vacuum bottle
A double-wall container used to store liquified gases such as liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen. A vacuum bottle is made of thin stainless steel sheet, formed into a double-walled container. All air is pumped out of the space between the two walls, leaving a vacuum.
The walls are too thin to transfer much heat into the bottle by conduction, and almost no heat passes across the vacuum. A vacuum bottle is a form of Dewar flask.
