Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric heater with a frame which forms openings on opposite sides for the passage of a medium to be heated.
  • the electric heater further has a layer structure disposed in the frame. This has in a direction transverse to the direction of passage of the medium to be heated a plurality of layers, which are formed by corrugated fin elements and at least one heat-generating element.
  • the heat-generating element comprises at least one arranged between parallel contact plates PTC element.
  • Such an electric heater is for example from the DE 199 11 547 . US 5,854,471 . EP 0 350 528 or DE 197 06 199 known.
  • the problem with generic electric heaters is that the resistance of the PTC elements rises sharply with increasing temperature and heating power, so that the power output of the PTC elements is reduced.
  • the electric heaters since the electric heaters are to be used in particular in motor vehicles, they must have a compact design, so that the proposal to arrange two conventionally designed electric heaters in flow or passage direction of the medium to be heated in a HVAC, must be discarded, because this runs counter to the requirement of a compact design.
  • the EP 2 161 514 A1 proposes to arrange a plurality of corrugated rib elements in the flow direction of the flow of air to be heated in a row and to receive within a single frame.
  • at least two heating blocks are arranged one behind the other in the direction of passage of the air to be heated.
  • the heating blocks are provided at least offset, ie the heat generating elements of the individual heating blocks are in the direction of passage of the medium to be heated not immediately after each other. Rather, these have a transverse distance from each other in this direction of passage with otherwise parallel alignment of the layers of the various heating blocks relative to each other.
  • the heat generating elements of a heating block lie centrally behind the corrugated fin elements of the other heating block.
  • the proposal can be after the EP 2 161 514 A1 obviously, from the consideration that the heated air leaving the upstream direction of the heating block immediately after the heat generating element has undergone the strongest heating, whereas the central area in the direction of extent of the individual corrugated elements is only due to the greatest distance of this center from the heat generating element leads to a relatively low heating of the air, so that this relatively cool air to impinge on the view of the most intense heating causing area of the subsequent heating block.
  • EP 1 626 231 A1 discloses an electric heater having an upper frame member receiving two high voltage assemblies therein and a lower frame member receiving two low voltage assemblies therein.
  • the two frame elements are connected to each other via an intermediate frame to a single frame.
  • the frame accordingly encloses a layer structure.
  • This layer structure has layers of corrugated fins and layers of heat generating elements.
  • the layers are - as usual in the layer structure - provided one above the other.
  • the DE 44 04 345 A1 discloses a frame that houses a heating block.
  • the heating block is - as in particular from FIG. 3 results - from continuous contact plates, of which in each case the first contact plates are occupied on the inlet side with PTC elements which are missing there at the corresponding contact plates, whereas abut against the contact plates PTC elements on the outlet side.
  • the PTC elements are each held in position frames. These have a width which is greater than half the width of the heating block (width is the direction of extension in the flow direction).
  • the EP 1 780 061 A1 discloses a heater assembly having a frame comprising two frame members, each individually filled with a heating block.
  • An intermediate frame forms gripping elements, via which the respective frame elements are connected to one another.
  • the intermediate frame creates a certain distance in the direction of passage of the air.
  • the present invention is based on the problem of specifying an electric heater with an increased heating power.
  • the present invention intends to specify a scalable electrical heating device, ie such a heating device, which can be adapted without great effort to different heating powers.
  • the present invention further seeks to provide a frame with which a corresponding heating device can be realized in an economical manner.
  • the present invention provides an electric heater having the features of claim 1.
  • This differs from the generic state of the art in that in the direction of passage of the medium to be heated at least two corrugated rib elements are arranged one behind the other, whose corrugated ribs are arranged offset transversely to the direction of passage of the medium to be heated.
  • the corrugated ribs of the elements arranged one behind the other in different directions in the flow direction can be seen at the level of the corrugated rib elements arranged one behind the other.
  • the individual corrugated ribs shade accordingly only slightly.
  • the transition from the corrugated rib provided on an input plane to the underlying corrugated rib achieves a rearrangement of the flow in that the flow path is changed by the corrugations arranged offset.
  • the result is a turbulent flow at the transition between the two staggered corrugated fin elements, which leads to improved heat transfer from the corrugated fins to the medium to be heated.
  • the heat conduction is increased by at least 5% with otherwise identical components.
  • each of the successive corrugated rib elements to be arranged offset to that in the direction of flow in front of it.
  • all corrugated rib elements are preferably provided so that their corrugated fins are provided in total offset from each other.
  • the corresponding measure results in a very effective heat transfer between the corrugated fin elements and the medium to be heated in a layer of layer structure, which are usually formed by elements with identical function of the heating block, which are arranged in the passage direction of the medium to be heated exactly behind each other.
  • the formulation of the application request can be guided by the idea that the medium passes through the frame at right angles to those surfaces which form the openings for the passage of the medium to be heated.
  • the frame is usually formed by an embodiment which surrounds the layer structure at least on both end sides, preferably in full circumference however, one or more sufficiently large openings are formed at the sides extending at right angles to this circumferential enclosure, which usually leave the corrugated fin elements completely or at least predominantly exposed, so that they can be completely or almost completely flown by the medium to be heated.
  • the openings can be reinforced or interspersed by transverse or longitudinal struts.
  • Longitudinal struts usually extend parallel to the layers of the layer structure and regularly at the height of the heat generating elements, whereas cross struts extend at right angles thereto and serve the mechanical stiffening of the frame, especially if - as in a preferred embodiment of the present invention - the heating block or layer structure is held by one or more integrated in the layer structure springs in the frame under prestress, so that the elements of the layer structure are placed together only by the clamping force of the spring element.
  • This clamping force causes on the one hand a good electrical contact between the parallel contact plates and the PTC elements or the interposed therebetween and on the other hand a good thermal contact between the heat-emitting elements and the adjacent thereto and pressed by the spring force against corrugated fins elements.
  • the layer structure of the electric heater is designed with a view to the most economical production of each identical elements. If several heat-generating elements are parts of the layer structure, these are each formed identically.
  • the corrugated rib elements which are arranged one behind the other in a plane and the corrugated rib elements which are stacked one above the other in the layer structure and optionally arranged with the interposition of a heat-generating element are each of identical design.
  • the corrugated fin elements may each have a different thickness, i. Extension in the flow direction of the medium to be heated, so that in each case the optimum size is given for the required heating power, especially the thickness of the heating block. According to the thickness of the corrugated fin elements, the corrugated fin elements respectively associated heat generating elements are usually formed.
  • corrugated rib elements are located on different sides of a heat generating element.
  • usually at least four corrugated rib elements are attached to a single heat-generating element.
  • This Heat-generating element does not necessarily have to be made as a unitary heat-generating element, with a corresponding design being preferred.
  • all the PTC elements are provided in a uniform position frame, which is covered on top and bottom with contact plates against which the corrugated rib elements abut directly or indirectly.
  • the number of corrugated rib elements successively provided in correspondence with the corrugated fin elements is directly or preferably separated by an insulating layer, e.g. B. from a plastic film and / or a ceramic layer indirectly to the there provided contact plate. The same applies to the opposite side.
  • the heat generating elements adjacent to each other in the height direction are preferably spaced from each other by two corrugated fin members of identical configuration.
  • the height distance of adjacent heat generating elements corresponds to twice the height of the corrugated fin element.
  • each of the corrugated rib elements arranged one behind the other in the direction of passage is assigned separate PTC elements.
  • the individual corrugated rib elements ie those corrugated rib elements which are provided strictly one behind the other in the direction of passage, ie arranged in successive planes, define one layer.
  • a corresponding plane usually has approximately the dimension corresponding to a thickness of the corrugated rib element in the direction of passage.
  • an embodiment is determined in which adjacent in the height direction of the layer structure in a plane and different layers arranged corrugated fins each receive the or those these corrugated fins associated PTC element between them.
  • the corresponding PTC elements usually lie within the front and rear sides predetermined by the corrugated rib elements, whereby in the first approximation it is readily possible to grasp that these front and back sides of all corrugated rib elements of a plane substantially coincide.
  • PTC elements are located within an envelope surface defining the two corrugated fin elements associated with the PTC element, preferably defined solely by the corrugated fins of these corrugated fin elements. Accordingly, in sectional view, the PTC elements always lie exactly between the corrugated fin elements assigned to them, whereby a thermal interaction between the corrugated ribs and heat-generating elements provided on different planes is substantially prevented.
  • the PTC elements are arranged in a uniform, over several levels extending heat generating element. Accordingly, the plurality of corrugated fin elements provided at different levels only bridge portions of this uniform heat generating element associated with these corrugated fin elements.
  • the heat-generating element accordingly has in the width direction, ie passage direction of the medium to be heated, an extension which corresponds to a multiple of the width of one of the corrugated fin elements corresponding to the number of corrugated fin elements successively provided in the flow direction.
  • corrugated fin elements for electric heaters of different heat output can be used identically. In each case identical corrugated rib elements are provided, regardless of whether heat generating elements are provided only in one or more planes.
  • corrugated rib elements to the necessary heating power takes place merely by displacing the usually elongated corrugated rib elements relative to one another, so that the corrugated ribs of the corrugated rib elements are provided offset from one another.
  • the heat generating elements are adapted directly to the necessary heating power.
  • An electrical heating device with corrugated fin elements provided only in two planes then has a heat-generating element which extends over these two planes in the direction of passage of the medium to be heated, whereas an electric heating device equipped with three corrugated fin elements arranged one behind the other has a heat-generating element, which corresponds in width to three times the width of the corrugated fin members, so that these three corrugated fin members provided in a plane can be brought into abutment with the unitary heat generating member.
  • the corrugated fin elements are provided on one side with cover elements. These covering elements cover at one end face the arcuate region of a meandering metal strip, which generally forms the corrugated rib element. Furthermore, the cover elements can easily grasp the corrugated ribs at the edge on their front or rear sides and can be positively and / or positively connected to the corrugated ribs by bending over.
  • the heat-generating element is provided according to the preferred development on one side with a sheet covering the contact plates.
  • On this side of the heat-generating element are usually the curved ends of the meandering metal strip of the corrugated fin element directly to the sheet metal cover.
  • the cover elements provided on the corrugated fin elements are preferably applied indirectly to the contact plate of the heat-generating element provided there, preferably with the interposition of an insulating layer. Thereafter, the clamping force of the layer structure in the frame at these points selectively applied contact pressure on the sheet metal cover on the one hand and the cover is equalized on the other hand.
  • Such homogenization is particularly advantageous if an insulating layer is provided between the contact plate and the sheet metal cover or the cover, so that the corrugated fin elements are provided floating in the electric heater and not directly electrically connected to the electrical traces to the PTC elements ,
  • the present invention proposes a frame for an electric heater with the features of claim 9.
  • This frame and its developments also form the electric heater as such.
  • the electric heating device according to the invention preferably has a frame.
  • This frame has two frame members forming the openings and at least one intermediate frame member therebetween.
  • the frame elements and the at least one frame intermediate element are over inei nander cross-locking lugs connected to each other, so that, for example, the intermediate frame element for pre-assembly of one of the frame elements assigned by latching and the frame as a whole can be closed by latching.
  • the locking elements are also designed so that the frame can be formed and closed solely by the frame members.
  • a plurality of frame intermediate elements may be inserted, which are each formed identically and which can be connected in each case by latching with the two frame elements.
  • the frame according to the invention is furthermore designed so that a frame can be formed solely by the frame elements, which forms a receiving space for the layer structure in the passage opening of the medium to be heated, in which it can be accommodated, provided the layer structure in a generally known manner only one plane has corrugated ribs and heat generating elements.
  • a layer structure is fitted in the receiving space substantially in the direction of passage, resulting in a compact structure in this direction.
  • the frame according to the invention is further configured such that, in the case of a frame formed from the frame intermediate element, a receiving space extending in the direction of passage of the medium to be heated is formed, which as a rule is adapted to receive a layer structure comprising a plurality of levels of corrugated ribs and heat generating elements ,
  • a layer structure formed from a plurality of corrugated rib elements arranged one behind the other in a position in the direction of passage, is accordingly fitted in the direction of penetration basically in this frame thus formed.
  • Both frame designs accordingly allow a compact and space-saving recording of the respective layer structure.
  • the frame elements can each be used identically, regardless of how many corrugated rib elements of a layer are arranged in different planes one behind the other. This broadening of the layer structure is only covered by the frame intermediate elements. In this case, a single frame intermediate element usually widens the receiving space exactly by the width amount that a corrugated rib element arranged in a further plane contributes.
  • the frame members are each formed identically, ie can be manufactured in a single injection mold and joined by rotation relative to each other by 180 °. If a plurality of frame intermediate elements form the frame, these are also preferably formed identically.
  • the outside of the frame elements and the frame intermediate element preferably have a holding element part. This holding element part projects beyond the outside and is formed in such a way that on a frame formed solely from the frame members and on a frame formed from the frame members and the frame intermediate member by cooperating retaining element parts, a holding element is formed. Accordingly, the holding element part only usually forms half of a complete holding element.
