Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heating device with a cladding according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • heating devices hereinafter referred to as heating elements or bathroom heating elements
  • heating elements which have two vertically oriented collecting pipes and a large number of horizontally oriented heating pipes connected to these collecting pipes in terms of flow technology.
  • radiators or bathroom radiators have the disadvantage, inter alia, from an aesthetic point of view that the connection area and, if appropriate, the control area in these radiators are freely accessible to the viewer.
  • the otherwise very advantageous appearance of such a radiator is permanently clouded by the connection fittings and any electrical heating devices, such as an electrical resistance heating element, together with the control, inlet valves, etc., which are often arranged at the lower end region of the said radiator.
  • temperature sensors, temperature display instruments, etc. are unclad and unprotected, and are often arranged at the lower end of such a heating element as described above and can easily be damaged, for example when cleaning.
  • radiators which are arranged one behind the other in the form of one or more heating plates, such radiators generally using connecting elements are welded to one another by pressing the radiators together at a high pressure and melting the material by the flow of high electrical currents in the connection areas in order to form an intimate connection.
  • radiators are increasingly becoming aesthetically appealing design elements.
  • they are also used as textile dryers, for example towel dryers, which are accordingly designed with one or more throw-through possibilities.
  • Such radiators have the disadvantage, however, that aesthetically designed radiators have a relatively small radiation area for a sufficient heat output for a room of a given dimension.
  • corresponding heating elements for example bathroom heating elements, must have large external dimensions in order to provide sufficient heat output, or they must be supported by additional heating options, for example underfloor heating.
  • a heating device with a cladding or a cladding for a heating device should be proposed, which protects the lower region of a radiator or bathroom radiator both from the view of an observer and from mechanical influences. This object is achieved by a heating device with the features listed in claim 1.
  • the invention can also be directed to the problem of proposing a radiator arrangement which remedies the disadvantages of the prior art and, in particular, is intended to provide a heating device which is aesthetically pleasing and has sufficient heating output in the smallest possible space provides.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible, for example, to hide and at the same time protect unattractive connection fittings, valve devices, electrical connections for heating elements, etc., which on the one hand enables greater operational reliability and on the other hand a much improved overall appearance for a corresponding heating element.
  • the likelihood of injuring sharp-edged profiles in the connection area of a radiator is greatly reduced. Accordingly, it is particularly expedient to provide the cladding on the connection section of the heating device, in particular on the lower end section of the heating body or the heating device.
  • the cladding advantageously has an upper cover surface which has the same extension in the direction of the broad side of the header tubes as the front surface. This not only prevents an insight from above, but also prevents, for example, dust, etc. from penetrating and lying on a resistance heating element or its electrical connections that may be present, which can lead to considerable sources of danger, particularly in bathrooms, since in These rooms often also contain easily combustible fabric components, for example cotton thread or the like.
  • the cladding can be provided with side surfaces which are arranged on the narrow sides of the front surfaces and which are preferably angled at an angle to the front surface, so that the side surfaces conform to the contour of the collecting tube or the collecting tubes in the depth of the Heater connects or adjusts. This also prevents a side view of the area to be shielded from the heating device according to the invention.
  • the cover surface or the side surface or side surfaces can have recesses, openings or the like, in particular in order to guide the collecting tubes through them.
  • the danger that people who are in the area of the heating element or bathroom heating element designed in this way is injured is considerably reduced, since all angular parts of a heating element are covered and gaps etc. can form a source of danger, can be largely avoided with the cladding formed in this way.
  • the advantages to be achieved according to the present invention can also be based on the fact that a tubular heating element with horizontal and / or vertical heating tubes and corresponding vertical or horizontal or horizontal collecting tubes with a tubular heating element or a flat heating element are combined. In this case, due to manufacturing tolerances, angular deviations of 3 to 6 ° occur between the radiators arranged in parallel, which cannot be managed with an acceptable result using conventional manufacturing methods.
  • While flat radiators can be produced by deforming metal sheets, tubular radiators can be produced by welding or soldering pipes together.
  • Flat radiators and plan radiators are transported via roller port routes transported from one manufacturing station to the next manufacturing station and the welding machines used to connect the preformed sheets set at least ten welding spots per square decimeter of the radiator surface, which are not infrequently leaky.
  • tubular heaters are not suitable for transport through the roller conveyor sections that are used for flat heaters, it is almost impossible to manufacture different types of heaters using the same manufacturing methods and manufacturing machines.
  • the automatic welding machines that are used for the production of the weld seams of the flat radiators or plate radiators are not suitable for tubular radiators, since it is hardly possible to produce a closed 360 ° covering weld seam when welding tubes, which also aesthetic considerations are sufficient.
  • Heating devices with two radiators arranged one behind the other can be implemented particularly advantageously if they have an essentially continuous cladding between them.
  • the covering can cover the entire rear radiator or selected sections of the rear radiator.
  • the cladding can clad connecting fittings, thermostatic valve, etc. and similar components, which are provided at the lower end of the heating device according to the invention and via which a connection to a central heating system can be made.
  • the cladding can have ornaments, recesses and projections in order to leave a visually harmonious impression and / or to offer a specific heat radiation characteristic. If a part of the cladding is mentioned below or as an example, the technical features listed in this connection are to be seen as extremely advantageous, also in connection with the cladding discussed above.
  • soldering process for tubular heaters.
  • a soldering process that works with copper solder has proven particularly useful, since copper pulls into all connection points due to its high capillary pressure and provides an ideal connection both in terms of stability and tightness as well as in terms of the practicability of the production process.
  • radiators of the arrangement can be colored differently. While in the prior art radiators, which are welded to one another, for example, could only be designed in one piece as an arrangement in one piece, according to the invention each of the radiators of the arrangement can be colored individually, the radiators later having to be connected to one another.
  • connecting elements are advantageously required that have a construction that accommodates manufacturing tolerances.
  • Such connecting elements for the heating device according to the invention have a first and a second connection area, each of which can be fixed in one of the heating elements of the arrangement.
  • the relevant connection areas can each be screwed in, fixed via sleeves or fastened in some other way.
  • connection area can have an at least partially flat first plane surface running perpendicular to the axis of the first and / or second connection area.
  • the second connection area has a corresponding second flat surface, a sealing element, for example an O-ring, between the flat surfaces. can be arranged.
  • one of the two flat surfaces advantageously has smaller dimensions or a smaller diameter than the other flat surface.
  • the O-ring can accommodate further tolerances by being pressed differently.
  • connection element connecting the two flat surfaces and thus the connection areas also has different internal dimensions or a different inner diameter than at least one of the flat surfaces.
  • at least one of the connection areas can be misaligned within the limits specified by the connecting element, as a result of which additional tolerances can be absorbed.
  • Additional degrees of freedom can be achieved in that the diameter or the dimensions of the flange area of at least one of the two connection areas, which are assigned to the plane surfaces, change in the axial direction.
  • a groove can advantageously be arranged in the flat surface, which partially accommodates the sealing element.
  • sealing devices can also be arranged on the respective outer diameters or outer sections of the connection areas, which sealing seals are pressed, for example, when the connection areas are inserted or screwed into the respectively assigned heating elements.
  • O-rings can be viewed as an advantageous sealant.
  • the connecting elements described are mounted on the corner regions of the respective radiators of the radiator arrangement according to the invention.
  • two, three or more than four of the connecting elements described or the connecting elements described below or different connecting elements described here can also be used in a corresponding manner.
  • the panel according to the invention is advantageously made of a non-conductive or poorly conductive material, preferably plastic.
  • the cladding extends beyond the extent of the heating device or the band heater body and / or forms a receiving space for heating and / or control devices, for example a thermostatically controlled resistance heating element, an automatic mixing and control heating device which issues an electric heating device or regulates its output , as soon as a sufficiently hot heat transfer medium is supplied via a central heating system.
  • a thermostatically controlled resistance heating element for example a thermostatically controlled resistance heating element, an automatic mixing and control heating device which issues an electric heating device or regulates its output , as soon as a sufficiently hot heat transfer medium is supplied via a central heating system.
  • a control device in the heating device according to the invention or behind the cladding, can be concealed, which has at least one temperature measuring device and at least one regulating device for controlling an energy flow, in particular an electric current, which cannot be converted into heating power, with an electric heater. preferably an electric heating element or an electric heating cartridge, wherein at least one throttle device for controlling or stopping the flow of the heating medium can be arranged in the inflow and / or outflow of the heating device.
  • the circuit can open, throttle or interrupt the supply and / or return of the heating medium from or to a central heating system by means of the throttle device as a function of a preset target or target room temperature for the heating device and as a function of the temperature of the heating medium, the desired or target room temperature should preferably be felt at the inlet of the heating device and the inlet and / or return of the heating medium can be controlled by means of the throttle device to and from the central heating system when the inlet ⁇ temperature falls below a predetermined temperature value.
  • This configuration makes it possible to ensure a mixed central heating and heating cartridge operation for a heating device according to the invention in transitional periods.
  • This configuration also makes it possible to partially or completely shut off the heating device according to the invention from the central heating system.
  • the heating device according to the invention to be temperature-controlled can then be heated solely by the heating cartridge located in the heating device and the risk of heating neighboring rooms via connected lines and remote heating elements is eliminated. Unnecessary energy losses are also avoided.
  • the correct operating mode can be selected automatically, providing additional security. This is particularly important if the cladding is made from a possibly combustible plastic which warps or even catches fire if temperatures are too high, for example if a heating element is not or poorly controlled.
