Definitions
- This invention relates to a forced-convection air heater element for clothes dryers.
- Known clothes dryers comprise an external cabinet for containing the clothes to be dried by a hot air jet. This jet is obtained by passing an air stream through a feed duct containing a resistance heater element.
- EP-A-O 320 966 describes a heater unit comprising one or more resistance elements completely embedded in a diecast aluminium block, preferably provided with radiant fins which are grazed by the air stream to be heated.
- This known heater unit has proved satisfactory in that it offers a large heat transfer surface enabling a good heating effect to be obtained for a small overall size, and can moreover be produced in a single diecasting process.
- the metal continuity between the electrical resistance element and the diecast alloy necessary to support the radiant element means that the cabinet to which the heater element is fixed reaches a high temperature.
- the present invention provides a heater unit for air flows which is thermally insulated towards the outside and thus allows high-temperature operation, with a correspondingly reduced overall size.
- the heater element according to the invention comprises a metal box casing 1 of essentially parallelepiped shape, with a perimetral wall 2 and two covers 3, 3'.
- a perimetral wall 2 In said perimetral wall 2 there are two apertures 4 and 5 for air entry and exit respectively, and provided with connection pieces 6 for connection to external ducts (not shown).
- armoured resistance elements 7 arranged parallel to each other and inclined to the larger sides 8 of said wall.
- the two resistance elements, the ends of which pass through the minor sides 9 of the wall 2 are traditional armoured resistance elements, ie provided with an outer sheath 10 and a coaxial resistor 11 insulated from said sheath by a dielectric.
- a multiple radiator 13 is fitted to the two resistance elements 7, it consisting of a plurality of parallel zig-zag fins 14 of height slightly less than the wall 2.
- the two resistance elements 7 are placed in a mould with a cavity corresponding to the radiator 13 and the perimetral wall 2, and once enclosed within this mould a molten aluminium alloy is injected into the mould to form the diecast radiator incorporating the two resistance elements 7, and the perimetral wall 2, which is joined to said radiator by a plurality of feedheads. These are then removed by conventional methods during finishing, so that at the end of the process the radiator applied to the resistance element is joined to the perimetral wall 2 only at the ends of resistance elements.
- the high temperature of the electrical resistance element 7 produces a substantially lower temperature at the casing 1, which is also kept continually cooled by the passage of air to be heated.
- the air stream to be heated transverses the armoured resistance element 7 transversely, thus encountering a large flow cross-section.
- the resultant low pressure drop means that the radiator 13 can be formed with a large number of fins 14 and hence with a large heat transfer surface, which itself means that the working temperature of the resistance elements remains very high, enabling the overall dimensions of the entire heater element to be reduced for equal transmitted thermal energy.
- this side is covered at the inside with a metal sheet screen 15 extending along the whole length of the side 8.
- this covering screen 16 can be realized in diecast aluminium during the same moulding step when the radiator and the casing are prepared (see fig. 16).
- baffle 17 is foreseen, bound to the ends of the radiator 13 and obtained during the same moulding step thereof.
- a plurality of little cylinders 19 are fitted to the support 12 of the resistance elements 7, even made of diecast aluminium, which forms a "devious" run for the air which transverses the resistance elements 7.
- This embodiment allows to reduce the constructional costs thank to the lesser quantity of aluminium used, even increasing the heat exchange.
- the resistance elements 7 are parallel each other to and are embedded in a radiator formed by a plate 20 and a plurality of longitudinal vertical ribs 21, placed under and on the plate 20.
- This plate 20 divides the casing 1 into two superimposed zones 22,22', respectively communicating with the entry aperture 4 and the exit aperture 5.
- the plate 20 is provided with a plurality of apertures 23 for the passage of the air to be heated. Also in this embodiment the lower surface of the casing which in struck by the heated air is covered with a metal sheet plate.
