  Dewar flask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In form, a Dewar flask is a glass or metal bottle, with a double-layer construction; in fact, it can be considered to be two thin-walled bottles nested one inside the other, and sealed together at the neck.
A very common use of the Dewar flask in laboratories is the storage of liquid nitrogen; in this case, the leakage of heat into the extremely cold interior of the bottle results in a slow "boiling-off" of the liquid (a pressure relief valve is provided to prevent pressure from building up).
A "Thermos bottle" (trademarked), or vacuum flask (generic) used to keep coffee or other beverages hot, is usually based on the design of a Dewar flask; since glass dewar flasks are fragile and somewhat expensive to fabricate, other constructions based on plastic or insulated metal are also popular.

 BBC - History - Sir James Dewar (1842 - 1923)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The youngest of six boys, Dewar was born and raised in Scotland.
Dewar's first paper was given by the Professor to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1867 and outlined a means to represent organic structures with copper strips and disks, using this method to suggest several different possible structures for benzene, including the correct one.
In further work, Dewar looked at phosphorescence at low temperatures, and worked with Pierre Curie on radium decay to helium in 1904, the same year that he was knighted.

It consists of two flasks, one placed inside the other, with a vacuum between.
For greater efficiency the flasks are silvered to reflect heat.
The substance to be kept hot or cold, e.g., liquid air, is contained in the inner flask.

 Vacuum separator for dewar flask cold exchange systems - Patent 4944155
A Dewar flask cold exchange system 10 includes an exterior vessel 11 to which a pair of handles 12 are affixed at opposite sides of the vessel.
The Dewar flask 10 includes a cold finger 30 which is suitably attached to the outer wall 14 of the inner vessel 13 in heat transfer relation.
In prior art Dewar flask systems, the seal between the Dewar vacuum and the device chamber vacuum maintained by the vacuum separator is typically tested by first drawing a vacuum in the flask and then pumping helium gas into the device port.

 Vacuum flask
A vacuum flask or Thermos flask is a bottle that reduces heat transfer from the inside to the outside and conversely to a minimum, and therefore keeps warm drinks warm and refrigerated drinks cold.
It was invented by Sir James Dewar, a scientist at Oxford University in 1892.
Historically vacuum flasks have been made of glass although they are now also made in metal which makes them more durable and less prone to breakage.

 Electric coffee maker - Patent 4205598
The circulating heater in the outer jug-housing is preferably in the space of the bottom rounded portion of the Dewar flask or vessel.
Since the Dewar flask is round for manufacturing reasons, it is practical to provide at the side of the outside shell in the region of the handle a vertical bulge containing a fresh water tube or conduit between the convection heater and the connection tube.
Even in the case of a rather sharp cornered transition between side wall and bottom of the Dewar vessel, because of the required centering and holding means which are disposed in the bottom region, enough space is available at the bottom of the Dewar vessel for installing a convection heater according to the invention.

 Today in Technology History - Sep 20
Dewar (pronounced DYOO-er) was born in Scotland on September 20, 1842.
Dewar wanted to study the properties of these liquefied gases, but it wasn't easy to keep them cold long enough to study them.
Dewar himself had nothing to do with the Thermos company, since he never patented his invention.

 Dewar, James   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
In the 1870s he invented the Dewar flask (or thermos flask), using it in his studies of low temperatures and gas liquefaction.
Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes managed to liquefy helium using Dewar's techniques in 1908, and Dewar was then able to achieve temperatures within a degree of absolute zero (273°C/459°F) by boiling helium at low pressure.
Dewar also carried out work in spectroscopy, particularly concerned with the absorption spectra of metals.

 A QUICK GUIDE TO CRYOGENS
The storage dewars have two valves, one at the top, which must be opened to insert the transfer tube, the other on a vent line used for pressurizing the dewar during a transfer.
On the IR array instruments, both the fill and vent lines of the LHe fill fixture on the dewar are gently plugged with pipe cleaners; this results in a very small overpressure, which prevents the ambient atmosphere from being sucked in and frozen inside the lines.
On initial fills, the height of the dewar to be filled must be adjusted so that the transfer tube will reach nearly to the bottom of its LHe flask when the other end is at the bottom of the storage dewar flask.

 Vacuum Flask
A vacuum flask or Dewar flask has the remarkable capacity to hold extremely cold liquids like liquid nitrogen for a considerable length of time.
Clearly, the flask is able to effectively block heat transfer from the outside either through the walls or through the open top.
The blocking of heat transfer into the liquid nitrogen from the top of a vacuum flask involves the insulating properties of gases and the ideal gas law.

The super-insulated 100mm Dewar flask measures "residual" heating in compost in range of 0 to 70C, requiring up to 7 days to complete one test.
The difference between the highest temperature attained in the flask and ambient is employed as an index.
The test was first applied in 1988 in Germany to determine when compost is "ripe" ("Reifegrad") and is a required test for all composts in Germany.

It was invented by Scottish chemist and physicist, James Dewar (thus its name) around the turn of this century.
Well, Dewar's theory was based on the fact that almost every single material known to man has an R-value, and the "R" only stands for 'resistance'.
But gold, silver, and aluminum are also conductors, so in order for the Dewar Flask to work, he used glass as the thermal barrier.
