Abstract:
1. A method of applying a thermal insulation product about a non-planar surface, comprising: heating a thermal insulation product to a temperature that is above a boiling point of a liquid disposed within a sealed interior portion of a gas-impermeable envelope of the thermal insulation product, wherein the gas-impermeable envelope comprises inner and outer opposing surfaces; conforming a contour of the inner surface of the gas-impermeable envelope to a contour of a non-planar surface; and cooling, while the contour of the inner surface of the gas-impermeable envelope is conformed to the contour of the non-planar surface, the thermal insulation product down to a temperature that is below the boiling point of the liquid disposed within the sealed interior portion of the gas-impermeable envelope of the thermal insulation product.
