Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heating apparatus, with a wall, the inside of which has adjoining it a region for the routing of hot exhaust gases, a housing which at least partially surrounds the wall, a medium to be heated flowing through an interspace between the wall and the housing, and a thermoelectric device which is arranged in the interspace and has a plurality of thermoelement legs and which is suitable for generating an electrical voltage on account of a temperature difference between the exhaust gases and the medium to be heated.
  • a device of this type is known from DE 102 35 601 A1.
  • the ability to convert heat energy into electrical energy by means of a device of this type makes it possible to generate the electrical energy required for operating the heating apparatus, for example for feeding a blower and a control, in the heating apparatus itself.
  • the electrical energy thus generated may likewise be made available to other consumers in the motor vehicle, for example by feeding into the vehicle electrical power supply.
  • the arrangement shown in DE 102 35 601 A1 has a thermoelectric device in the form of a thermoelectric module which is arranged between a first wall portion forming the “hot side” and a heat exchanger forming the “cold side”.
  • thermoelectric module When the heating apparatus is in operation, therefore, a voltage can be picked up on the thermoelectric module, although problems with regard to maintaining as high temperature differences as possible, to thermal expansions and to a deficient thermal conductivity between the thermoelectric module and the wall portion or the heat exchanger may arise.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to overcome at least partially these problems of the prior art and in this case, in particular, to improve the thermal and mechanical conditions of the arrangement and the configuration possibilities in the set-up.
  • the invention builds on the generic heating apparatus in that the wall is designed to be at least partially electrically insulating, in that the thermoelement legs are supported with a first end region, via electrically conductive layers, on a heat contact portion of the wall, in that an at least partially electrically insulating heat exchanger is provided, which is arranged opposite the heat contact portion of the wall, in that the thermoelement legs are supported with a second end region, via electrically conductive layers, on the electrically insulating heat exchanger, and in that the electrically conductive layers connect the respective end regions of the thermoelement legs at least partially to one another.
  • an arrangement is selected consisting of individual thermoelement legs which are supported directly on the heat source or the heat sink via layers, in particular printed metallic conductor tracks.
  • both the wall or at least that region of the wall on which the thermoelement legs are arranged and the heat exchanger are manufactured from electrically insulating, but nevertheless thermally conductive materials.
  • the electrical conditions are determined by the arrangement of the electrically conductive layers which selectively connect the end region of the thermoelement legs to one another. This arrangement also affords a suitable starting point, as described in more detail below, for avoiding thermal shunts between the heat sink and heat source and for providing a sufficient mechanical compensation capacity with regard to thermal expansions.
  • the wall consists at least partially of an electrically insulating ceramic having high thermal conductivity.
  • the electrically insulating heat exchanger consists at least partially of a ceramic having high thermal conductivity.
  • the ceramic for the wall and/or for the electrically insulating heat exchanger may have aluminum nitride. Ceramics of this type can fulfill the requirements of high thermal conductivity, at the same time with electrical insulation.
  • the printed conductor tracks can, for example, be manufactured from aluminum, with the result that, because of the high affinity between aluminum and aluminum nitride, the connection between the thermoelement legs and the fastening points is stabilized.
  • thermoelement legs may be provided in series with one another.
  • thermoelement legs it is likewise possible for the electrically conductive layers to connect the thermoelement legs in parallel with one another.
  • thermoelement legs in parallel with one another and to connect these groups in series with one another.
  • the voltages desired for given temperature conditions can thus be generated by means of the series connection of the thermoelement legs, while sufficiently high currents are made available by virtue of the parallel connection of individual thermoelement legs or of the thermoelement legs combined into groups.
  • the medium to be heated to be liquid, in particular water, and for the heat contact portion to lie opposite a flame tube end.
  • the invention can therefore be employed within the framework of what is known as a water heating apparatus.
  • it is useful to provide the heat contact portion opposite to a flame tube end, that is to say in the region of the burner bottom. The highest temperatures occur at this point, so that the thermoelectric device can operate with high efficiency.
  • thermoelement legs between the wall and the electrically insulating heat exchanger to be sealed off by means of a sealing device against the ingress of the liquid medium to be heated, and for the sealing device to be suitable for compensating thermally induced expansions.
  • the seal thus at the same time ensures that no water comes into contact with the thermoelement legs and that sufficient mechanical flexibility is made available for the compensation of thermal expansions.
  • the seal may have, in particular, two components. One component is optimized in terms of heat insulation, and the other component serves for providing the useful elasticity which compensates thermal expansions. With a suitable choice of material, these two components may be implemented in the form of one unitary component, that is to say in the form of a highly heat-insulating elastic seal.
  • a compound seal of this type may be designed, for example, as a silicone/Al 2 O 3 seal.
  • the medium to be heated to be gaseous, in particular air
  • the heat contact portion to lie in the region of an inlet for the gaseous medium to be heated.
  • the invention can therefore also be implemented within the framework of what are known as air heating apparatuses. Since the air has the lowest temperature in the region of the air inlet, but heats up rapidly when it passes through the heating apparatus, it is expedient, in order to achieve as high a thermoelectric efficiency as possible, to arrange the thermoelectric device in the region of the air inlet.
  • thermoelectric device in the air heating apparatus, there is expediently provision for an interspace, receiving the thermoelement legs, between the wall and the electrically insulating heat exchanger to be protected by means of a windbreak against the ingress of the gaseous medium to be heated. Since the functioning capacity of the device would be adversely influenced by the contact of the thermoelement legs with cold air, the simple measure of a windbreak constitutes a useful development of the invention.
  • thermoelectric device there must be provision for the thermoelectric device to be supported on the housing via an elastic connection.
  • This mounting of the thermoelectric device makes available an improvement in the compensation of thermally induced expansions.
  • the thermoelectric device is thus held in a stable way, but the elastic mounting makes sufficient flexibility available.
  • thermoelectric device is supported on the housing via a heat exchanger and elastic means.
  • the heat exchanger around which the liquid or gaseous heat transfer medium flows, can thus assume the task of providing an elastic connection.
  • thermoelectric device may be supported on the housing via a heat exchanger and a plate supporting the heat exchanger and equipped with elastic means.
  • the elastic connection comprises cup springs.
  • the invention is developed particularly advantageously in that a mechanical connection between the wall and the heat exchanger has a heat-insulating material. Undesirable thermal compensation between the wall and the heat exchanger is thereby avoided, so that the thermoelectric device can operate with high efficiency.
  • the heat-insulating material may contain aluminum oxide and/or mullite.
  • connection between the first housing and the heat exchanger has a sealing device which is suitable for sealing off the thermoelectric device against the medium to be heated and for compensating thermally induced expansions.
  • the heat exchanger and the heat-insulating material and/or the sealing device may be produced in one piece.
  • the possibility of implementing these one-piece versions depends, in turn, on the suitable choice of material for the structural parts used.
