FR2487496A3 - RADIATOR ELEMENT WITH LONGITUDINAL AND FRONTAL FINS - Google Patents

Abstract

THIS ELEMENT CONSISTS OF A FRONTAL FIN 2 AND TWO OPPOSED LATERAL FACES FILLED WITH A ROW OF FINS 4 WHICH DELIMINE BETWEEN A SERIES OF CHANNELS AVAILABLE FOR DIRECTING HOT AIR CURRENTS ACCORDING TO AN INCLINED OR VERTICAL ORIENTATION; FRONT VANE 2 MAY OR NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE ENCLOSURE IN WHICH THE HEATING FLUID CIRCULATES.

Description

The present invention relates to a radiator element

  with front and longitudinal fins.

  According to the present invention, this element provides better

  their efficiency compared to known radiator elements, as a result of its realization allowing, under equal conditions, the diffusion of a greater quantity of heat. This element is essentially established with, on its two opposite lateral faces, rows of inclined or vertical fins, delimiting between them channels for conveying drafts with respect to

  a longitudinal front fin through which the li

  that heating on part of its section.

  To fix the subject of the invention, without however limiting it, in the appended drawing:

  Figure 1 is a perspective view of an element

  lon the invention; Figure 2 is a larger scale, a sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1; Figures 3, 4 and 5 are sectional views along line X-X of Figure 1, illustrating alternative embodiments

  of the implementation of the invention.

  Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, it can be seen that the radiator element (1), preferably made of cast iron, has on its front part, a longitudinal front fin (2) internally receiving at (A), the heating liquid, on part of

  its cross section but practically over its entire length.

  The heating liquid, in this case hot water, circulates in the internal enclosure (3) of the element. According to its two lateral sides, the element (1) is provided with a row of close and parallel fins (4), arranged by being inclined upwards and forwards, so that the air currents flowing between them are directed upwards and the front fin (2). For most of their length, the transverse fins (4) are in contact with the walls (6) delimiting between them the internal enclosure (3). In this way one also obtains a conduction of the rising air currents making it possible to reduce in a notable way, the blackening on

  the walls of the room, contrary to known elements.

  FIG. 3 shows an embodiment where the front fin (2A) is in contact with the heating liquid, along a part (Ai) reduced relative to its transverse development, - 1 -

  as a result of the elliptical section of the inner enclosure (3A).

  Figure 4 shows another embodiment where the

  the front lens (2B) is in contact with the heating liquid along a part (A2) of a value substantially corresponding to that (A) defined according to FIG. 1. In this case, it is noted that the interior enclosure (3B) forms a constriction (10) which has the effect of increasing the radiating surface (11) arranged nearby

said strangulation.

  Figure 5 shows another embodiment where the front fin (2C) is not in contact with the heating liquid

circulating in the enclosure (30).

  Many other variants are possible without

  from the scope of the invention. It is noted for this purpose, that the lateral fins (4) can be vertical, that is to say parallel to

  the front fin (2); the side fins (4) can also

  LEMENT be provided in areas not in contact with the heating liquid; a convector channel can also be provided very close to the front fin (2), as illustrated in FIG. 1, where the lateral fins (4) end at a point further back by

  relative to the front fin (2), so that a channel is delimited

  mj tt eptre this and the end portion of said side fins-

  rails (4); the lateral fins (4) can also be interrupted so as to delimit convector channels, which

  can be tilted or vertical.

  The invention is in no way limited to that of these modes of application, nor to those of the embodiments of these various parts which have been more particularly indicated; she in

  on the contrary embraces all variants.
