Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à combattre les phénomènes de condensation sur des châssis de porte ou de fenêtre non pourvus d'une structure capable d'interrompre le pont thermique.The invention relates to a device intended to combat condensation phenomena on door or window frames not provided with a structure capable of interrupting the thermal bridge.
Les châssis de porte et de fenêtre de ce type, montés dans des pièces chauffées dans lesquelles règne un certain degré d'humidité, présentent, par temps froid, le très grand inconvénient de condenser l'humidité de la pièce sur toutes les faces du châssis refroidies par conduction à partir des surfaces extérieures du châssis.Door and window frames of this type, mounted in heated rooms in which a certain degree of humidity prevails, have, in cold weather, the very great disadvantage of condensing the humidity of the room on all sides of the frame cooled by conduction from the exterior surfaces of the chassis.
Lorsque, pour des raisons économiques ou autres, il ne peut être envisagé de remplacer ces châssis par des éléments dits à "interruption du pont thermique". Il n'a, jusqu'à présent, pas été possible de.remédier radicalement à ce très grand inconvénient des châssis de ce type.When, for economic or other reasons, it cannot be envisaged to replace these chassis with elements known as "thermal bridge interruption". So far, it has not been possible to radically remedy this very great drawback of chassis of this type.
L'invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif qui permet de remédier à cette situation, sans modifier les châssis existants.The object of the invention is to provide a device which makes it possible to remedy this situation, without modifying the existing chassis.
A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention consiste en un élément chauffant introduit dans ou mis en contact avec le châssis soumis au phénomène de condensation.To this end, the device according to the invention consists of a heating element introduced into or brought into contact with the chassis subjected to the phenomenon of condensation.
Dans une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse, l'élément chauffant précité est constitué par un profilé dans lequel est logée une résistance électrique constituée par deux conducteurs métalliques noyés dans un support semi-conducteur.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the aforementioned heating element is constituted by a profile in which is housed an electrical resistance constituted by two metallic conductors embedded in a semiconductor support.
D'autres détails et avantages de l'intention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un dispositif destiné à combattre les phénomènes de condensation sur des châssis de porte ou de fenêtre, selon l'invention. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention.Other details and advantages of the intention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a device intended to combat the phenomena of condensation on door or window frames, according to the invention. This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention.
La figure ci-jointe représente, selon une vue partielle en perspective, le dispositif selon l'invention fixé sur la partie inférieure d'un châssis de fenêtre.The attached figure shows, in a partial perspective view, the device according to the invention fixed on the lower part of a window frame.
Le dispositif représenté, en partie, à la figure ci-jointe et qui constitue un mode d'exécution donné à titre d'exemple, est constitué par un profilé métallique (1) de section généralement carrée, à l'intérieur duquel est montée une résistance chauffante électrique (2). La résistance chauffante (2' est du type qui comprend deux conducteurs métalliques (3) noyés dans une matière semi-conductrice (4). Il est important que la résistance chauffante soit en contact étroit avec la paroi interne du profilé (1). On se choisira donc, pour la section transversale de la résistance chauffante, des dimensions qui permettent à la résistance chauffante, laquelle se présente sous la forme d'un ruban, d'être encastrée de façon intime dans le profilé creux (1).The device shown, in part, in the attached figure and which constitutes an embodiment given by way of example, consists of a metal profile (1) of generally square section, inside which is mounted a electric heating resistance (2). The heating resistor (2 'is of the type which comprises two metallic conductors (3) embedded in a semiconductor material (4). It is important that the heating resistor is in close contact with the internal wall of the profile (1). therefore, for the cross section of the heating resistor, dimensions will be chosen which allow the heating resistor, which is in the form of a ribbon, to be fitted intimately into the hollow profile (1).
Ce profilé doit présenter une surface de conduction de chaleur suffisamment grande pour transmettre sa chaleur au chassis (5'. Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, le profilé (1) présente au moins une aile longitudinale (6' percée d'orifices(7' pour le passage de vis de serrage (8). Ces vis peuvent pénétrer aisément dans des orifices ménagés à cet effet dans le châssis (5). En général il est suffisant de prévoir une seule aile longitudinale (6), mais il est évident, qu'en fonction du châssis (5) et donc du profilé qui doit s'y adapter plus d'une aile longitudinale (6) pourrait être prévue.This profile must have a heat conduction surface large enough to transmit its heat to the chassis (5 '. In an advantageous embodiment, the profile (1) has at the minus a longitudinal wing (6 'pierced with holes (7' for the passage of clamping screws (8). These screws can easily penetrate into holes provided for this purpose in the chassis (5). In general it is sufficient to provide a single longitudinal wing (6), but it is obvious that depending on the frame (5) and therefore the profile which must adapt more than one longitudinal wing (6) could be provided.
La chaleur développée par la résistance chauffante (21 se transmet, par conduction, au profilé creux (1). Il est donc important de réaliser un contact aussi étroit que possible,d'une partentre la résistance chauffante (2) et le profilé (1) et d'autre part, entre ce profilé (1) et le profilé constitué par le châssis (5).The heat developed by the heating resistor (21 is transmitted by conduction to the hollow profile (1). It is therefore important to make as close a contact as possible, on the one hand between the heating resistor (2) and the profile (1 ) and on the other hand, between this profile (1) and the profile formed by the frame (5).
Quoique le profilé (1) ait été représenté comme étant de section carrée, il est entendu que celui-ci peut être de section rectangulaire. Qu'il pourrait aussi être ouvert du côté où il entre en contact avec le chassis (5), qui peut présenter intérieurement tout relief par lequel la résistance chauffante (2) peut être maitenue en contact étroit avec le châssis sur lequel apparaît le phénomène de condensation dont on désire combattre les effets en réchauffant cet élément du châssis.Although the profile (1) has been shown to be of square section, it is understood that it may be of rectangular section. That it could also be opened on the side where it comes into contact with the chassis (5), which can internally present any relief by which the heating resistor (2) can be maintained in close contact with the chassis on which the phenomenon of condensation whose effects we wish to combat by heating this element of the chassis.
Il est évident également que le dispositif peut être appliqué en tout endroit voulu d'un châssis et que, s'il est aisé de le fixer à l'extérieur du châssis, en considérant bien entendu le côté intérieur de celui-ci, c.à.d. le côté sur lequel se développe la condensation, le profilé muni d'une résistance chauffante pourrait également être monté à l'intérieur du profilé lorsque la chose est techniquement réalisable.It is also obvious that the device can be applied at any desired location on a chassis and that, if it is easy to fix it outside the chassis, considering of course the interior side thereof, c. to.d. the side on which the condensation develops, the profile provided with a heating resistance could also be mounted inside the profile when the thing is technically feasible.
Il est de plus entendu que l'inven-. tion n'est pas limitée à la forme d'exécution qui vient d'en être décrite à titre d'exemple et que bien des modifications pourraient être apportées sans sortir du cadre de la présente demande de brevet.It is further understood that the invention. tion is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described by way of example and that many modifications could be made without departing from the scope of this patent application.
Dans une forme de réalisation différente de celle qui vient d'être décrite à titre d'exemple, l'élément chauffant est une conduite de fluide chaud.In a different embodiment from that which has just been described by way of example, the heating element is a hot fluid pipe.
Il est également possible de disposer dans le profilé(l)une conduite contenant un liquide présentant une grande inertie thermique. Dans ce cas, la conduite en question est mise en contact avec la résistance(21.It is also possible to have in the profile (l) a pipe containing a liquid having a high thermal inertia. In this case, the pipe in question is brought into contact with the resistor (21.
Une conduite d'eau chaude dérivée, par exemple d'un radiateur peut faire office d'élément chauffant. Le châssis réchauffé ne présentera plus les inconvénients dus à la condensation lorsque la température extérieure tombe au niveau qui provoque ce phénomène.A derivative hot water pipe, for example a radiator, can act as a heating element. The heated chassis will no longer have the disadvantages due to condensation when the outside temperature drops to the level which causes this phenomenon.
Le profilé (1) décrit dans l'exemple donné, pourrait être constitué de matière synthétique et présenter n'importe quelle section. Le même profilé pourrait être autocollant et la résistance chauffante utilisée pourrait être interrompue c'est-à-dire n'être utilisée qu'en certains endroits déterminés. De même, le profilé peut n'équiper que certaines parties du châssis.The profile (1) described in the example given, could be made of synthetic material and have any section. The same profile could be self-adhesive and the heating resistor used could be interrupted, that is to say only be used in certain determined places. Similarly, the profile may only equip certain parts of the chassis.
Enfin, la résistance électrique pourrait être disposée à l'intérieur du profilé formant châssis; cette résistance peut en toutes circonstances être du type autorégulant ou être commandée par un thermostat.Finally, the electrical resistance could be placed inside the profile forming a chassis; this resistance can in all circumstances be of the self-regulating type or be controlled by a thermostat.
