The core insulation principle of the cooling cup and the insulation cup is completely the same, both using a vacuum layer for insulation to delay temperature changes, but the design details and marketing focus are different.
1. Essence and Principle
Both use vacuum insulation technology to maintain the temperature of the contents by blocking thermal radiation, конвекция, and conduction, so the cooling cup is essentially a variant of the insulated cup.
2. Design Features
Cup lid and drinking method: Insulated cups are usually equipped with sealed cup lids, which can also be used as small cups to dispense hot water and avoid burns; Cooling cups often adopt a direct drinking design, with the lid and body integrated, making it convenient to drink cold drinks directly.
Structural emphasis: Some cooling cups are designed to be suitable for cold drinks (such as adding ice cubes) and may adopt a wide mouthed design, but this may result in slightly inferior heat retention compared to insulated cups.
3. Selection and usage suggestions
Function selection: If hot water is the main option, priority should be given to insulated cups with lids; If you frequently serve cold drinks, a direct drinking insulated cup is more convenient. Safety precautions: Due to its direct drinking design, the cooling cup should be consumed with caution when filled with hot water to prevent burns; Both should not be stored for long periods of time for perishable or gas producing liquids such as carbonated beverages and milk.
