Abstract

The invention relates to a heating device, in particular a heating rod for saunas, comprising at least one heating element that is situated inside a wall. According to the invention, the interior (1') of the wall (1) that houses the heating element or elements (2) is filled at least partially with sand (3) produced from igneous rock.

Description

Heizeinrichtung: heating:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Heizeinrichtung insbesondere Heizstab für Wärmekabinen mit mindestens einem innerhalb einer Wandung angeordneten Heizelement. Weiters betrifft die Erfindung eine Wärmekabine.The invention relates to a heating device, in particular a heating element for heating cabins, with at least one heating element arranged within a wall. The invention further relates to a heat cabin.
Zum Heizen von Wärmekabinen werden bereits Heizeinrichtungen, insbesondere Heizstäbe, eingesetzt, die innerhalb einer keramischen Wandung ein vorzugsweise elektrisches Heizelement aufweisen. Zwischen dem Heizelement und der Wandung hat man bisher Quarzsand eingefüllt. Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, dass der Quarzsand vor allem beim üblicher Weise stehenden Einbau der Heizstäbe in sich zusammensackt und damit einem Teilbereich nicht mehr für die Wärmeübertragung vom Heizelement zur Wandung zur Verfügung steht.Heating devices, in particular heating elements, are already used for heating heat booths, which have a preferably electrical heating element within a ceramic wall. So far, quartz sand has been filled between the heating element and the wall. However, it has been shown that the quartz sand collapses in itself, especially when the heating rods are installed in the usual manner, and is therefore no longer available to a sub-area for heat transfer from the heating element to the wall.
Um dieses Problem zu lösen, schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass der das mindestens eine Heizelement aufnehmende Innenraum der Wandung zumindest teilweise mit Sand aus Eruptivgestein gefüllt ist.In order to solve this problem, the invention proposes that the interior of the wall, which accommodates the at least one heating element, is at least partially filled with sand made of igneous rock.
Versuche haben gezeigt, dass dieser Sand aus Eruptivgestein (Lavasand) auch bei längerer Verwendung nicht in sich zusammensackt. Der Füllstand und die Funktionsfähigkeit des Heizstabes bleibt damit über lange Zeit erhalten.Experiments have shown that this sand made from igneous rock (lava sand) does not collapse even after long use. The fill level and the functionality of the heating element are retained over a long period of time.
Weiter Vorteile und Einzelheiten werden anhand der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung näher erläutert.Further advantages and details are explained in more detail with reference to the following description of the figures.
Es zeigen:Show it:
Fig. 1 einen Längsschnitt durch einen Teil eines Ausführungsbeispiels einer erfindungsgemäßen Heizeinrichtung, und Fig. 2 eine schematische Draufsicht auf ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Wärmekabine.1 shows a longitudinal section through part of an embodiment of a heating device according to the invention, and FIG. 2 shows a schematic plan view of an embodiment of a heating cabin according to the invention.
Die in Fig. 1 insgesamt mit 4 bezeichnete Heizeinrichtung weist eine gut wärmebeständige Wandung 1 aus Keramikmaterial auf. Diese ist im wesentlichen in der Form eines hohlzylindrischen Stabes ausgebildet. In der Fig. 1 ist lediglich das untere Ende dieses Stabes dargestellt. Das obere Ende kann im wesentlichen gleich ausgebildet sein. Das untere Ende der stabförmigen Wandung 1 ist durch eine ebenfalls aus Keramikmaterial bestehende Abdeckkappe ein 1a verschlossen, welche eine elektrische Anschlusslasche 2a trägt. Diese elektrische Anschlusslasche führt zum schraubenförmigen Heizelement 2 (elektrischer Widerstandsheizdraht).The heating device designated overall by 4 in FIG. 1 has a heat-resistant wall 1 made of ceramic material. This is essentially in the form of a hollow cylindrical rod. In Fig. 1 only the lower end of this rod is shown. The upper end can be essentially the same. The lower end of the rod-shaped wall 1 is closed by a cover cap 1 a, which is also made of ceramic material and carries an electrical connecting tab 2 a. This electrical connection tab leads to the helical heating element 2 (electrical resistance heating wire).
Erfindungsgemäß ist nun der Innenraum V der Wandung 1 , in dem sich auch das Heizelement 2 befindet mit Sand aus Eruptivgestein (Lavasand) gefüllt. Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Heizstab vollständig gefüllt.According to the invention, the interior V of the wall 1, in which the heating element 2 is also located, is filled with sand from igneous rock (lava sand). In the present embodiment, the heating element is completely filled.
Als Korngröße des verwendeten Lavasandes hat sich eine Korngröße von höchstens 0,2 mm bis 0,5 mm herausgestellt. Der Lavasand weist zumindest eine, vorzugsweise mehrere der folgenden Komponenten auf. Plagioklas, Leucit, Nephelin, Klinopyroxen, Olivin, Magnetit und/oder Apatit.The grain size of the lava sand used has been found to be a grain size of at most 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. The lava sand has at least one, preferably several of the following components. Plagioclase, leucite, nepheline, clinopyroxen, olivine, magnetite and / or apatite.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch eine Wärmekabine mit einer solchen Heizeinrichtung. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Wärmekabine ist in Fig. 2 in einer schematischen Draufsicht gezeigt. Die Wärmekabine ist von Wänden 5 umgeben und weist einen rechteckigen Grundriss auf. Innen kann sich eine Sitzbaήk 5a befinden. Man kann die Wärmekabine über eine Schwenktüre 5b betreten und verlassen. In den Ecken der Wärmekabine ist jeweils ein erfindungsgemäßes Heizelemente 4 vertikal angeordnet.The invention also relates to a heat cabin with such a heating device. An exemplary embodiment of a heat cabin according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2 in a schematic plan view. The heat cabin is surrounded by walls 5 and has a rectangular plan. Inside there can be a seat 5a. You can enter and leave the heat cabin via a swing door 5b. A heating element 4 according to the invention is arranged vertically in the corners of the heat cabin.
Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Beispielsweise kann die Anordnung der Heizelemente und die Form der Wärmekabine völlig von der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Darstellung abweichen. Auch die Heizeinrichtung selbst muss nicht notwendiger Weise stabförmig ausgebildet sein. Vielmehr sind auch flächige Ausbildungen durchaus denkbar und möglich. The invention is of course not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. For example, the arrangement of the heating elements and the shape of the heat cabin can deviate completely from the illustration shown in FIG. 2. The heating device itself does not necessarily have to be rod-shaped. Rather, extensive training is also conceivable and possible.
