  • Heating systems for heating large buildings, in particular halls, which comprise a plurality of individual infrared radiators, in particular dark radiation, have long been sold by the applicant and are also, for example, from DE 10 2007 047 661 A1 known.
  • the dark radiators comprise a housing which is suspended horizontally above a region of the building which is to be heated and in which a radiation tube is accommodated which is acted upon by a gas burner with heated exhaust gas. The other end of the radiant tube is acted upon by a suction fan with negative pressure and is connected to an exhaust pipe.
  • infrared heaters In the aforementioned infrared heaters, the problem arises that they can be heated exclusively with gas, without the possibility of this, with an excess of electrical energy in the public power grid, such as occurs on cold sunny and windy winter days, to use efficiently for heating buildings.
  • the maximum permissible surface temperature of the radiation tube is due to the material at about 650 ° C, the maximum possible intensity of infrared radiation is obtained only in the first portion of the radiant tube, whereas converted to the downstream end of the tube out only a small portion of the heat energy contained in the hot gas in infrared radiation becomes. Since the efficiency of the overall system relative to the primary energy used when heating large buildings such as halls is higher, the greater the proportion of emitted from the radiant tube infrared radiation, the overall efficiency of the dark radiator due to the cooling-related decrease in the temperature of the radiant tube thereby adversely reduced ,
  • an object of the present invention to provide an infrared heater having a hot gas applied radiant tube which enables more efficient heating of a building with both a fossil fuel and electric power.
  • an infrared heating device for heating buildings comprises a radiant tube and a burner connected thereto in fluid communication at a first end, in particular a gas or oil burner, which heats the radiant tube in a known manner with heated exhaust gas which projects the radiant tube on its surface a temperature of eg Heated to 600 ° C, so that this infrared radiation in the manner of a black body or dark radiator radiates into the building to be heated.
  • the infrared heating device is characterized in that the radiation tube has or contains an electrical resistance heating with which it can be heated at least in sections additionally or alternatively to the heating by the burner with electric current of a power source.
  • the invention provides the advantage that with an excess of electrical power in the public network, as can be observed for example on cold windy and sunny winter days, the excess energy can be used in an efficient way for heating buildings, in which already Infrared heater is installed with dark radiators.

  • the radiation tube comprises at least a first electrically conductive portion which may also comprise the entire radiation tube, if this consists as usual of sheet steel with a wall thickness of for example 1.5 mm.
  • the resistance heating comprises at least first and second electrical contact elements arranged at a distance from one another at the partial section, which can be connected to the electric current source via an electrical switching device in order to connect the electrically conductive partial section, i. to energize the lying between the two electrical contact elements area of the radiation tube.
  • This embodiment of the invention has the advantage that it can be retrofitted to existing infrared heaters with little effort, since the radiation tubes for this purpose only electrically insulated and two electrodes at a distance from each other must be attached to the radiation tube, for example by a clamp or the like.
  • At least one or preferably also a plurality of further electrically conductive subsections are defined on the radiation tube, which can be provided by attaching a corresponding number of electrical contact elements / electrodes to the outside of the radiation tube.
  • the plurality of electrically conductive sections are preferably each individually or in groups on the electrical switching device with the power source, that is preferably the AC electrical network, connectable, for example, two or more of the sections as needed to turn on or off and accordingly from the Radiation tube emitted into the building radiant power of the infrared radiation to a desired level.
  • each subsection is the plurality of electrically conductive subsections connectable to the power source via a respective electrical contact element and a switch associated therewith.
  • the switches may also be mechanical contact switches such as manually operated mechanical switches or relays, in the preferred embodiment of the invention preferably electronic switches are used, such as high power semiconductor switches, which are preferably controllable by a corresponding electronic control device of the electrical circuit direction via a bus system.
  • the electrical switching device opens and closes the switches with a preferably variable clock frequency and / or a variable duration in order to change the electrical heating power generated in the respective subsection on average.
  • This opens up the possibility to set the heating power in the respective electrically conductive sections of the radiation tube with a comparatively high accuracy to a predetermined value, or to regulate such, which with the known, exclusively heated by a burner radiation tubes due to the modulation of the Burner required control devices is possible only with great effort.
  • the surface temperature of the radiant tube by a corresponding adjustment of the current, and the on and off frequency of the respective electrical switch, via which the current flow in the subsection is switched on or off, to regulate according to a predetermined temperature profile.
  • This control is particularly advantageous in a mixed operation of the heater, since this not only reduces the fuel consumption of the burner, but also the infrared radiation efficiency can be increased overall, in simplistic terms also the otherwise colder downstream areas of the radiant tube through the targeted supplied electrical Heating energy to be raised to the desired surface temperature.
  • the embodiment described above can be realized in practice in that the radiation tube is made entirely of an electrically conductive material, in particular stainless steel, and the contact elements at preferably equal distances from each other over the length of the radiation tube on or on away the radiation tube are arranged.

  • the power source in the above-described embodiments of the invention is preferably a power source having a fixed AC frequency
  • an AC electric power source having a variable frequency This makes it possible to set the frequency of the AC voltage, for example, to a few 100 Hz or even kilohertz, which due to the so-called skin effect, the electric current flow is shifted in the region of the outside of the radiant tube, which advantageously leads to that in a mixed operation in particular downstream portion of the radiant tube a smaller proportion of the supplied electric heating power passes to the cooler exhaust gas in this area and is discharged therefrom.
  • the supplied heating power is not the height of the alternating current but over the cycle times, with which it is supplied to the corresponding electrical sections, is changed.
  • the temperature in the respective subsections / heating zone of the resistance heater may be detected via sensors, such as infrared sensors.
  • the principle underlying the inventive infrared heater it may continue to be provided that the radiation tube is received in a holder made of an electrically insulating material which has a sufficient temperature resistance.
