mirror.
Rang Dong’s safety glass refill has high heat retention in compliance with European and Japanese standards.
Heat transfer and thermos flasks principle
Heat transfers in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction means heat is transferred by collisions of atoms. It means an atom moves to another. They stop moving when the temperature is absolute zero. Convection is a property of liquids and gases. When liquid or gas gets hot, convection rises above the rest of the body of liquid or gas. That's why we blow the hot liquid to cool it down. Radiation happens when the atom is unstable. They gain extra heat energy and make the atoms quickly return to their normal state.
The glass refill has silver coating that will reduce heat transfer by radiation. The tight stopper prevents air from entering or leaving the flask. It reduces convection so heat can’t escape from a thermos flask and the drinks stored inside will stay at a stable temperature for several hours.
When we open the stopper, the heat escapes a bit but our beverage’s temperature will not change much. The vacuum between two walls of the glass refill prevents heat from going through convection and the thinness of the glass refill prevents the heat from entering or leaving through conduction. The body adds more insulation.
Rang Dong’s thermos flask is simple, effective and convenient
The heat cannot go through a vacuum, so it keeps our beverages hot or cold at steady temperatures.
