How do insulated water bottles work?

We all want our reusable bottle to keep our iced coffee cold and our cuppa tea hot and the Kmsuperb Bottle does just that.

Each bottle is equipped with hot and cold stainless steel vacuum insulation, making it an insulated water bottle. 

What is an insulated water bottle?

An insulated water bottle is a vessel that lengthens the time in which its contents will remain at the original temperature. The Kmsuperb Bottle will maintain the temperature of its contents for up to 6 hours. 

But HOW does that work we hear you ask?

How does a vacuum insulated water bottle work?

The main function of the Insulated Water Bottle is to keep the water warm, thanks to the vacuum insulation layer inside. The vacuum insulation layer can effectively prevent the transfer of heat, whether it is from the inside of the bottle to the outside or from the outside to the inside of the bottle. Therefore, whether it is hot water or cold water, the temperature can be kept stable for a long time in the Insulated Water Bottle.

Sealing performance

Insulated water bottles usually have good sealing performance, thanks to the design of their bottle caps. The bottle caps are usually equipped with sealing gaskets to ensure that the bottle mouth is tightly closed to prevent liquid leakage. At the same time, designs such as locks or rotating caps on the bottle caps can further enhance the sealing effect.

Vacuum insulated water bottles vs single wall water bottles

A single wall water bottle is just one layer of material whereas a vacuum insulated bottle has two layers with a void between them and, as such, each has different properties. 

The single layer means that you will feel the temperature of the contents you put into it when holding the bottle. So if you fill your single wall bottle with tea it will be hot to touch and, likewise, if you made an iced water, then the bottle would be cold to touch. 

The vacuum insulated water bottle, however, has two walls with an air void between them so you will not feel the temperature of its contents when you hold it. It’s this feature that also enables vacuum insulated water bottles to maintain the temperature of their contents for a longer time period than a single walled bottle.

Do insulated water bottles keep hot drinks warm?

What about warm drinks? Fill your Ocean Bottle up with a brew of your choosing and the vacuum insulation will keep the drink hot for up to 6 hours, even on the coldest of days. So if you’re going wild swimming this winter, you’ll have time to scout out your favourite locations, go for a dip and then sip on your drink to warm you up. 

Settled down on the sofa with your cuppa - have you ever boiled the kettle and then realised you won’t use all the water? *Hot tip* Pour the remaining hot water in an Ocean Bottle and use this to top up your tea throughout the day. This will save you having to use more energy reheating water in the kettle which is good for the planet and good for the purse strings. 

Use and maintenance

Use: When using an insulated water bottle, just pour hot or cold water into the bottle and then close the bottle cap. Due to the effect of the vacuum insulation layer, the liquid in the bottle will maintain a stable temperature for a long time.

Maintenance: The maintenance of insulated water bottles is relatively simple. Clean the liner and shell regularly to keep them clean and tidy; avoid violent collisions or falls to avoid damaging the vacuum insulation layer; when not in use for a long time, they should be cleaned and dried for storage.

In summary, the principle of insulated water bottles is mainly based on their internal vacuum insulation layer, high-quality material selection and good sealing performance. These characteristics enable insulated water bottles to maintain the temperature of liquids in various environments, bringing convenience to people's lives.
