Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heating arrangement with a PTC element, in particular for a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a heating arrangement with a PTC element for passenger vehicles wherein an additional heating with a radiator, which is flowed through in the operation of the additional heating of heating air, and provided with at least one air outlet opening in the foot of a passenger compartment to which the heating air is passed.
  • the radiator is designed as an electrical PTC element, which is arranged directly on the air outlet opening in the foot region.
  • a PTC element is arranged in the form of several Schuwaben in a plastic frame not described in detail, which encloses the air outlet opening.
  • a PTC radiator for a motor vehicle comprising a two-part plastic frame.
  • the two parts of the plastic frame are connected to each other by means of two separately formed spring clips.
  • a heating arrangement with a PTC element which has a PTC element and this associated corrugated fins, which include other corrugated fins corresponding heat transfer assemblies to be understood, receiving plastic frame which is formed in two parts.
  • the connection between the two parts of the plastic frame by means of a clip connection, but other connections, in particular a sliding connection, possible.
  • the plastic frame preferably has at least one opening, in particular two openings, for two contact sheets, wherein the plastic frame in the vicinity of the opening or the openings is preferably designed as a plug.
  • the plug is preferably formed at a right angle to the electrical contacting contact plates, wherein a cable and the plug are preferably aligned parallel to the direction of the air flow. This allows a simple, space-saving arrangement.
  • the PTC element is attached to a contact plate by means of an adhesive connection.
  • an adhesive connection is easy to manufacture and forms a secure connection.
  • a two-component silicone adhesive is used.
  • contact plates are mounted on both sides of the PTC element, which run parallel to each other.
  • a corrugated rib is preferably attached by means of an adhesive connection, in particular by means of a two-component silicone adhesive. Further, on the side facing away from the PTC element of the corrugated fin is preferably another Contact plate attached by means of an adhesive connection to the corrugated fin, preferably by means of a two-component silicone adhesive.
  • two contact sheets are formed such that they are formed at one end as part of a plug. This simplifies assembly, since no plug must be attached to the contact plates.
  • the two contact plates are preferably L-shaped.
  • the frame is preferably provided a tab for mounting the heater assembly in or on an air duct.
  • the attachment may preferably be effected by means of one or more screws or by means of a clip connection.
  • the PTC element 2 is adhesively bonded between two contact plates 3 and 4, in the present case by means of a two-component silicone adhesive, wherein the contact plate provided with the reference numeral 3 is L-shaped is formed and forms a part of a plug 5 with its angled end.
  • the designated by the reference numeral 4 contact plate is substantially rectangular in shape and arranged parallel to the other contact plate 3.
  • a two-part plastic frame 7 is arranged.
  • a part 7 ' has a rectangular area which accommodates the PTC element 2, the contact sheets 3 and 4, and the corrugated fins 6, and a box-shaped area connected to this, which forms the outer part of the plug 5 on.
  • the second part 7 "of the plastic frame 7 is configured C-shaped and clipped onto the first part 7 'by means of a clip connection 8.
  • protrusions are provided on the two legs of the second part 7" which are correspondingly in the first part 7 'provided openings protrude and allow a quick and secure connection of the two parts 7' and 7 ", wherein the second part 7" ensures that the arrangement is securely held in the plastic frame 7.
  • first part 7 ' ribs 9 are arranged, which extend parallel to each other in the direction of the air flow.
  • the direction of the airflow is in Fig. 5b indicated by arrows.
  • the ribs 9 increase the strength of the plastic frame 7.
  • two slot-shaped openings 10 are provided in the first part 7 ', which form a passage for the L-shaped contact plates 3.
  • the plastic frame 7 further comprises a part 7 'arranged on the tab 13, which for attachment in an air duct by means of a screw (not shown) is used (see Fig. 5b ). Alternatively, the attachment can be made for example by means of a clip connection.
  • the ratio of the free area which corresponds to axd approximately to the total area bxc is quite large, so that the pressure drop in the air duct is relatively low, so that a relatively low fan performance is required.
  • a corresponds to the permeable width, b to the total width, c to the total length and d to the permeable length of the heating arrangement 1 without plug 5.
  • the ratio of axd to bxc is approximately 84%.
  • the heating arrangement is arranged with PTC element as a decentralized heater outside of the air conditioner, for example in corresponding air ducts in the A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar or in a door.
  • ribs 9 are provided in the frame 7, which cause a distance between the heated elements, which hereinafter also the contact plates 3, 4 and the corrugated fin 6, and the frame 7, so that the heat load of the frame 7 is reduced becomes.
  • the frame 7 is made of a plastic having an increased temperature resistance, such as polyamide.
  • the frame 7 itself forms an insulating wall, so that the heat loss is kept as low as possible and adjacent components, such as seat belts, are not impaired or damaged by the increased temperature in the case of an auxiliary heating.
  • the insulating wall can also be formed separately.
  • overheating PTC elements 2 are selected according to the second embodiment, which have an operating temperature of between 80 ° C and 120 ° C, in contrast to the conventional PTC elements with a surface temperature of 130 ° C to 165 ° C. Such protection may also be achieved by the use of a regulator which, when a certain temperature is reached in the vicinity of the heater assembly, reduces power or at times shuts off power completely.
