Description

Device for drying buildings

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the drying of buildings. In particular, the invention relates to a device and a method for drying buildings by means of a bottom heating surface and a wall heating surface, as well as to a corresponding program element and a computer-readable medium.

Background

In the case of devices for drying objects, mention should be made in particular of devices and methods for building drying, since in building drying it is precisely at great expense to dry as quickly and efficiently as possible. For example after flooding, breaking of water pipes or extinguishing fires, and after an unfinished or damaged roof has been subjected to heavy rain, it is important to make the water-damaged room available again as quickly as possible, on the one hand in order to restore usability as quickly as possible, and, on the other hand, in order to avoid the formation of moulds and the continued damage to the walls. In general, in the field of building drying, air drying devices are used for this purpose, which circulate air in the room to be dried and remove moisture from the air. However, this operation is considered relatively ineffective because it is not the wall that is actually dry, but only the air in the room that contacts the wall. Thus, after a relatively long time or after the foil tent has additionally been set up, drying of the wall occurs, which gradually transports the moisture from its interior to the surface, so that the moisture can be conducted away by the air dried by the air drying device.

As a solution to this problem, planar infrared radiators were known at the time in building drying, which can be arranged, for example, in the form of infrared panels in front of walls in order to dry the walls. Most market competitors offer an unregulated planar infrared panel for wall drying. They are placed near the wall and controlled by a timer.

The critical area for wall drying is the footing arrangement area of the wall on bare ceilings. As the inventors of the present invention have determined, there is no or almost no heat radiation by means of the devices for drying buildings known from the prior art. However, the inventors have determined that, precisely there, the concentration of rising moisture is highest after the water has entered the substructure, especially in the case of seamless floors. They know in the tests on which the invention is based: there is an increased risk of mould formation, if not specifically disturbing. Depending on the type of masonry structure, the water can rise more than one meter upwards from the bottom in the wall due to capillary suction.

Disclosure of Invention

The tasks of the invention can be seen as: an improved apparatus and method for drying a building is described.

In particular, the device and the method according to the invention are designed to achieve improved drying of corners, in particular corners between floor and wall, in such a way that infrared radiation is directed into these regions in a targeted and regulated manner.

The object of the invention is achieved by means of the objects of the independent claims. Further advantages and improvements are specified in the dependent claims.

The described embodiments equally relate to a device as well as a method, a program element and a computer-readable medium for drying a building. In other words, the features described below in relation to the apparatus can also be embodied in the method, the program element and the computer-readable medium and are regarded as features of these objects.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus for drying a building is described. The apparatus has a bottom heating surface for emitting infrared radiation onto the bottom of the building. Furthermore, the device has a wall heating surface for emitting infrared radiation onto a wall of the building, which wall adjoins the bottom. Here, the bottom heating surface is arranged in the device at an angle with respect to the wall heating surface.

Here, in this embodiment and in any other embodiment, the bottom heating surface is considered to be a separate and separately provided component from the wall heating surface. However, in a particular embodiment of the invention, an integrated design of the wall heating surface and the bottom heating surface can also be provided.

In this way, a special device is provided for the first time, which is developed specifically for corner drying of buildings. In this case, the arrangement of the two heating surfaces can be carried out, for example, by a radiation-emitting plate, in such a way that as much energy as possible is introduced into the corners. As will be explained below in the context of a specific embodiment, the heated plastic plate, which can emit infrared radiation, can be fastened, for example, in a metal frame in order to achieve a desired, angled arrangement of the two heating surfaces. For this purpose, the two plates can be placed directly or directly adjacent to one another in the corner region, for example they can be glued, overlapped and/or pressed against one another. However, the invention is not limited thereto and also completely different arrangements of the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface belong to the invention.

Furthermore, the heating zone or the two sub-climatic zones, each defined by a heating surface, can be delimited by brushes along the periphery of the heating surface. This makes it possible to completely surround the corner space with the brushes. This can be gathered, for example, from fig. 2. These brushes allow an advantageous air flow from a first sub-climate, which extends between the bottom and the bottom heating surface, and in which the air is advantageously preheated for corner drying and wall drying, to a second sub-climate zone. The second sub-climate zone extends between the wall and the wall heating surface. The heated surface or surfaces can be delimited by the brushes in such a way that, on the one hand, a small energy loss occurs as a result of the air flow, and, on the other hand, moisture can be removed from the drying zone or the climatic zone.

In the context of the present invention, a sub-climate zone is to be understood as a zone, which is defined by a respective heating surface. This will be explained in detail below in the context of different embodiments and figures.

According to a preferred embodiment, the device can be provided such that a through-going sub-climate zone is created. That is to say that in this case the air heated on the bottom heating surface is able to flow continuously, preferably without obstruction, along the device to the wall heating surface and its sub-climate zones.

Further details regarding the advantageous preheating of such air and the resulting, conditioned air flow are set forth in detail in the context of the following embodiments.

The invention allows the two heating surfaces to be adjusted separately, enabling the heat input to be optimized for the drying task. For example, a higher temperature can thereby be generated on the wall than in the base region, so that the required amount of convection can be specifically excited by means of the device. Such an excited air flow can be gathered, for example, from fig. 2, which has a preheating of the air at the bottom in order to improve the drying of the corners and/or the walls in the corner region.

In an advantageous embodiment, the device makes it possible to monitor the maximum temperature in the two zones or in the two sub-climatic zones separately. In this way, in particular overheating of sensitive bottom coverings (for example wood floors) can be avoided. Corresponding intelligent regulation by means of the measuring sensor, the control unit and/or the program element/computer program is also provided by the invention. Here, the skilled person understands that in this embodiment and any other embodiment of the invention, a regulation loop is actually provided when using a control unit and a sensor (e.g. a temperature sensor or a flow sensor).

The targeted energy input into the corner enables a more rapid destruction of critical regions with a significantly lower energy consumption than alternative methods or devices. Furthermore, it should be noted that the invention can also be used for drying in the corners of rooms, in the corners between walls and ceilings, and also for drying of shafts.

By means of the invention, drying can be carried out simultaneously with or faster than bottom drying, which in practice corresponds to a significantly simplified implementation of the drying project.

As the inventors have determined, with heat radiation by means of the prior art, wall sections near the pedestal area of the bottom or wall areas below the floor structure can be poorly or even impossible to achieve. In the prior art, this is due, inter alia, to: cold air flows in from below due to convection triggered by thermal radiation, and the foot area, which is not directly accessible for heating the wall, is not sufficiently thermally energetic. The inventors' studies have shown that, in the case of the wall drying of the prior art to date, the lower region of the wall, the column foot, cools the wall surface and the heating surface of the conventional apparatus to a large extent to a region of 10cm to 15cm by means of cold air from the surroundings flowing in from below.

The invention solves the problem in the following way: in a device, two heating surfaces are arranged at an angle (for example at right angles or substantially at right angles) in such a way that one heating surface is directed toward the bottom and the other toward the wall. The heating surfaces can be connected such that a continuous air space from the bottom to the wall is created. This is supported by the definition of the sub-climatic zones by the brushes already described. Thereby, an air flow is generated, which flows from the bottom to the wall. The heating surface at the bottom heats the air so that it is already hot on the wall. At the same time, in the critical corner regions, the heat radiation from the bottom heating plate and the wall heating plate overlaps, so that more thermal energy can be used here.

Thus, the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art in that a direct input of infrared energy into the desired area is achieved by means of the angled arrangement of the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface. In addition, a temperature sensor can be present on the heating plate, which temperature sensor allows a continuous tracking of the wall temperature in the range of influence of the infrared radiation. The drying operation can be controlled by means of the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface by a control unit, which regulates the energy input into the wall.

In this case, each heating surface can define a respective power regulation by a respective control unit or alternatively by a common control unit. Separate sensors for measuring the wall temperature or the floor temperature can also be present on the device. In addition, similar physical properties can also be detected by means of corresponding sensors and used for controlling the wall heating surface and/or the floor heating surface. For example, the temperature of the sensor itself can be measured, which interestingly and unexpectedly also enables the inference of a drying operation to be made to the inventors. Furthermore, the sensors can be used for air temperature, air humidity and/or air flow speed and for controlling the wall heating surface and/or the bottom heating surface.

The integrated computer control can adjust the wall heating surface and/or the floor heating surface in such a way that the required convection flow and thus the preheated air for wall drying is ensured. The sensor adjustment can prevent overheating of the temperature-sensitive floor structure or wall structure. Due to the rapid drying of the walls, water is sucked out of the bottom structure. With this, an auxiliary bottom drying occurs automatically.

According to one embodiment, the bottom heating surface directly or substantially directly abuts the wall heating surface. In this way, for example, a seamless, continuous transition from the bottom heating surface into the wall heating surface can be ensured. This means that no volume is wasted for generating infrared radiation for wall drying. As such, this advantage is achieved: the radiating surface is closer to the corner because there are no intervening intermediate connecting tabs. In addition, air flow is facilitated. In one embodiment there is a connecting piece which is arranged flush.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the device is designed for generating a conditioned air flow of air heated by the bottom heating surface along the bottom heating surface to the wall heating surface. For this purpose, one or more sensors can be used, for example, to measure the air flow speed.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the bottom heating surface is provided with one or more spacers in the lateral direction to create a bottom heating surface to bottom spacing. Thereby, the bottom heating surface and the partition thereof, when operating together with the bottom, define a first sub-climate zone. Furthermore, the wall heating surface has one or more spacers in the lateral direction to create a wall heating surface to wall spacing. Whereby the wall heating surface, the partition and the wall define a second sub-climate zone in operation. For example, the spacer of one or both heating surfaces can be provided by the brushes described above and below.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device is designed for generating a targeted convection from the first into the second sub-climate zone.

Wherein the device is designed for generating air heated by the bottom heating surface from the first sub-climate zone to the second sub-climate zone

Targeted convection. Such targeted and regulated convection can be learned, for example, from the embodiment of fig. 2.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the device has at least one control unit, which is designed to separately control the heating activity of the bottom heating surface and the heating activity of the wall heating surface. As described in the context of the invention, it is thus possible, for example, to generate a specific temperature cycle in the lower climate zone, which temperature cycle is matched to the temperature cycle of the wall-side sub-climate zones. In this way, a desired temperature exchange and air volume exchange between the two sub-climate zones and the surroundings of the device can be achieved. It is particularly advantageous if a substantially unobstructed and unhindered air flow from the first sub-climate zone into the second sub-climate zone is achieved between the device and the building.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the heating activity of the bottom heating surface comprises a heating power and/or one or more heating moments, in particular heating intervals, of the bottom heating surface. Furthermore, the heating activity of the wall heating surface comprises a heating power and/or one or more heating moments, in particular heating intervals, of the wall heating surface.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the device has a first temperature sensor arranged in or on the bottom heating surface for determining the bottom temperature. Furthermore, the device has a second temperature sensor arranged on or in the wall heating surface for determining the wall temperature. Furthermore, the device is designed by means of a first and a second temperature sensor to separately monitor the temperature at the floor and at the wall. In another preferred form of this embodiment, the device is designed to continuously measure the wall temperature and the bottom temperature, in particular the respective maximum temperatures, by means of the first and second temperature sensors.

According to another embodiment of the invention the device is designed to generate the wall temperature by means of controlling the heating activity of the wall heating surface, measuring the wall temperature, controlling the heating activity of the bottom heating surface and measuring the bottom temperature, said wall temperature being higher than the bottom temperature generated by the bottom heating surface.

In this way, the regulation of the wall temperature and the bottom temperature is achieved by means of the control unit in combination with the measuring sensor means (i.e. in this case with two temperature sensors). In this way, a regulation loop is provided. Here, the skilled person understands that in this embodiment and any other embodiment of the invention, a regulation loop is actually provided when using a control unit and a sensor (e.g. a temperature sensor or a flow sensor).

According to another embodiment of the invention, the device is designed to process a target wall temperature and a target bottom temperature, which are predefined by the user, wherein the device is designed to separately control the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface with respect to the respective heating activities on the basis of these target temperatures. For example, the target-wall temperature and/or the target-floor temperature can be transmitted by the user to the device wirelessly or by wire. For example, a corresponding data transmission can be initiated by means of the remote control unit. For example, the user can input the desired temperature through the display of the device according to the invention or through an input field. Alternatively, the device can retrieve the target temperature from a data store, which can be internal or external to the device.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the device is designed to receive data about the material of the bottom and/or data about the material of the wall. Furthermore, the device is designed to automatically separately determine the heating intervals for the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface on the basis of the received data and to control them accordingly. In certain practical cases, the heating of the air in the sub-climatic zones on the bottom side should take place in a specific temperature cycle, which should then be matched to the temperature cycle of the sub-climatic zones on the wall side in order to achieve the desired temperature exchange and air volume exchange in the sub-climatic zones and in the surroundings. This embodiment enables such control of both heating activities.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the at least one control unit manipulates the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface such that the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface are activated alternately. In another preferred form of this embodiment, the activation of the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface is alternated such that the maximum power consumption is less than the sum of the power consumptions of the two heating surfaces.

This embodiment works if the available power supply is limited. This provides, in particular, a further possibility of reducing the current consumption.

According to another embodiment of the invention, a program element or a computer program is described, which, when running on a processor, instructs the processor to perform the steps of: controlling a heating activity of a bottom heating surface of a device for drying a building to emit infrared radiation to the bottom of the building; and controlling the heating activity of the wall heating surface to emit infrared radiation onto a wall of the building, the wall being contiguous with the floor.

According to another aspect of the invention, a computer-readable medium is described, on which such a program element is stored. According to another embodiment of the invention, where the control data can be additionally stored.

The program element can be part of a computer program, but can also show a complete computer program. For example, the program element can be designed as an update of an existing computer program with which the invention can be obtained by means of the update. The computer-readable medium can be seen as a storage medium, such as a usb-disk, a CD, a DVD, a data storage unit, a hard disk or another medium on which the program element as described above can be stored.

According to another aspect of the invention, a method for drying a building is described. The method comprises the following steps: using a bottom heating surface to emit infrared radiation onto the bottom of the building; using a wall heating surface to emit infrared radiation onto a wall of a building, the wall being contiguous with the base, wherein the base heating surface is arranged in the apparatus at an angle relative to the wall heating surface, wherein the base heating surface is directly or substantially directly contiguous with the wall heating surface; generating a conditioned air flow of air heated by the bottom heating surface along the bottom heating surface to the wall heating surface, wherein the bottom heating surface has one or more spacers in a lateral direction to create a bottom heating surface to bottom spacing, whereby the bottom heating surface and the spacers thereof define a bottom heating surface to bottom spacing

A first sub-climate zone and wherein the wall heating surface is provided with one or more spacers in lateral direction to create a spacing of the wall heating surface to the wall, whereby the wall heating surface and its spacers define a second sub-climate zone.

The invention includes other embodiments of the method that are similar to the embodiments of the apparatus disclosed herein.

According to another aspect of the invention, a method for drying a building is described. The method comprises the following steps: controlling a heating activity of a bottom heating surface of a device for drying a building to emit infrared radiation to the bottom of the building; and controlling the heating activity of the wall heating surface to emit infrared radiation onto a wall of the building, the wall being contiguous with the floor.

Furthermore, the method can comprise measuring a wall temperature and measuring a bottom temperature, wherein the wall temperature is generated by means of controlling a heating activity of the wall heating surface, measuring the wall temperature, controlling a heating activity of the bottom heating surface and measuring the bottom temperature, the wall temperature being higher than the bottom temperature generated by the bottom heating surface.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a device 100 for drying a building according to one embodiment of the invention. The apparatus 100 has a bottom heating surface 101 for emitting infrared radiation onto the bottom of the building. Furthermore, a wall heating surface 102 is shown, which is designed for emitting infrared radiation onto a wall of the building, which wall adjoins the bottom. Here, as clearly shown in fig. 1, the bottom heating surface 101 directly adjoins the wall heating surface 102. As can be gathered from fig. 1, the bottom heating surface 101 and the wall heating surface 102 are fixed in a frame 109 of the apparatus 100 at an angle relative to each other. Furthermore, the device has a first temperature sensor 103 arranged on the wall heating surface 102 for determining the wall temperature. A corresponding temperature sensor 104 for determining the bottom temperature is arranged on the bottom heating surface 101. The sensors 103, 104 allow continuous tracking of the wall and bottom temperatures in the range of influence of the infrared radiation. The drying operation can be controlled by a control unit, not shown, which regulates the energy input into the wall, by means of the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface. Furthermore, the sensors can be used for air temperature, air humidity and/or air flow speed and for controlling the wall heating surface and/or the bottom heating surface. Fig. 1 also shows a first part of the outer frame 108, a second part of the outer frame 109, connection openings 110 for the outer and inner frames, and tabs 111 for connecting/engaging the device 100 to a further, structurally identical device. By means of these tabs, a modular system can be provided in which a plurality of devices 100 are arranged and operated side by side.

Thus, the apparatus 100 realizes a through climate zone from the first sub climate zone to the second sub climate zone. That is, in this case, the air heated on the bottom heating surface 101 is able to flow continuously and without obstruction along the device 100 towards the wall heating surface 102 and its sub-climate zones (see also the embodiment of fig. 2 for this purpose). This allows an advantageous preheating of the air and the resulting conditioned air flow achieves an improved corner drying in the building. The apparatus 100 provides two heating surfaces in an apparatus angled such that in operation one heating surface is directed to the bottom and the other is directed to the wall. The heating surfaces 101, 102 are connected such that a continuous air space is created from the bottom to the wall. The heating surface at the bottom heats the air so that it is already hot on the wall. At the same time, in the critical corner regions, the thermal radiation from the bottom heating surface and the wall heating surface overlap, so that more thermal energy can be used here.

Fig. 2 shows another apparatus 200 according to another embodiment of the invention. The device 200 allows the creation of an air flow with preheating of the air of the bottom to improve drying of the corners and/or the walls in the corner areas. The apparatus 200 is shown in fig. 2 in operation on a floor structure 201 and walls 202, with the walls 202 and floor 201 on a bare ceiling 203. The apparatus 200 has a bottom heating surface 204 and a wall heating surface 205. The respective temperature sensors 211 and 212 are connected to a control unit 213. A first sub-climate zone 209 is between the bottom heating surface 204 and the bottom 201 and a second sub-climate zone 210 is between the wall heating surface 205 and the wall 202. The first sub-climate zone is bounded on the edges by the bottom and the bottom heating surface, respectively, by brushes, which act as spacers. This also applies to the second sub-climate zone. Thus, the heating zone or two sub-climatic zones 209,210 defined by the heating surfaces 204, 205, respectively, are delimited by brushes along the periphery of the heating surfaces. This makes it possible to completely surround the corner space with the brushes. These brushes allow a favorable air flow from the first sub-climate 209 to the second sub-climate zone 210. The second sub-climate zone extends between the wall and the wall heating surface. The heated surface or surfaces can be delimited by the brushes in such a way that, on the one hand, a small energy loss occurs as a result of the air flow, and, on the other hand, moisture can be removed from the drying zone or the climatic zone.

As can be gathered from fig. 2, the respective heating activities of the wall heating surface and the bottom heating surface are adapted such, based on the control of the control unit 213, that a desired air flow 206, 207, 208 flowing along the bottom heating surface towards the wall heating surface is generated. In this way, the temperature, the air moisture and/or the flow rate of the air, which should cause a disruption in the critical regions of the corners and in the connected wall sections, can be optimally adjusted. The device 200 is therefore designed to generate a targeted convection from the first sub-climate zone 209 into the second sub-climate zone 210. The control unit is designed to control the heating activities of the bottom heating surface 204 and the wall heating surface 205 separately. The corresponding heating activity here comprises a heating power and/or a heating time, in particular a heating interval. In a preferred embodiment, the device 200 is designed to generate a wall temperature by means of controlling the heating activity of the wall heating surface, measuring the wall temperature, controlling the heating activity of the bottom heating surface and measuring the bottom temperature, said wall temperature being higher than the bottom temperature generated by the bottom heating surface. Here, the skilled person understands that in this embodiment and any other embodiment of the invention, a regulation loop is provided when using the control unit and the sensors.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method for drying a building according to an embodiment of the invention. The method controls the heating activity of the bottom heating surface in a first step S1 to emit infrared radiation to the bottom of the building. In a second step S2 of the method, the heating activity of the wall heating surface is controlled to emit infrared radiation onto the wall of the building, which wall adjoins the bottom. Thereby, an air flow from the first sub-climate zone to the second sub-climate zone can be generated, which is shown as step S3, said air flow being caused by the control.
