Abstract

The radiator (10) is in the form of a thin, flat, curved or angled panel, installed in an insulated casing with air gaps (6) and low-conductivity fibres (4) in the corner of a room so that the edges of the panel lie flush with the adjacent wall surfaces (3). The radiator can be heated by hot water or electricity, radiant or convection, with all pipework and valves (7, 8) concealed behind it, and has hinges (16) on one side for access.

Description

<Desc / Clms Page number 1>

The present innovation concerns a new concept of 100% built-in heating composed of an insulated corner box assembly respecting the total thermal resistance of the wall or sound insulation, for all types of exterior or interior walls receiving a specific water radiator. hot or electric radiant panel or radiant panel and convection, providing aesthetics, security, space saving, ease of implementation and hiding accessories, piping, thermostatic valve, adjusting tees, valve isolation, traps.

Old heating transmitters have the following drawbacks: - unsightly for a large part, - the layout of rooms, offices, etc.

 - to be bulky even under a window, - for safety for children, the elderly, the disabled, - superficial burns for certain types of installations, - to have visible pipes and tap fittings, tees setting etc ...

For a few years the architects, to bring more light in the rooms, moved the radiators which were generally under the windows to place them more and more on the walls so as to be able to install French windows, which increased the problem room layout.

Patent No. 81/07644 of April 13, 1981, concerning a revolutionary mode of built-in insulating box capable of receiving a hot water or electric radiator, made it possible at the time to eliminate some of these drawbacks. This type of box did not respect the total thermal resistance of the wall and moreover it could not be built in 100%. The present invention aims to improve the above patent but in addition to reconciling users with heating by radiators. We propose to place our box and radiator assembly in one or more corners of the rooms to be heated, the corners being rarely used, to respect the thermal resistance of the wall, to provide a certain aesthetic and a reduction in bulk by playing on the height of the entire wall and guarantee 100% embedding.

Mark 10 fig. 1: Right angle radiator entering hot water in cold rolled steel of 15 or 20/10 with a finishing paint of Epoxy type. This radiator can also be made of stainless steel with a glossy finish or other (or even other composite materials). This radiator is of concave curved shape of small thickness (13 to 15mm). At the entrance of each radiator, a plate is welded over a large part of the height in order to force the water to circulate on the total surface of the radiator. It can be of the radiant panel or radiant panel and convection radiator type. It has no hot water inlet and outlet manifold, therefore extra-flat. The inlet, outlet and hot water drain are welded directly to the steel or stainless steel in the lower and upper part and on the rear side of the radiator with a threaded sleeve. It is 100% recessed in the box that receives it and each end comes in alignment with the finishing wall (item 3).

All these radiators of fig. there 4 are fixed in the insulating box from the left side (mark 56 fig. 49-50-51-52 and mark 16 fig. there 16). A steel rod is welded in the lower part and upper part of the radiator (upper part: it can be replaced by an invisible hinge). The principle of installation of the radiator which will be carried out just before the reception of the site, in order to avoid scratches, knocks or thefts etc ... is as follows: the steel rod in the lower part of the radiator thread in part no 68 of fig. 49 to 52 then the radiator is raised to insert the upper rod of the radiator in the upper part of the box. A spacer of the same size is inserted around the lower rod and likewise for the upper part in order to center the radiator (convector solution).

For the upper and lower panels fig. 53-54-55-56 item 63, the welded rod is replaced by an invisible hinge.

These fixings allow the radiators to pivot on their support, allow an easy intervention in the event of breakdown service. The convector type radiators fig. 49-50-51-52 and fig. 43 can additionally receive fins at the rear to increase their power.

For a cabinet height of 2.50m, 2 standard models are available: - 2.40m for the panel radiator, - 2.20m for the convector radiator.

For the width, 4 models will be possible as standard.

The radius as standard for radiators of concave or convex curved shape will be 200mm for small powers, 150mm for medium powers and 100mm for larger powers.

Tailor-made can be made according to customer demand.

The assembly of FIGS. 1 to 16 represents an insulating box at a right angle entering which can receive different types of radiators, but this

<Desc / Clms Page number 6>

 box can be executed at an angle greater than or less than 90 without going into the absurd. The materials described can be replaced by others as long as the resistances are respected.

The shapes of the radiators figures 1 to 16 marks 10 to 13, concave or convex curved, can have a radius different from the standard.

Fig. 5-6-7-8: Same set of built-in boxes with their radiator as Figures 1 to 4 with the same references.

The only difference is the re-entrant right angle consisting of an interior wall or partition (item 1B). The box on the side of the exterior wall remains the same as for Figures 1 to 4 with respect for the thickness of the box with respect to the insulation (item 2), the finishing product (item 3) and compliance with the resistance. of the wall as a whole. The right part (mark IB) represents the interior partition or interior wall.

Reference 14: Sound insulation which is sandwiched between 2 sheets of reinforced polyester. The thickness of the sound barrier depends on the interior wall or partition. The thickness of the right side of the box must respect the thickness of the interior wall. The polyester outer face on the right side of the box receives a coat coat gel and can receive wallpaper or other types of finish.

In Figures 5 to 8, the walls can be reversed; the corner box will also be reversed. The radiator will always be fixed on the thicker side.
