In a third aspect of the invention thcrc is providcd a method of forming a radiator, wherein said method comprises the steps of forming a radiator body, providing one or more cartridges comprising a housing and at least one heating element located therein, providing and sealing a heat transfer medium in the cartridge housing and engaging the one or more cartridges with the radiator body and providing a power supply in connection with the said heating elements to allow operation of the same Specific embodiments of the invention are now described with reference to the following figures, wherein: Figure 1 shows an electric radiator in accordance with one aspect of the invention; Figures 2a-2c show a heating cartridge in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; Figure 3 shows the top of a radiator in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; Figures 4a-4c show cross sectional views of a heating apparatus in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a top portion of a radiator in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; Figure 6 shows a cross sectional view of a radiator in accordance with one aspect of the invention; Figure 7 shows the cartridges being inserted into a cast body to form the radiator; and Figures 8a-c illustrate the manner in which the cartridge can be located with the body.
The present invention concerns a new type of electric radiator whereby a heating cartridge is located within the radiator housing or body. The tadiator body and the cartridge can be manufactured, stored and sold separately, thereby maximising the efficiency of each stage of the radiator's life cycle.
Turning to figure 1 there is shown a wall mounted electric radiator 2 designed to be used in a domestic environment but does not necessarily have to be exclusively used as such. The external body 3 of the radiator comprises a plurality of panels 4.
The radiator panels in this example shown in Figure 1 are cxtruded metal but the radiator body 3 can be formed from cast or moulded metal as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The power output of the radiator and times of operation can be selected using the control panel 6.
Inserted into the body of the radiator are a number of heating cartridges 8 as shown in figures 2a-2c and Figure 7. The linear cartridges are individual units and can be inserted and removed from the radiator housing or body so that the same can be used with other radiator body shapes and styles. A side wall of the cartridge in figure 2c has been removed for clarity purposes and it can be seen that a resistive heating element 10 is located inside the cartridge housing. Nylon end caps 12 form a seal around the elements 10 at the base of the cartridge. The space between the element and the cartridge housing can be filled with any conventional heat transfer medium.
At the top or distal end of the cartridge from the end cap 12 is an engagement assembly 14, comprising a retaining plate 16 and pivot pin 18. The retaining plate can be twisted through 90 degrees around the pin and the longitudinal axis of the cartridge to the position shown in Figure Bc to engage with the radiator body. When the cartridges are inserted during assembly on premises and/or factory manufacture the retaining plate 16 is positioned so as not to protrude from the cartridge and the same can easily be slid into the radiator body with the end cap 12 forming a stop to ensure that the cartridge is inserted into the body 3 to the correct length.
Figure 3 shows the top part of the radiator body 3. Once the 8 cartridge is in situ, the plate 16 can be rotated 90 degrees such that the cartridge 8 cannot be removed without retracting the plate 16. The flange that is present on thc end cap 12 of the cartridge ensures that the same cannot be pushed entirely through the longitudinal channels 20 formed in the radiator body for the reception and location of the cartridges.
Thus, if a cartridge fails or the radiator body is damaged either constituent part can be replaced without having to replace the entire heating apparatus because the cartridges are removable.
Figures 4a-4c show various views of a radiator body or panel 4 with the outer faces removed so that the parallel arrangement of the cartridges 8 inside the radiator 2 can be seen along with the position of the electric heating element 10 disposed inside the cartridge. The skilled person will appreciate that the radiator body can take numerous shapes and forms to improve air convection and/or radiative heating, and/or simply for aesthetic P urp 05 Cs.
Turning to figure 5 where a radiator 2 is shown, with a single piece top rail extrusion 22 located on top of the same. The single extrusion provides a cap to cover the ends of the radiator panels and cartridges. Again the skilled person will appreciate that the rail can take numerous shapes and forms to improve air convection and/or radiative heating, and/or simply for aesthetic purposes. The tail 22 in this embodiment is shown as transparent for clarity purposes.
The skilled person will appreciate that the present invention applies not only to wall mounted radiators but also free standing embodiment and those on castors. For example, figure 6 shows a cross section view of a free standing electric radiator 30 which is on castots 32 for ease of movement.
As shown in Figure 7, when the body is cast, a plurality of channels 34 are formed at spaced intervals, each provided to receive a cartridge 8 therein.
Tn summary the present invention provides a modular heating apparatus whereby the radiator housing and/or the cartridge heaters can be selectively removed and replaced.
