Definitions
- This invention relates to a thermal limiting device and in particular, though not exclusively, to such a device for use in heating apparatus of the kind described in our co-pending European Patent Application No. 83307338.0 incorporating one or more sources of-infra-red radiation, in the form of tungsten-halogen lamps.
- a shallow tray member containing thermally-insulative material and supporting four infra-red-emitting, tungsten-halogen lamps.
- the tray member usually along with a number of similar members, is preferably mounted beneath a layer of glass ceramic so as to form a cooking hob.
- the heating apparatus incorporates a thermal limiter comprising a metallic wire enclosed within a quartz tube.
- the wire is arranged, in use, to activate a microswitch when the maximum operating temperature of the glass ceramic is reached so as to disconnect the power supply to the infra-red lamps.
- the limiter in order to render the limiter responsive primarily to the actual temperature of the glass ceramic, is preferably shielded from incident infra-red radiation, which may be, for example, directly from the infra-red lamps or reflected from a shiny, reflective base of a cooking utensil placed on the upper surface of the glass ceramic.
- a thermal limiting device for controlling power supplied to one or more sources of infra-red radiation mounted in heating apparatus, said device including a metallic wire member accommodated within a tubular member, said wire member being arranged, when subjected to a predetermined temperature, to disconnect the supply of said power to said source or sources, characterised in that said tubular member is capable of selectively transmitting and absorbing infra-red radiation of different wavelengths, and said device further includes a thermally-conductive tubular structure located between said tubular member and said wire member, said tubular structure being provided with an infra-red-reflective outer surface to prevent infra-red radiation transmitted through said tubular member from reaching said wire member.
- the tubular structure is made from a suitable metallic material, and is preferably concentric with the metallic wire within the tubular member.
- the tubular structure is also preferably coated on its outer surface with a suitable infra-red reflective coating.
- the tubular member of the device is preferably made from a-quartz material, which transmits reflected, and directly incident, infra-red radiation in a first band of wavelengths emitted from the source or sources, preferably tungsten-halogen lamps, and this transmitted radiation is subsequently reflected back out of the tubular member by the infra-red reflective outer surface of the tubular structure.
- the Figure shows heating apparatus including a generally circular metallic tray 1 having a layer 2 of thermally-insulative material disposed therewithin.
- Two oppositely-extending flanges, 3 and 4, of the tray 1 support four infra-red-em-itting, tungsten-halogen lamps, 5 to 8, disposed in a parallel arrangement across the circular region of the tray 1.
- a moulding 9 of ceramic fibre material is press-fitted around the ends of the lamps 5 to 8, and the apparatus, preferably together with three similar apparatuses, is mounted beneath a layer of glass ceramic (not shown) to form a cooking hob.
- a thermal limiting device shown at 10, is located within the heating apparatus, either below or at the same level as the lamps 5 to 8.
- the device 10 consists of a metallic wire 11, preferably formed from a nickel alloy known as Hastelloy X, disposed within a quartz tube 12.
- the wire 11 is arranged to activate microswitch 13 when the maximum operating temperature of the glass ceramic is attained.
- a metallic tube 14 preferably made from stainless steel, is disposed within the quartz tube 12, around and concentric with the wire 11.
- the tube 14 is coated on its outer surface with an infra-red reflective coating, which may, for example, consist of a nickel flash followed by a gold coating of 1-5 ⁇ m thickness.
- an infra-red reflective coating which may, for example, consist of a nickel flash followed by a gold coating of 1-5 ⁇ m thickness.
- infra-red-reflective coatings which may be employed are disclosed in our copending European Patent Application No. 84306455.1
- a spider support arrangement (not shown), constructed from a suitable material, may be provided within the quartz tube 12, so as to space the metallic tube 14 from the quartz tube 12 in a controllable manner.
- radiation in a first band of wavelengths of approximately 0.15-3 ⁇ m which is reflected, for example, from a shiny base of a cooking utensil disposed upon the glass ceramic or incident directly from the infra-red lamps, is transmitted through the quartz tube 12 and subsequently reflected back out therefrom by the reflective coating on the tube 14, so that the wire 11 within the tube 14 remains unresponsive to radiation of these wavelengths.
- the thermal limiting device in accordance with the present invention, is therefore primarily responsive to radiation absorbed by and re-radiated from the glass ceramic, which radiation is indicative of the actual temperature of the glass ceramic, thereby enabling the device to monitor accurately the operating temperature thereof.
