Definitions

  • the present invention relates to multi-panel radiators and in particular to a valve system for use in fabricating such radiators.
  • the present invention seeks to reduce the above mentioned problem associated with conventional double panel radiators by providing a valve system which enables on-site fabrication of a double panel radiator.
  • the valve system comprises a pair of flow regulating valves which are operable to connect the respective waterways of two single panel radiators in parallel and to further provide a means of pipe connection to flow and return water service pipes, thus allowing two single panels to be installed bridged together with the two valves to create a double panel radiator.
  • each said valve comprises a metal valve body having three ports through which liquid may flow during use of the valve, conduit means formed within said body to provide a liquid flow path between the ports, said conduit means comprising a conduit leading from each port to a junction within the body where all three conduits are in communication, and valve means situated between a first one of said ports and said junction, and wherein the second and third of said ports are positioned on the body in the same plane and spaced apart in said plane by an amount such that they lie in substantial registry with the liquid flow ports of respective panels of an associated double panel radiator.
  • the invention also conceives a kit of parts for making a double panel radiator, said kit comprising two single panel radiators, means for attaching said radiators together on site to form a double panel radiator defining, at opposite bottom corners thereof, respective liquid flow ports for each panel, and a valve system according to the present invention, in which a respective valve is provided for attachment to each of the bottom corners of the radiator to provide liquid communication between said liquid flow ports of the respective single panel radiators.
  • valve system of the invention provides the liquid communication between the panels of a double panel radiator normally effected by tubes or the like passing between and welded to the respective panels.
  • the invention is thus able to perform the function of providing a means by which a conventional central heating radiator may be installed either as a single panel or as a double panel and thus eliminates the need to manufacture and stock double panel radiators.
  • the use of the invention will enable the inventory of radiator type sizes as required in conventional practice to be halved by allowing standard single panel radiators to be installed either singly or as double panels.
  • the valve comprises a valve body 1, for example of brass having 3 ports 2, 3 and 4 interconnected by respective conduits 5, 6 and 7.
  • the conduits interconnect at an area 8 approximately in line with a valve comprising a rotatable knob 9 which acts on a piston (not shown) which, in the closed position, bears against a valve seat 10 (see Figure 4).
  • a valve comprising a rotatable knob 9 which acts on a piston (not shown) which, in the closed position, bears against a valve seat 10 (see Figure 4).
  • the valve is operable to control the flow of liquid along the conduit 5 between the junction area 8 and the port 2.
  • ports 3 and 4 are situated on a plane at a distance apart in that plane approximately equal to the expected distance apart of the corresponding ports presented by a pair of single panel radiators . 18, 19 when attached together to form a double panel radiator.
  • Conventional plumbing fittings are used at the three ports to enable a mechanical and liquid tight connection to the rest of the system.
  • ports 3 and 4 these comprise a respective union tail 11 having an external thread 12, for example z" BSPT which is tightened into a corresponding female thread in the radiator panel port (not shown).
  • the tail has an enlarged end portion 13 to enable it to be tightened against the valve body 1 as the respective union nut 14 is tightened over the 3 ⁇ 4" BSPP thread 15.
  • this is machined to take a standard compression fitting comprising an olive (not shown) and ring nut 20.
  • the nut 20 is tightened by turning upon thread 16 which is, for example, of t" BSPP.
  • the valve is fitted by first securing the two tails 11 into their respective bores in the two panels of the radiator, Each tail is formed internally with a hexagonal section 17 for this purpose.
  • the valve is then offered up to the two tails, protruding from the bottom of the radiator, and the union nuts 14 tightened to attach the valve body to the tails.
  • the outer ends of the tails have a spherical mating surface with the valve body, some care should be taken to eliminate gross differences between the protruding distance of the two tails when fitted into the radiator panels. This will not only look unsightly, but may lead to leakage.
  • port 2 may then be joined to adjacent pipework in the usual manner. It should be noted that, although port 2 is shown facing downwards (this being the most usual orientation), in certain circumstances it may be desirable to orient port 2 in such a way that the outlet pipe therefrom is horizontal.
  • valve system described above not only controls the flow of liquid into the two single panels forming the associated double panel radiator but also connects the liquid flow paths of the two single panel radiators in parallel.
  • Any type of valve mechanism can be used - for example of the conventional on/off variety or thermally responsive types.
