Secrets behind a heat preservation flask
It can’t be denied that a hot cup of coffee or tea can be a comforting companion on a chilly morning or during a long day at work. However, maintaining the ideal temperature of our favorite beverage used to be a challenge until a heat preservation flask came to the rescue. In this article, we will explore the science behind these flasks and how they help retain the drink’s temperature.
A heat preservation flask, commonly known as a thermos or vacuum flask, is a container designed to keep the temperature of its contents stable over an extended period. Whether it's hot coffee, tea, soup, or cold water, a vacuum flask can maintain the desired temperature for hours. This is achieved through a combination of innovative design and scientific principles.
The science of heat retention
Vacuum insulation
The core principle behind the exceptional heat preservation capabilities of these flasks is vacuum insulation. Inside a heat preservation flask, there are two layers of material separated by a vacuum. The innermost layer is the container that holds the beverage, and the outer layer is where we hold. This vacuum greatly reduces heat transfer, the three modes of which are conduction, convection, and radiation.
Three modes of heat transfer occur when cooking.
- Conduction: In a vacuum, there are no molecules to transfer heat through conduction. Therefore, the heat from our beverage stays trapped inside, and the cold air outside cannot draw it away.
- Convection: Convection relies on the movement of matter, usually air or liquid, to transfer heat. Since there is no air inside the vacuum, there is no convection to steal the warmth from the drink in storage.
- Radiation: Radiation is the transfer of heat coming from a source through electromagnetic waves. The shiny, reflective surface of a flask's interior reduces radiation by reflecting the heat back into the liquid.
Double-walled construction
Heat preservation flasks often feature a double-walled construction. These two walls, typically made of stainless steel or glass, are separated by a vacuum or insulating material. The double-walled design adds an extra layer of protection against temperature changes. The outer wall minimizes heat exchange with the external environment, while the inner wall holds steady the temperature of the beverage.
The vacuum layer provides a barrier from heat transfer.
Sealable lid
A heat preservation flask's lid is specially designed to create an airtight seal. This ensures that no heat escapes, and no external air enters, preserving the beverage's temperature. A good seal is crucial for maintaining the desired temperature for an extended period.
Thermos flasks feature a leak proof seal and do not sweat or freeze on the outside.
Choosing the right heat preservation flasks
When shopping for a vacuum flask, please consider the following factors:
- Capacity: It depends on our needs. Smaller flasks are perfect for personal use, while larger ones are great for group outings.
- Material: Stainless steel is a common and durable choice as it resists staining, is easy to clean, and doesn't retain flavors.
- Lid type: Ensure the lid has a reliable seal to prevent heat loss. Some models come with an integrated cup or mug, which can be convenient for sipping.
- Heat retention time: Check the manufacturer's specifications for the expected heat retention time. It varies from model to model.
There are many factors to be considered while buying a new flask.
In short, heat preservation flasks, powered by the principles of vacuum insulation and double-walled construction, are essential companions for those who value a hot cup of coffee or tea throughout the day. Choosing the right flasks can make all the difference in enjoying a warm and comforting drink, no matter where life takes us.

In order to measure and mix protein powder with water and milk, we can always use a glass with a spoon, but the powder won't dissolve easily, leaving lumps. So a shaker bottle, with its special mixing mechanism, is the right answer to this issue.
As the world has become a global village, rice has increasingly appeared in meals of many countries on continents other than Asia. However, not everyone knows how to cook rice well, sometimes too wet or too dry. With a rice cooker from Vietnam’s Rang Dong, we can now get rid of those concerns and easily make perfect rice.
Pump-vacuum jugs deliver hot water or drinks with the push of a button or the press of a lever. The button or the lever, located at the top of the jug, acts in a pump mechanism that pushes air into the jug, forcing the liquid into a delivery tube for flowing out via the spout. The jug will work better and last longer if we follow a few guidelines as follows.
While Cappuccino, one of the world’s most popular coffee drinks, is widely available in any coffee shop, it is hard to make a good and splendid one even though it is just an espresso with steamed milk or foamed milk. Let’s take a look at how Cappuccino is consumed in Italy, the world’s capital of coffee.
French press coffee is very simple, yet popular in America and Europe as the pot designed by the French is believed to be the best way to fully enjoy the taste of coffee. Coffee will be “soaked” completely in water to unleash its flavor. In his book “Onward”, Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks, also mentioned French press as his favorite brewing utensil.
In any tea-drinking culture, the teapot always plays an important role because, apart from water, it has a strong say on the final taste of the tea, an indispensable drink in our modern life. Depending on tea drinkers’ demand and the type of tea, various types of teapots, different in size, shape, material and design, have been developed.
