Abstract

The invention relates to a radiation heater with a radiant tube surrounded by a housing which has a reflector region guiding the heat radiation downwards. The radiation heater can also be used in low spaces due to the fact that the structure of the upper reflector region and/or lateral reflector regions adjacent thereto and/or radiation surfaces of the radiant tube is such that the heat radiation emerging from the housing has a distribution curve lowered at the centre below the housing and raised in relation thereto on both sides.

Description

R~dia~lt heat heater The invenhon relates to a radiant heat heater with a housing that at least partially su~rounds at least one radiant tube, that ~eatures an upper reflect~r area ~at ~l~fl~cts ~e radia~lt heat downward and that is open a~ ~e bottom for the r~ tit~n of heat.

Such radiant heat heaters ~i~hn~ h themsel~ves by their low proportion of wnvection heat and their relati~ely cost-effecnve ener~y usage. But, since the i~l~C,A)s;~c r~ tio~ of heat onto the head of a human is not well tolerated, the use of radiant heaters up until no~r has been l~mited to rooms that are more than e.g. 4 meters high, so that hall-like meeting or work rooms are particularly considered as areas o~ app~ $ion Wi~ re~ard to more ~et~i embo~limPnt.~, reference is made to the ~n~book for He~tinE and Climate Technology (Tac~ Pnbuch fuer Heizung + ~lim~technik) 92/93, page 362 ff.

The invention has the basic task of prov~ding ~ radiant heat heater of the initially indicated type which also provides an acceptable se~s;ltion of heat in low height rooms.

Thc ~ is a~,o~-~rlich~ by meuls ofthe c~ t~ri~r~ of cl~im 1. According to that, it is provided that the upper reflector area and/or ti c jwc~posed lateral reflector area and/or the r~ tinp surfaces of the radiant tube are de~ie~- d in such a way ~a~ the heat radiation -', ~ .

leaving ~e housing eYhil~its a ~li~b~ cuI-re with a shape that is dcpr~se~ in the center under the housing and is relatively r~sed on bo~ ~1des. ~Vith these mewres the high cen~al vertical radiant heat por~on of conven~;on~ t heat heaters is ~ .sed, and is made usefill in areas of g~eater angles of rodi~tir~n rela~ive to the ver~cal. The heat ~ii~ih~ on thus produc~ed avoids r~ hne the head ln a m~nner ~at is too intensive. The radiant heat heater will thus be usefill for room heights u~der 4 meters all the ~vay down to e.g. 2.80 meters. Suitable distribution cu~es can be ac~ieved with the in~liC~te~ ~LIe~Ur~iS, ~~penf~i on the type and ~eQIr ~try of the room and lhe arrangement of the radiant heat heater, The dist:nbution curve can be dete~tnin~ e.g. by ~e g~metry of the radiant tube, that is, for example, by having lateral sections of the ra~i~tine surface that are larger than ~e lower and the upper sectionc In this c~e the design can be such that the cross sec~on of the radiant tube is trape70i~1 in shape, with ~e base on top or on the bottom, oval ~th the larger mPter a directed ver~cally, tri~lar wit:h a base chat is on top or ~n the bottom, or rectangular with vertically directed longitudinal sides. If it is pronded ~at the radiant tube is selectively coated at least in sectionC, ~en the r~ ting portio~s can additioD~lly be suitably defined by va~ying the degree of ~n~niS~inD.

A fur~er measure to establish the distribution cu~ve of the radiated heat, ~ ich can possibly be carried out in addition to other measures, is to have a r~flecting reflector ~1ement a~anged under the radiant tubc. The design can ~ereby be of such a nature ~at the lower reflector element features lateral deflec~on s~ .s that deflect the imr~ctir~ heat radiation toward t:he sides ess~lti~11y symmetrically, or ~at ~e lower reflector element is ~lesiEnP~l in the form of - -z :' ' 1 strips. The vertical por~on can be d~wod rr~tic~lly as desired along the width of the stnps, so ~hat a desigrl cf ~he radiant heat heater is achieved such that it is adv~n~ous for low room hPi~tC

The deflection o~ tihe radiant heat can be fi~er varied by having ~e lateral reflector areas l vertically. In this ~;vay the radiant tube can also be optically shielded, so that the e~ance of the radiant heat heater is fa~rorable. ~e distribution of ~e radiant heat can fi~rthP~ore be influenced by having the reflector areas desi~Pd ~ vapor deposited ~lass stnps. ~ greater or lessor portion of the radiMt heat can be reflPcted ~1Pp~ ine on the intensity of the ~Japor deposit or coa~ng of t}.e glass strips.

A suitable distribution curre with decreased v~rtical heat rad1~tion in the central area can be achieved in particular in conjunction with the prwiously indicated measures, in that the upper reflector area features sec~ion~ that drop off obliquely in cross section on both sides toward l:he edge, or are curved.

The ~n~ention is e~rl~ined ~n more detail in the following on the basis of an e~.emrllfied embodiment with reference to the drawings. Shown are:

Fig. 1 a cross sechon of a radiant heat heater and Fig. 2 distribution cur~res of the radiarlt hea~ of two vanants of this radiaIlt heat heater. - -The radia~t heat heater 10 ill~ A in figure I fec~u.~s a ~ ~g 9 in which a radiant tube 8 that ~en~ perp~n~ic~ r to the pl~e of the drawing is ~ .~ug~1 b_tw~n the lateral borders ûf thc ho~. Above the rad~ant tube 8 ~he huuai~g 9 ha~ an upper reflector area 1 with a middle h"~ r~hl section and se~ti~ns that are laterally j~ posed laterally and are inr1inerl down~rard toward ~he edge. The inclin~ seC~ionc are bordered at their free ends by lateral reflector ~lern~r~tc 2 that extend downward. Abo~e ~he upper reflectûr area 1 in~ hon rneans 7 are providet to ~U~ jJ5 heat loss, and the hsll~inE 9 is closed off at its upper side by a hn~ n~ cover 6. A lo~rer reflector ele~Pr~t 3 is a~aDged vertically under the radiarlt tube 8 and e~e~ti~lly has the for~ ûf an angle or triallgle in cros section, w~ch a tip pointin~
upward arld a base that is below.

The cross section of the radiant hlbe 8 features a large portion of steep ra~i~tin~ surfaces that are additionally provided w~th a coating 5. By way of eY~rnple, fig. 1 sho~s a trape~ lly shaped cross section ~v~th a base side that ~s on top. ~

With the radiant heat heater according to the exemplified embo~iment. the radiant heat that }eaves the radiant tube 8 caI~ be i~fll~nced in multiple ways by reflection and/or transmission in order to decrease the i~tensity of ~e radiant heat directed vertically downward, ~nd lhe radiated heat r~ ting to the side at a r~di~ti-ln angle alpha (see figure 2) can be fixed in a defined manner. The selective coating S of the radiant tube g can be used to vaIy the sq~ sr~ loa~ ~e lateral areas of thc radian~ tube 8. ~rhe la~eral sur~aces of the radiant tube 8 can thereby be desi~P~l to be larger rela~ive to the upper and lo~ver portions of the r~ tin~ surfaces 4, in order to achieve ~ coLLc~ondingly greater lateral r~liptio~ The .~.. .. .

_ _ _ ~tli~tiQT~ ~at leaves the radiant tube 8 is ~ip~flpcted onto the lateral reflector areas 2 by the upper reflector area 1 wi~ rela~vely flat lateral se~ ti~n~ arld iS ~ fl~e~ from ~here at an ay~rul~;at angle into tbe space located under the h~ ng 9. A portion of ~he radia~t heat that leaves the radia~t tube 8 in a do~~ ud direction is deflected to the side a~ the lateral surfaces of the lowcr reflector el~Tn~nt~, into ~e space located under the housing 9.

The specifie-l measures, ~or eY~n-ple, result In a distribu~on curve b according to figure 2.
In this distribu~ion cu~e, with a ver'àcal p~ n angle alpha, the int~ty or strength of Mrli~hon E is clearly decr~cd, while in the juxtaposed angle area at ca. 30 degrees ~e respective m~im~ of the distribution curve ~se. If, for ~x~mrle~ the lower reflector elern~nt 3 is removed or replaced by ano~er reAector element ~at can be ~ÇSi~nP~, e.g., as a horizontal strip that is completely or only par~i~lly reflective and partially trausparent, the~, e.g., the ver~ical por,tion of ~e distributiou curve is dimini~hed by less, as can be seen in ~e distribution curve a. The vertical portion in both cases is ~limini.~hed in favor of the radiated heat r~i.qtin~ in the lateral angular reg~on, whe~eby the degree of ef~ciency is practicAlly not Aiminich~d at all.

As a result of the geometry and coa~ng of th~ radiant tube 8, the upper reflector area 1, ~e lateral reflector area 2 and ~e lower reflector element 3, suitable distribution cun~es can be generated by means of a~ ,pliate v~a:~ions, whereby a greater decrease in the radiated heat ~ ~e cent~r ~ p~icul-rly ~dv nta~cous for room heights that are low. .

The visual appearance of ~he radiant heat heater can also be varied by coating the stripsj~o ... .... ..... . .. ..

that it ca~ also be used, e.g. as a built in, ll~u~t~d o~ h~ radiant body in offices or wai~ing roo~s.
