Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Heizgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches.The invention relates to a heater according to the preamble of the independent claim.

Solche Heizgeräte sind so ausgelegt, daß sie an eine nach oben führende kombinierte Luft-Abgasleitung angeschlossen werden. In manchen Fällen ergibt sich jedoch die Notwendigkeit, bzw. der Kundenwunsch, ein solches Heizgerät an eine im wesentlichen waagerecht wegführende kombinierte Luft-Abgasleitung anschließen zu müssen, um größere bauliche Veränderungen vermeiden zu können, wenn z. B. Gerät im Wandschrank eingebaut ist oder oberhalb des Gerätes nicht genügend Platz für einen Rohrbogen ist. Dazu ist es jedoch erforderlich, das Heizgerät in einem nicht unbeträchtlichen Ausmaß umzubauen.Such heaters are designed to be connected to an upwardly leading combined air exhaust conduit. In some cases, however, there is the need, or the customer, to have to connect such a heater to a substantially horizontally leading away combined air exhaust pipe in order to avoid major structural changes when z. B. Device is installed in the closet or above the device is not enough space for a pipe bend. However, it is necessary to rebuild the heater to a not inconsiderable extent.

Aus der GB-A-2022792 ist bekannt, dass mittels eines separaten Anschlusskastens und mindestens zweier unterschiedlicher Abgasleitungen innerhalb des Anschlusskastens die Richtung der Austrittsöffnung geändert werden kann.From GB-A-2022792 it is known that by means of a separate junction box and at least two different exhaust pipes within the junction box, the direction of the outlet opening can be changed.

Die EP-A1-323921 zeigt ein Heizgerät, bei dem die Abgasaustrittsöffnung mittels Verdrehen des Abgasgebläses verändert werden kann.EP-A1-323921 shows a heater in which the exhaust gas outlet opening can be changed by turning the exhaust fan.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Heizgerät der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, das sich ohne größeren Aufwand wahlweise an eine waagerecht oder vertikal wegführende kombinierte Luft-Abgasleitung anschließen läßt.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to propose a heater of the type mentioned, which can be connected without much effort either to a horizontally or vertically leading away combined air exhaust pipe.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einem Heizgerät der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht.This is achieved according to the invention in a heater of the type mentioned by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen kann der Anschluß außer über den an der Oberseite der Unterdruckkammer vorgesehenen Anschlußstutzen auch über die Rückwand der Unterdruckkammer erfolgen. Dazu ist es lediglich erforderlich, den Deckel, z.B. nach dem Lösen und Entfernen von Befestigungselementen, von der Öffnung in der Rückwand abzunehmen und den losen Anschlußstutzen im Bereich der Öffnung zu montieren. Weiter muß nur das Gebläse demontiert und in einer um 90° gedrehten Lage wieder an einem Abgassammler des Heizgerätes montiert werden. Danach kann der Anschluß in gewohnter Weise erfolgen und der Anschlußstutzen an der Oberseite der Unterdruckkammer mit dem entsprechenden Deckel verschlossen werden.The proposed measures, the connection can also be made via the provided on the top of the vacuum chamber connecting piece via the rear wall of the vacuum chamber. For this it is only necessary to remove the lid, e.g. after loosening and removing fasteners, remove it from the opening in the rear panel and mount the loose connection piece in the area of the opening. Next, only the blower must be dismantled and mounted in a rotated position by 90 ° back to an exhaust manifold of the heater. Thereafter, the connection can be made in the usual way and the connection piece can be closed at the top of the vacuum chamber with the corresponding lid.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 2 kann auf einfache Weise ein relativ hohes Maß an Dichtheit des Abschlusses des Anschlußstutzens erreicht werden.Due to the features of claim 2, a relatively high degree of tightness of the termination of the connecting piece can be achieved in a simple manner.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 3 ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß der Deckel die Bautiefe des Heizgerätes praktisch nicht beeinflußt.Due to the features of claim 3, there is the advantage that the lid practically does not affect the depth of the heater.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 schematisch ein erfindungsgemäßes Heizgerät mit vertikal verlaufender kombinierter Luft-Abgasleitung und
  • Fig. 2 schematisch ein erfindungsgemäßes Heizgerät mit waagerecht verlaufender kombinierter Luft-Abgasleitung.
