Description

Heating system for preventing condensation and windows including the same

The present invention relates to a heat generating system for preventing condensation, and more particularly, to a heat generating system for preventing condensation capable of preventing condensation due to a temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, and to windows and doors including the same.

In general, windows and doors are for blocking the inside (inside) of a building from the outside, and are installed in openings such as windows or entrances to open and close the inside and the outside.

Windows and doors can provide ventilation, ventilation and light through, and block external noise or prevent wind or rain from entering the room.

These windows are equipped with glass for daylighting.

Glass installed on windows and doors is an important medium that penetrates inside and outside the building.

However, windows and doors receive direct sunlight through glass to raise the indoor temperature, and drain the indoor heat as it is to lower the indoor temperature, which is a major cause of indoor energy loss.

In winter, the heating cost increases because the indoor heat flows out through the glass.

In particular, in winter, a temperature difference between indoors and outdoors occurs based on the glass of the window, and as the temperature of the glass surface decreases due to heat loss in the heat exchange portion of the glass, there is a problem in that dew condensation is eventually generated on the glass surface.

Condensation on the glass deteriorates visibility, and the moisture generated on the glass affects the windows and the walls where the windows are installed, thereby generating harmful substances such as mold on the windows as well as the walls.

In order to solve this problem, technology development for improving the thermal insulation performance of windows is being actively developed.

Recently, heating glass that is heated by coating a conductive layer on the glass surface of windows and doors has been developed, but this technique is not applied due to complex problems such as power consumption, stability, and difficulty in maintenance/repair.

In addition, as the glass of the system window, triple-layer glass or vacuum glass having relatively excellent thermal insulation performance is applied.

However, there is a problem in that dew condensation occurs on the glass surface (especially, the lower glass surface) of the system windows.

Accordingly, there is a need to develop a system for preventing condensation on the glass surface while maximally preventing condensation on the glass surface, and having stability in power consumption and convenient maintenance/repair.

In particular, the heating system 100 may be provided on the surface of the glass 12 of the lower end of the window (10).

At this time, the reason that the heating system 100 is installed only on the glass 12 part of the lower part of the window 10 is because a lot of dew condensation occurs on the glass 12 part of the lower part of the window 10 (part A in FIG. 1 ) Reference).

Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the window 10 including the heat generating system 100 and to effectively reduce the dew condensation generated on the glass 12 part of the window 10 even with relatively low power. .

3 to 7, the heating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention included in the window 10 will be described in detail.

3 to 7 , the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heat generating unit 110 and a driving unit 120 .

The heat generating unit 110 is a part that applies heat to the glass 12 mounted on the window 10 .

In other words, the heating unit 110 is provided on the surface of the glass 12 of the window 10 to heat the glass 12 .

In this case, it may be provided to be adjacent to the boundary portion of the frame 11 and the glass 12 of the window 10 of the heat generating unit 110 .

In particular, the heat generating unit 110 may be provided to be adjacent to the boundary of the lower frame 11 and the glass 12 of the window 10, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

At this time, as described above, the heat generating unit 110 is provided between the frame 11 and the glass 12 located at the lower end of the window 10, the glass 12 portion of the lower end of the window 10 is This is mainly because it is a condensation generating site (A).

Of course, the heat generating unit 110 is not only the boundary between the lower frame 11 and the glass 12 of the window 10, but also the upper frame 11 and the glass 12 of the window 10 or the window ( 10) may be provided at the boundary between the side frame 11 and the glass 12, but it is sufficient to provide only the glass 12 at the lower end of the window 10 where a lot of dew condensation occurs.

In this way, since the heat generating unit 110 is provided only on the glass 12 of the lower end of the window 10, the manufacturing cost of the window 10 including the heat generating system 100 is reduced, and the heat generating unit ( By operating the 110) normally, the occurrence of dew condensation on the windows and doors 10 can be prevented as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the heat generating unit 110 may be provided along the width direction of the glass 12 . For reference, the width direction of the glass 12 may be the same as the horizontal direction of the window 10 on which the glass 12 is mounted.

In addition, the heat generating unit 110 includes a heat generating member 112 provided to be in contact with the surface of the glass 12 to generate heat and a heat generating cover 114 surrounding the heat generating member 112 .

Here, the surface of the glass 12 on which the heating member 112 is provided may be a portion located in a space (indoor space) having a relatively high temperature.

The heating member 112 is provided along the width direction of the glass 12 , and may be provided with the same length as the width direction of the glass 12 .

For reference, the heating member 112 may be attached to the surface of the glass 12 by applying an adhesive to the attachment surface B, but is not limited thereto.

Such a heating member 112 may be provided as a planar heating element, and the shape may vary.

The heating cover 114 is to prevent damage to the heating member 112 .

To this end, the heating cover 114 may be provided to surround the heating member 112 . At this time, the heating cover 114 is provided to surround the remaining surface except for the attachment surface (B) of the heating member 112 in contact with the surface of the glass 12 .

As described above, since the heating cover 114 is provided in a shape surrounding the heating member 112 , damage to the heating member 112 is prevented, thereby allowing the heating member 112 to be used for a long period of time. In addition, the heating cover 114 may prevent heat generated from the heating member 112 from being lost while allowing the heat generated from the heating member 112 to be well transferred to the surface of the glass 12 .

The driving unit 120 is a part that supplies power to the heat generating unit 110 or controls the operation of the heat generating unit 110 .

The driving unit 120 may be provided to be in contact with the boundary portion of the glass 12 located at the lower end of the window 10 together with the heat generating unit 110 , but is not limited thereto.

The driving unit 120 may include a control unit 122 and a power supply unit 124 .

The control unit 122 controls the operation of the heat generating unit 110 .

For example, the control unit 122 may be provided as a PCB circuit, but is not limited thereto.

The power supply unit 124 is connected to the control unit 122 or the heating unit 110 to supply power to the heating unit 110 .

In this case, in the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit 124 may be provided as a rechargeable battery. In particular, the power supply unit 124 may be provided as a rechargeable battery (secondary cell) capable of charging and discharging, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, a charging port (not shown) for charging the power supply unit 124 may be separately provided in the driving unit 120 .

Although not shown in the drawings, the charging port provided in the driving unit 120 may be in the form of a generally used charging port.

Moreover, the driving unit 120 may further include a confirmation unit (not shown).

The check part is a part for checking the remaining battery amount of the power supply unit 124 provided as a chargeable/dischargeable battery of the driving unit 120 .

For example, the confirmation unit may be an LED having various colors, but is not limited thereto.

In particular, the power supply unit 124 may be provided as a battery having a low power of 10W or less.

As described above, since the heat generating unit 110 is not provided on the entire portion of the glass 12 but is formed only on a portion (lower end), the heat generating unit 110 can be normally driven even with low power.

Accordingly, even if the power supply unit 124 of the driving unit 120 is provided with a battery having a low power of 10W or less, it is possible to heat the glass 12 by driving the heat generating unit 110 normally, so that condensation on the surface of the glass 12 occurrence can be effectively prevented.

Meanwhile, the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a first sensor unit 130 .

The first sensor unit 130 is a part that senses the surface temperature of the glass 12 . At this time, the first sensor unit 130 is attached to the surface of the glass 12 in a space (indoor space) having a relatively high temperature together with the heat generating unit 110 and the driving unit 120 to measure the surface temperature of the glass 12 . detect

The surface temperature of the glass 12 sensed by the first sensor unit 130 is transmitted to the control unit 122 .

Meanwhile, the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a second sensor unit 132 .

The second sensor unit 132 is a part that senses the temperature and humidity of the indoor space.

The temperature and humidity of the indoor space sensed by the second sensor unit 132 are transmitted to the control unit 122 .

Here, the dew point temperature may be set according to the temperature and humidity of the indoor space sensed by the second sensor unit 132 .

For example, when the temperature and humidity of the indoor space sensed by the second sensor unit 132 are high, the dew point temperature is set to be low, and when the detected temperature and humidity of the indoor space are low, the dew point temperature is generally set to be high.

For reference, the dew point temperature means the lowest temperature when water vapor is cooled to the extent that it forms dew before becoming water. In other words, the dew point temperature means a temperature that can prevent dew condensation from occurring on the surface of the glass 12 . The dew point temperature according to the domestic KS standard is set based on an environment where the indoor temperature is 25 degrees and the indoor humidity is 50%. At this time, the dew point temperature is 15.4 degrees.

In particular, the control unit 122 controls the operation of the heat generating unit 110 so that the surface temperature of the glass 12 sensed by the first sensor unit 130 is maintained higher than the set dew point temperature. In other words, the control unit 122 sets the dew point temperature according to the indoor temperature and humidity sensed by the second sensor unit 132, and compares the set dew point temperature with the glass ( 12) to control the heat generating unit 110 so that the surface temperature of the high is maintained.

For example, the control unit 122 determines that the surface temperature of the glass 12 sensed by the first sensor unit 130 is about 1 degree higher than the dew point temperature set according to the indoor temperature and humidity values measured by the second sensor unit 132 . When it is high, the heating unit 110 may be controlled to operate. Conversely, when the surface temperature of the glass 12 sensed by the first sensor unit 130 is about 2 degrees higher than the set dew point temperature, the control unit 122 may control the heating unit 110 to not operate.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6 , in the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the driving unit 120 including the control unit 122 and the power supply unit 124 has a compact structure. It may be provided as one kit (KIT).

In this case, the driving unit 120 may be provided to have a smaller length in the width direction as compared to the heat generating unit 110 , but is not limited thereto, and may be formed to have the same length in the width direction as the heat generating unit 110 . .

The driving unit 120 provided as a kit may be provided to be detachable from the heat generating unit 110 . Accordingly, the driving unit 120 may increase convenience in maintenance/repair of the control unit 122 and the power supply unit 124 .

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawings, in a modification of the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the heat generating unit 110 and the driving unit 120 may be provided in the form of a single kit (KIT). .

Unlike the above-described embodiment, the heat generating unit 110 and the driving unit 120 may be provided as one to be detachably attached from the surface of the glass 12 .

Accordingly, convenience in maintenance/repair of the driving unit 120 as well as the heat generating unit 110 may be increased. Moreover, the driving unit 120 and the heat generating unit 110 can immediately change the installation positions according to the location of the occurrence of condensation on the surface of the glass 12, so that there is an effect that can immediately cope with the occurrence of condensation.

Experimental example

Referring to the comparative example in [Table 1], in the case of a window with a heating system installed on the entire area of the glass, to raise the surface temperature of the glass by 1 degree, the amount of electricity per hour must be consumed more than 30 W/Hr to prevent dew condensation on the glass appeared not to In addition, it was found that the thermal insulation properties of windows and doors installed over the entire area of glass were lower than that of general windows, and in particular, it was found that it was difficult to repair the heating system.

On the other hand, referring to the embodiment of [Table 1], in the case of the window 10 including the heating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the heating system is installed on a part of the glass, the glass 13 It was found that no dew condensation occurred on the glass even when relatively low power was consumed, about 0.6 W/Hr of power per hour to raise the surface temperature by 1 degree. In addition, it was found that the windows 10 including the heat generating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention have the same thermal insulation properties as general windows, and in particular, it was found that it is relatively easy to repair the heat generating system installed in the windows.

Therefore, the heat generating system 100 and the windows 10 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent the occurrence of condensation on the surface of the glass 12 due to the indoor/outdoor temperature difference even with low power, and maintain and It has the advantage of easy maintenance.
