Inflatable insulated vacuum panel
An inflatable panel (10) for forming a shelter comprises an inflatable first part (12) having an internal compartment (13); an inflatable second part (14) having an internal compartment (15); and a third part (16) connecting the first part (12) to the second part (14) at a periphery of the first and second parts (12, 14). The first, second, and third parts (12, 14, 16) together define a sealed enclosure (18) therebetween. At least one semi-rigid insulator (20) is positioned between the inflatable first part (12) and the inflatable second part (14). The inflatable panel (10) also includes means for evacuating air from the sealed enclosure. Said means for evacuating air from the sealed enclosure is operable to create a full or partial vacuum within said sealed enclosure, and said sealed enclosure is configured to increase thermal insulation between the first part (12) and the second part (14). In use a shelter may comprise a plurality of panels, the first and second parts of each panel may be in fluid communication, the first parts of a plurality of the panels may be in fluid communication and the enclosures of a plurality of the panels may be in fluid communication.
