DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating unit for a heating system and a method for constructing the heating unit.
The present invention relates to a heating unit that uses a planar heating element and can be suitably used for a heating system such as a wall surface or a ceiling of a building, and a method of constructing the heating unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, even in ordinary households, heating appliances using electric heating, such as air conditioners and hot carpets, have become widespread instead of heating appliances in which exhaust from oil stoves and gas stoves is a problem. This largely depends on the progress of automation accompanying the progress of microcomputers and the improvement of control accuracy.

[0003] Recently, with the increase of the elderly population, the health consciousness of the people has been increasing, and this tendency has had a considerable effect on the heating system. That is,
The demands are changing from a heating system that heats a traditional room or part of a room (that is, where people are) to a heating system that heats a wider area and a healthier system. .

[0004] Specifically, floor heating systems that mainly heat the floor of a building using hot water or hot air, and a whole-building heating system that heats the entire building are incorporated in the construction or extension or renovation of ordinary houses. It is a situation that is being taken. The use of solar heat as a heat source is also spreading steadily, partly because of energy conservation, health-oriented viewpoints, and government support.

By the way, in order to construct the above-mentioned floor heating system or the whole building heating system of a general house, conventionally,
Since hot water and hot air were used, the construction took a long time and the construction cost was unavoidable. On the other hand, it is well known that an electric heating floor heating system using a thin panel-shaped heater has recently been developed and is rapidly spreading.

A newly developed PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is used in this electric heating type floor heating system.
A flexible sheet heating element (hereinafter, referred to as a sheet heater) is used. This sheet heater is
It was laid on the floor of a house or the like via a suitable heat insulating material, and a surface material was laid thereon to form a floor heating system.

As this type of planar heater, for example,
A product introduced in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun dated January 11, 1999 under the title "Low-priced floor heating using far-infrared rays" can be mentioned. This product is a mixture of carbon particles and special ink and printed on a transparent film, and has a thickness of 0.5 mm. When energized, a long-wavelength far-infrared ray is generated, and the temperature of the floor surface is raised to 20 to 32 ° C.
It can be adjusted between.

[0008] The far infrared rays described above include living things (here,
In addition to the direct heating effect of activating the molecules of human tissue by "resonance action" and generating heat,
It is said to have medical and beauty effects. As an example, a medical effect or a cosmetic effect, which is often pointed out, includes an increase in the temperature of the deep skin layer and an effect of promoting blood circulation by dilation of microvessels.

[0009]

The above-mentioned sheet heater has a self-temperature control type (Positive Tempera) as a heating element.
tureCoefficient), that is, a heating element having a positive temperature coefficient. For this reason, an extreme rise in temperature is suppressed autonomously, which is preferable from the viewpoint of safety.

[0010] By the way, the sheet heater having such excellent characteristics is not simply used as a material for floor heating, in order to further bring out its medical and cosmetic effects. It is effective to apply the method to the wall surface and ceiling of a house more widely.

That is, in order to use the sheet heater having the above-mentioned characteristics not only as a heating means but also as a means for promoting health more actively, not only as a floor material but also as a floor material, It is absolutely necessary to apply it to the walls and ceilings of houses more widely.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to suitably apply a planar heater having the above-described characteristics to a wall surface or a ceiling of a house. It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating unit for a heating system and a method for applying the same, which can be used.
