Description

Modular floor heating.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a floor modular radiant specially designed for once placed in anywhere get a modular point heating system and expandable and can be removed and repositioned either in its initial location, or anywhere else that require.

The object of the invention is to achieve a heating system that can be adapted on any pavement without the need for works and easy assembly and allowing Be expanded as needed.

The module, depending on the use or need may offer temperatures from 0ºC to 95º Celsius, since it allows thermal regulation of the environment through a heating system that can be activated at the user's convenience using as thermal elements "folio or thermal cable", of very low consumption (between 60 and 500 W / m2) and high performance since all the modular radiant floor surface will be uniformly to the same temperature

Background of the invention

There are known radiant floors conceived in the floor or pavement that they need for their installation of works in situ, requiring a compression layer with high cost and labor, of a fixed nature in the place of implantation.

The radiant floors with these characteristics present problems derived from the nature of the layer of compression and especially the reduced capacity of calorific value and its lack of mobility and adaptability.

Description of the invention

The modular radiant floor that the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed so that the modules can be installed and removed from its location at any time and put back in its initial location or in any other place, also achieving a uniform temperature throughout the surface, being feasible to expand at any time.

The modular radiant floor of the invention It includes four layers or distinct elements intimately linked:

-

A finishing material

-

A protective cover (PVC sheet).

-

A thermal element (thermal folio).

-

A insulating element (foam).

These four elements can be adapted optionally a finished molding.

According to the invention the temperature offered by the system can be controlled by thermostat and / or rheostat.

The finishing material may be constituted for any element of employees in construction for the surface screwing, such as laminated wood flooring, parquet, wood, metal, stone plates, etc .; and its dimensions and form they can be anyone, given their character of modular and expandable. So from a minimum dimension of 0.12 m2 (module 40 x 30 cm.) it can be passed to higher or much larger dimensions (3,000 m 2), forming rectangular, polygonal square figures or others.

The element responsible for providing the desired temperature to the set is the thermal element, primarily thermal folio, although others could be used thermal elements such as thermal cable.

As a protective cover of the thermal sheet, It will have a PVC sheet with the thermal characteristics appropriate.

As an insulating element between the cold itself existing flooring and the heat generated by the thermal element is you will have a fire-resistant water-repellent foam with a M-1 behavior, non-slip and with its part bottom grooved or with any other format that allows the passage through micro-currents of air avoiding condensation and fungus creation.

With this modular floor arrangement there is a floor to place on the pavement with a thickness which can range from 6 mm to 20 mm depending on the thickness of the insulating foam and the finishing material, the minimum being thickness of the thermal element and its cover with just 0.5 mm.

Adapted to the entire perimeter of the module is optional have a finishing molding of the same material as the finishing material that constitutes the top layer of the module and a whose fundamental aesthetic mission joins to avoid the small step that forms the set.

Description of the drawings

To complete the description that is being taking effect and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, drawings where illustrative and not Limitative is represented in:

- Figure 1 a partial perspective of a modular floor with its four fundamental elements.

- Figure 2 a perspective of the element insulation seen from its underside.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the attached drawing the modular radiant floor It consists of four overlapping layers forming a module (1) which is placed on a floor or pavement (6) where from top to bottom presents a finishing material consisting of any element of employees in construction for surface screed, a protective cover (3) of PVC, a thermal element (4) folio or thermal cable and an insulating element (5).

The foam or insulating element (5) that enters contact with the floor (6), as shown in figure 2 it presents a series of grooves (7) or with any other format on its entire surface that allows the passage to its through micro-currents of air avoiding condensation and fungus creation. It has the characteristics of be water resistant, fire resistant with M-1 category self-extinguishing and non-slip and by its composition and high density prevents transmission through both cold and hot.

The finishing material (2) is directly superimposed on the cover element (3), and its union is carried out in any possible way depending on the dimensions thereof; in smaller elements will be joined together by joints tongue and groove, in "V", uni-click or others and in boards or other large material may be placed butt, or joined by "V" recesses, tongue and groove, etc.

The entire perimeter of the modular floor can have a perimeter molding finish of the same material as the finishing material (2) and attached thereto by silicone or any means that seek a fixed and lasting union.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention should be noted that the provisions above indicated and represented are subject to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
