Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische, explosionsgeschützte Heizung, insbesondere zur Innenraumbeheizung eines Instrumenten-Schutzschranks nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electric, explosion-proof heating, in particular for heating the interior of an instrument protective cabinet according to the preamble of claim 1.

Allgemein ist von einer solchen explosionsgeschützten Heizung zu fordern, dass sie bei guter Effektivität wenig Raum beansprucht, an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten anpassbar ist, eine eingestellte Temperatur möglichst genau geregelt einhält und Schutzvorschriften hinsichtlich eines Berührungsschutzes und eines Explosionsschutzes eingehalten werden.In general, such an explosion-proof heater requires that it requires little space with good effectiveness, that it can be adapted to different conditions, that a set temperature be controlled as precisely as possible, and that protection regulations with regard to contact protection and explosion protection be maintained.

Eine bekannte, gattungsgemäße Heizung ( DE 38 14 145 C2 ) umfasst einen Heizkörper mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung, ein Heizelement und eine dazu in Reihe geschaltete Übertemperatursicherung mit einer bestimmten Ansprechtemperatur, wobei das Heizelement in die Aufnahmeöffnung eingesetzt und vergossen ist. Das Heizelement und die in Reihe geschaltete Übertemperatursicherung sind über elektrische Anschlussleitungen mit einem Temperaturregler verbunden, an den zudem ein Umgebungs-Temperaturfühler als Istwertgeber angeschlossen ist.A known, generic heating ( DE 38 14 145 C2 ) comprises a radiator having a receiving opening, a heating element and an over-temperature fuse connected thereto in series with a specific response temperature, wherein the heating element is inserted into the receiving opening and encapsulated. The heating element and the series-connected overtemperature protection are connected via electrical connection cables to a temperature controller to which an ambient temperature sensor is also connected as an actual value transmitter.

Solche Heizungen sind den konkreten Einsatzbedingungen so anzupassen und so zu dimensionieren, dass bei einem temperaturgeregelten Betrieb durch den Explosionsschutz vorgegebene Grenztemperaturen nicht überschritten werden. Bei ungünstigen Gegebenheiten und einem Zusammenwirken ungünstiger Randbedingungen sind aber insbesondere bei einem Überschwingen der Temperaturregelung ohne Zusatzmaßnahmen unzulässige Überhitzungen an der Heizung nicht auszuschließen. Um dennoch Explosionsschutzvorschriften sicher einhalten zu können, unterbrechen in einem solchen Fall die vorstehend genannten Übertemperatursicherungen den elektrischen Heizkreis. Bisher werden als Übertemperatursicherungen reversible Schaltelemente verwendet, die nach einem Ansprechen in ihre Sicherungsfunktion wieder rücksetzbar sind. Es sind auch von Hand wechselbare Schmelzsicherungen bekannt.Such heaters are the specific conditions of use to be adapted and dimensioned so that in a temperature-controlled operation by the explosion protection specified limit temperatures are not exceeded. In unfavorable conditions and a combination of unfavorable boundary conditions, however, excessive overheating of the heater can not be ruled out, especially in the event of overshoot of the temperature control without additional measures. Nevertheless, in order to be able to safely comply with explosion protection regulations, the above-mentioned overtemperature safeguards interrupt the electrical heating circuit in such a case. So far, reversible switching elements are used as overtemperature fuses, which are resettable after a response in their backup function. There are also known by hand exchangeable fuses.

Nach dem Ansprechen einer Übertemperatursicherung kann diese bisher einfach und schnell durch ein Rücksetzen der Sicherung oder einen Sicherungsaustausch in ihrer Funktion wieder hergestellt werden.After the response of an overtemperature protection, this can be easily and quickly restored by resetting the fuse or a fuse replacement in their function.

Gemäß neuer Richtlinien sind mit Übergangsfristen bei vergussgekapselten Heizungen nur noch Schmelzsicherungen als Übertemperatursicherungen zulässig. Im Anspruch 1 wird von einem solchen Stand der Technik ausgegangen.According to new directives, with transitional periods in case of encapsulated heaters, only fuses are permitted as overtemperature fuses. In claim 1 is based on such a prior art.

Ersichtlich ist bei einer solchen miteingegossenen Schmelzsicherung nach deren Ansprechen ein Rücksetzen der Sicherung oder ein Austausch nicht mehr möglich, so dass dann ein kostenintensiver Komplettaustausch einer solchen Heizung erforderlich wird.It is evident that with such a miteingegossenen fuse after their response resetting the fuse or replacement is no longer possible, so that then a costly complete replacement of such a heater is required.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Maßnahmen vorzuschlagen, womit ein solcher Komplettaustausch für die Heizung in der Regel vermeidbar ist.The object of the invention is to propose measures with which such a complete replacement for the heating is usually avoidable.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 ist im Bereich der Schmelzsicherung ein Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler angeordnet und mit in die Aufnahmeöffnung eingegossen. Der Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler ist mit Anschlussleitungen mit dem Temperaturregler verbunden. Mit diesem Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler wird die aktuelle Temperatur der Schmelzsicherung für einen Vergleich mit einer im Temperaturregler festgelegten Umschalttemperatur ermittelbar. Diese Umschalttemperatur wird so gewählt, dass sie in einem ausreichenden Sicherheits-Temperaturabstand unterhalb der Ansprechtemperatur der Schmelzsicherung liegt.According to claim 1, a fuse temperature sensor is arranged in the region of the fuse and cast with in the receiving opening. The fuse temperature sensor is connected with connecting cables to the temperature controller. This fuse temperature sensor can be used to determine the current temperature of the fuse for comparison with a changeover temperature set in the temperature controller. This switching temperature is selected so that it lies within a sufficient safety temperature distance below the response temperature of the fuse.

Der Temperaturregler ist so ausgelegt, dass er in einem Temperaturbereich unterhalb der vorgegebenen und mit dem Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler ermittelbaren Umschalttemperatur in üblicher Weise in einem ersten Regelalgorithmus unter Einbeziehung des Umgebungs-Temperaturfühlers als Istwertgeber arbeitet. Ein Erreichen und/oder Überschreiten dieser vorgegebenen Umschalttemperatur wird vom Temperaturregler durch Auswertung der Fühlerwerte des Sicherungs-Temperaturfühlers erkannt, worauf der Temperaturregler in einen anderen zweiten Regelalgorithmus umschaltet und zum Schutz der Schmelzsicherung die Heizleistung des Heizelements abregelt. Nach einem darauffolgenden Unterschreiten der Umschalttemperatur, gegebenenfalls mit einem im Regelalgorithmus vorgebbaren Unterschreitungsabstand, schaltet dann der Temperaturregler wieder auf den ersten Regelalgorithmus um.The temperature controller is designed so that it works in a temperature range below the predetermined and can be determined with the fuse temperature sensor switching temperature in a conventional manner in a first control algorithm, including the ambient temperature sensor as an actual value. A reaching and / or exceeding this predetermined switching temperature is detected by the temperature controller by evaluating the sensor values of the fuse temperature sensor, whereupon the temperature controller switches to another second control algorithm and de-regulates the heating power of the heating element to protect the fuse. After a subsequent undershooting of the switching temperature, optionally with a predeterminable in the control algorithm underflow distance, then the temperature controller switches back to the first control algorithm.

Die Umschalttemperatur ist dabei so zu wählen, dass auch bei ungünstigen Verhältnissen, beispielsweise bei einem möglichen Überschwingen der Temperaturregelung nach dem ersten Regelalgorithmus bei einer initialen Aufheizphase mit noch nicht eingeschwungener Temperatur, die Ansprechtemperatur der Schmelzsicherung aufgrund der Abregelung der Heizleistung des Heizelements sicher nicht erreicht wird.The switching temperature is to be chosen so that even with unfavorable conditions, for example in a possible overshoot of the temperature control according to the first control algorithm at an initial heating phase with not yet steady temperature, the response temperature of the fuse due to the reduction of the heating power of the heating element is certainly not reached ,

Damit wird auch bei ungünstigen Betriebsbedingungen ein Ansprechen und damit eine Zerstörung der eingegossenen Schmelzsicherung verhindert. Die Funktion der Heizung bleibt erhalten, wobei lediglich in der Regel unschädliche, etwas größere Aufheizzeiten auftreten können. Die Funktion der Schmelzsicherung als übergeordnetes Explosionsschutz-Sicherungselement wird durch den zusätzlichen Einsatz des Sicherungs-Temperaturfühlers und der modifizierten Regelung nicht angetastet und bleibt in jedem Fall erhalten, so dass bei besonders extremen Bedingungen durch ein Ansprechen der Schmelzsicherung die Explosionsschutzvorschriften in jedem Fall eingehalten werden.This prevents a response and thus destruction of the cast fuse even under unfavorable operating conditions. The Function of the heating is maintained, with only harmless, slightly larger heating times can usually occur. The function of the fuse as a higher-level explosion protection fuse element is not affected by the additional use of the fuse temperature sensor and the modified control and is retained in any case, so that under particularly extreme conditions by a response of the fuse the explosion protection regulations are observed in any case.

Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung bei allen üblichen Bedingungen ein den Explosionsvorschriften genügender Heizungsbetrieb gewährleistet ist, da ein Ansprechen von vorgeschriebenen Übertemperatursicherungen schon im Vorfeld durch einen Abregelungsalgorithmus verhindert wird. Kontrollen, wie sie beim Stand der Technik bisher erforderlich sind, ob solche Übertemperatursicherungen angesprochen haben können weitgehend entfallen ebenso wie kostenintensive Austauschaktionen für komplette Heizungen. Die dazu erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen erfordern demgegenüber nur einen geringen Mehraufwand bei der Herstellung erfindungsgemäßer Heizungen.In summary, it should be noted that with the arrangement according to the invention under all normal conditions a sufficient explosion regulations heating operation is guaranteed, since a response of prescribed over-temperature protection is already prevented in advance by a Abregelungsalgorithm. Controls, as they have been required in the prior art, whether such over-temperature fuses have addressed can largely account for as well as costly replacement actions for complete heaters. In contrast, the measures proposed according to the invention require only a small additional expenditure in the production of heating systems according to the invention.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 kann die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung bevorzugt in einem an sich bekannten Heizkörper installiert werden, der als langgestreckter Körper mit einem axialen Aufnahmeraum und radial abstehenden Heizlamellen ausgebildet ist.According to claim 2, the arrangement according to the invention can preferably be installed in a radiator known per se, which is designed as an elongate body with an axial receiving space and radially projecting heating fins.

Für eine gute Wärmeleitung wird ein solcher Heizkörper nach Anspruch 3 vorzugsweise aus Metall hergestellt. Dazu ist es bekannt, den Heizkörper insgesamt als Gussteil herzustellen oder wie in der DE 38 14 145 C2 beschrieben, die Lamellen separat herzustellen und an einem Basiskörper zu befestigen.For a good heat conduction, such a radiator according to claim 3 is preferably made of metal. For this it is known to produce the radiator as a whole casting or as in the DE 38 14 145 C2 described to manufacture the lamellae separately and to attach to a base body.

Nach Anspruch 4 kann als Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler ein kostengünstiger NTC-Widerstand verwendet werden.According to claim 4 can be used as a fuse temperature sensor, a cost NTC resistor.

Für übliche Einsätze ist es ausreichend die Umschalttemperatur in der Regelschaltung fest vorzugeben. Eine bessere Anpassung an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten ist nach Anspruch 5 möglich, wenn die Umschalttemperatur am Temperaturregler einstellbar ist. Auch bei einer solchen einstellbaren Umschalttemperatur wird die übergeordnete Sicherheitsfunktion der eingegossenen Schmelzsicherung nicht berührt.For normal applications, it is sufficient to specify the switching temperature in the control circuit. A better adaptation to different conditions is possible according to claim 5, when the switching temperature is adjustable on the temperature controller. Even with such an adjustable switching temperature, the overall safety function of the cast fuse is not affected.

Für übliche Anwendungsfälle können die Regelalgorithmen fest vorgegeben werden. Nach Anspruch 6 ist es für weitere Anpassungen unter Umständen zweckmäßig, den Regelalgorithmus für den Temperaturbereich unter der Umschalttemperatur und/oder den Regelalgorithmus für den Bereich über der Umschalttemperatur einstellbar zu machen.For standard applications, the control algorithms can be fixed. According to claim 6, it may be appropriate for further adjustments to make the control algorithm for the temperature range below the switching temperature and / or the control algorithm for the range above the switching temperature adjustable.

Mit dem Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler 11 kann die aktuelle Temperatur der Übertemperatursicherung 6 für einen Vergleich mit einer vorgegebenen Umschalttemperatur ermittelt werden, wobei die Umschalttemperatur mit einem Sicherheits-Temperaturabstand unterhalb der Ansprechtemperatur der Übertemperatursicherung 6 festgelegt ist.With the fuse temperature sensor 11, the current temperature of the excess temperature fuse 6 can be determined for a comparison with a predetermined switching temperature, the switching temperature is set with a safety temperature interval below the response temperature of the excess temperature fuse 6.

Der Temperaturregler 9 arbeitet in einem Temperaturbereich unterhalb der vorgegebenen und mit dem Sicherungs-Temperaturfühler 11 ermittelbaren Umschalttemperatur in üblicher Weise in einem Regelkreis unter Einbeziehung des Umgebungs-Temperaturfühlers 10 als Istwertgeber, wobei der Temperaturregler 9 bei Erreichen und/oder Überschreiten der Umschalttemperatur unter Berücksichtigung der Fühlerwerte des Sicherungs-Temperaturfühlers 11 in einen anderen Regelalgorithmus umschaltet und zum Schutz der Übertemperatursicherung 6 die Heizungsleistung des Heizelements 5 abregelt.The temperature controller 9 operates in a temperature range below the predetermined and ascertainable with the fuse temperature sensor 11 switching temperature in a conventional manner in a control loop involving the ambient temperature sensor 10 as the actual value, the temperature controller 9 upon reaching and / or exceeding the switching temperature, taking into account Sensor values of the fuse temperature sensor 11 switches to another control algorithm and de-regulates the heating power of the heating element 5 to protect the excess temperature fuse 6.
