A liquid serves as the calorimetric medium in which the reaction vessel is placed and facilitates the transfer of energy from the reaction. The liquid is part of the calorimeter (vessel) proper. The vessel may be isolated from the jacket (isoperibole or adiabatic), or may be in good thermal contact (heat-flow type) depending upon the principle of operation used in the calorimeter design. 

Although only nitrogen was used as a jacket liquid to obtain the data presented below% the thermal shielding was designed to allow determinations to be made at temperatures as low as 14°K, using liquid hydrogen. For these low temperatures, the internal jacket is shielded by a strip-silvered vacuum vessel and the whole apparatus immersed in a dewar filled with a second cryogen. 

Liquefied cryogenic gases are transported and stored in thermally insulated compressed gas vessels. The insulation of the vessels is achieved by their design with cylinder jacket insulation. Here, the inner vessel is concentrically arranged in the outer vessel and the insulation is located in the clearance. This helps to minimize heat penetration into the cryogenic gas of inner vessel which results from thermal conductivity, thermal radiation and convection ...
