Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structural element with a controllable heat transfer coefficient U and the use thereof as a wall and/or roof element in buildings or vehicles and to a method for controlling the heat transfer coefficient U in such a structural element.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U is a specific characteristic value of a compound unit or building material which in principle indicates the heat insulating properties thereof.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U became particularly significant, if not before, when the amended energy-saving order [Energieeinsparver inch (EnEV)] came into force in Germany in the year 2009, providing that the annual primary energy requirement and the specific transmission heat loss of a building to be erected must be kept within specific limit values.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U is thereby included in the calculation of the transmission heat loss and this in turn is included in the calculation of the primary energy requirement.
  • the energy-saving order prescribes limit values for the heat transfer coefficient U for specific compound units, when they are being replaced in existing buildings or are included in a newly built structure.
  • insulating elements that are used for the heat insulating of buildings are known from the prior art. They generally consist of one or more insulating layers of an insulating material (for example foams, expanded polymer materials). Depending on the nature of the insulating material, a protective layer is applied on the outer side of such insulating elements. These insulating elements serve in particular for preventing an outflow of heat from the interior of a building to the outside. At the same time, a heat flow into a building can likewise be reduced. According to the prior art, most insulating elements have fixed insulating properties, that is to say the insulating property can only be controlled by varying the thickness and/or number of insulating elements. However, it is not possible in this way to react flexibly to prevailing temperatures at a given time inside and outside a building.
  • DE 10 2006 024 067 A1 describes an insulating element which is suitable in particular for the inside and/or outside insulation of buildings.
  • the insulating properties of the insulating element described there can be changed according to the desired inside temperature of the building or according to the outside temperature and/or solar irradiation, in particular by changing the heat transfer coefficient U and/or the reflection properties of the insulating element itself.
  • the insulating element is in this case provided with an insulating material which can be changed in its position, so that the insulating material used contributes completely, partially or scarcely at all to the insulation of the building.
  • the insulating material may be completely or partially compressed, in order to completely or partially release the heat flow through the insulating element.
  • a major disadvantage of all embodiments of the prior art is that great amounts of material have to be moved or compressed, since the surface area of the element must be substantially filled with or freed from insulating material.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,058,109 a device for insulating and/or solar heating is disclosed.
  • This device is applied to the facade of an existing building and consists of a transparent panel which is set in front of a wall and thereby encloses a defined space with the wall.
  • a heat absorber of a closed-cell insulating material is arranged within the defined space. This heat absorber has openings, so that, depending on the temperature conditions, a convection flow can form within the device described.
  • US 2003/0061776 A1 discloses an insulating system with a variable heat transfer coefficient, which is based on an inflatable structure and thus reacts to a change in the ambient temperature by changing its volume. This allows the rate of heat transfer therethrough to be controlled.
  • AT 380 946 B1 discloses what is referred to as a heat exchange wall, which substantially consists of an insulating sheet which is surrounded by a system of tubes and in which a gaseous heat transfer medium can circulate, the circulation of which can be automatically shut off as a result of the special design of the system of tubes.
  • An automatic shut-off is not necessarily advisable for an insulating element with switchable insulating behavior, since, depending on the weather situation, the same temperature differences may make strong insulation or else reduced insulation appear advisable.
  • the insulating element described in AT 380 946 B1 is of a comparatively complicated construction, and accordingly can only be produced poorly.
  • FR 2 798 991 A1 presents an element in the case of which the wall is divided into rhomboidal cells, in which it is possible by inclination of an insulating element fitted in them to allow a convection stream to flow around the element or prevent it.
  • this element is in turn comparatively complicated to produce.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a structural element ( 1 ) with a controllable heat transfer coefficient U that comprises
  • the aforementioned object is achieved by the use of the structural element ( 1 ) according to the invention as a wall and/or roof element in buildings or vehicles.
  • the third aspect of the present invention achieves the underlying object by a method for controlling the heat transfer coefficient U in a structural element ( 1 ) according to the invention, comprising the steps of
  • the present invention is based on the realization that the heat transfer through a structural element ( 1 ) of the type described can be controlled by forming and regulating an internal convection flow.
  • the structural element ( 1 ) according to the invention it has surprisingly been found that it is possible with the structural element ( 1 ) according to the invention to minimize significantly the energy requirement of a building and thus to utilize optimally the prevailing temperatures inside and outside a building and even to do so in a technically simple manner. It is of advantage that, according to the present invention, the heat transfer coefficient U can be controlled according to requirements and independently of the prevailing inside/outside temperatures.
  • the present invention is specified more precisely below.

  • the design of the first and second sheets ( 3 , 5 ) is described in more detail below.
  • the form of the structural element ( 1 ) can be freely chosen and adapted to the requirements for its installation position and/or use within wide limits.
  • a preferred embodiment is an approximately cuboid element.
  • other geometrical forms can also be realized with the structural element ( 1 ) according to the invention, depending on the installation situation, for example the basic form of a triangle, a pentagon or the like. Further designs of the frame are defined below.
  • the structural element ( 1 ) comprises at least one two-dimensional element ( 9 ), which is arranged substantially centrally such that the internal convection flow around the two-dimensional element ( 9 ) is possible, the convection flow being conducted from the side of the structural element ( 1 ) on which heat is supplied, through the upper intermediate space ( 11 ) to the other side of the two-dimensional element ( 9 ), where the convection flow can give off heat to the opposite side, and subsequently flows back through the lower intermediate space ( 13 ) to the side of the heat supply.
  • the two-dimensional element ( 9 ) consists in particular of an insulating material.
  • the structural element ( 1 ) for regulating the internal convection flow, comprises at least one means by which opening and/or closing of one of the intermediate spaces ( 11 , 13 ) is performed, whereby in turn the convection flow is controlled.
  • the term “means”, as it is used in the present case, describes on the one hand measures and on the other hand devices by which the convection flow can be controlled. Preferred designs are defined below. If the means are devices, they may be arranged both on and/or in the frame ( 7 ) and on and/or in the two-dimensional element ( 9 ), in order to control the convection flow in the way according to the invention. Furthermore, the means also include auxiliary structures for achieving the control according to the invention of the convection flow.
  • structural element should be understood for the purposes of the present invention as meaning that the structural element ( 1 ) is suitable both for wall surfaces and for roof surfaces.
  • the structural element ( 1 ) is self-supporting and can therefore be fitted on its own into a shell of a building as a wall and/or roof element.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U (formerly also “k value”) describes a heat equalization as a result of a temperature difference between different energy systems.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U is consequently a measure of the rate of heat transfer.
  • the power (amount of energy per unit time) that flows through a surface area of one square meter when the difference in temperature between the air on the two sides of a wall is one Kelvin is given as the heat transfer coefficient U.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U is defined internationally in the standard EN ISO 6946. Its unit of measure is W/(m 2 ⁇ K).
  • the required dimensioning values for the heat transfer coefficient U are stipulated in the standards EN 12524 and DIN 4108-4.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U consequently indicates the rate of heat transfer through a single- or multi-ply layer of material when there are different temperatures on the two sides.
  • the heat transfer coefficient U can be varied between a value determined by the insulating materials in the layers contained in the structural element ( 1 ) and a value determined by the convection around these.
  • cavity is understood as meaning the space that is substantially invariable in its dimensions between a sheet ( 3 , 5 ), i.e. between the first sheet ( 3 ) or the second sheet ( 5 ), and a two-dimensional element ( 9 ), while “intermediate space” refers to a space between a two-dimensional element ( 9 ) and a frame ( 7 ) that can be closed in a suitable way.
  • references to “vertically upward” and “vertically downward” are to be understood in the context of the present invention as though they relate not only to perpendicularly aligned structural elements ( 1 ) but also to structural elements ( 1 ) that are arranged at a certain angle with respect to the perpendicular.
  • the reference to “vertically upward” then means that the upper intermediate space ( 11 ) is arranged substantially above the lower intermediate space ( 13 ), in particular obliquely above it.
  • the gas filling the volume V is chosen from argon, krypton, xenon, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, partially halogenated hydrocarbons, halides of chalcogens and/or pycnogens and mixtures thereof, in order to achieve additional improvements in the insulating effect of the structural element or in the order of magnitude of the heat transfer.

  • suitable means for example upward, so that it closes the upper intermediate space 11 , as is represented in FIG. 4 a .
  • the gas volume in the first cavity 15 that has been heated by the heat W 1 can rise upward, the formation of a convection flow is not possible due to the closed upper intermediate space 11 .
  • FIG. 2 acts in a similar way when the first and/or second two-dimensional element or elements 9 , 9 a , 9 b are displaced such that one of the intermediate spaces 11 a , 11 b , 13 a , 13 b , i.e. the first upper intermediate space 11 a , the second upper intermediate space 11 b , the first lower intermediate space 13 a , the second lower intermediate space 13 b , is closed.
  • One possible configuration is represented in FIG.
  • the configurations in FIGS. 3 a and 3 b represent the state in which the structural element 1 has a maximum heat transfer coefficient U, that is to say it makes a maximum heat transfer possible.
  • the configurations in FIGS. 4 a and 4 b represent a state in which the structural element 1 has its minimum heat transfer coefficient U, that is to say offers maximum heat insulation.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective representation of the structural element 1 shown in FIG. 1 , from which it is clear in particular how the two-dimensional element 9 finishes laterally with the frame 7 .
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the structural element according to the invention with reduced flow resistance, the reduction in the flow resistance occurring as a result of the rounding 25 of the edges of the two-dimensional element 9 and as a result of the round shaping 27 of the corners of the first and/or second sheets 3 , 5 .
  • the advantage of such an embodiment is that, with the same temperature difference, a greater convection flow results, and more energy can thereby be transferred, while in the closed case ( FIGS. 4 a , 4 b ) there is no deterioration of the insulating effect.
  • the structural element 1 it is also possible for more than two two-dimensional elements 9 , 9 a , 9 b to be provided in the defined volume V. Moreover, it may be of advantage to reduce the third cavity 23 formed between two first and second two-dimensional elements 9 a , 9 b to a minimum, to the extent of the embodiment where the first and second two-dimensional elements 9 a , 9 b are touching.
  • active convection elements may be integrated into the first cavity 15 and/or into the second cavity 17 .
  • “Active convection elements” are understood as meaning for example small rotors that promote the formation of the convection flow and maintain it. As a result, in particular the shift stroke between the side with the higher temperature T 2 and the side with the lower temperature T 1 is increased.
  • the structural element 1 according to the invention can in particular be used for the purpose of removing heat from buildings. This may be advantageous for example at the warm time of year.
  • Application of the structural element 1 according to the invention for heat dissipation from industrial constructions is also conceivable.
  • the first and/or second sheets 3 , 5 may be provided either in a perpendicular or an inclined configuration. In this way, both wall surfaces and sloping roof surfaces can be formed.
  • the angle of the sloping roof surfaces in relation to the perpendicular is substantially between 0° and 90°, preferably between 5° and 60°.
  • Imperative for use in flat roof surfaces is the use of inflatable bellows, slides, flaps and wedges instead of the displacement of the two-dimensional elements 9 , 9 a , 9 b , since they would involve a high amount of friction and resulting damage to the two-dimensional elements 9 , 9 a , 9 b .
  • slightly different dimensioning of the structural elements 1 is possibly necessary.
  • the structural element 1 according to the invention can accordingly be used as a wall and/or roof element in a shell, without further wall elements or roof elements having to be provided.
  • the structural element 1 according to the invention can also be used as a classic insulating element for mounting on a facade.
  • the at least one two-dimensional element 9 is formed from a flexible, open-cell foam on a melamine resin basis, which is commercially available under the designation Basotect® (BASF SE). Basotect® displays the same physical properties over a wide temperature range, with at the same time low weight, good heat insulating properties and high sound absorption characteristics. Moreover, Basotect® is flame resistant (without the addition of flame retardants), which makes a structural element 1 according to the invention comprising this material particularly suitable for wall and/or roof elements.

  • optical and creative effects can be achieved by a diffuser effect of structured sheets 3 , 5 and/or structured two-dimensional elements 9 , 9 a , 9 b.
  • the distance A between the first sheet 3 and the second sheet 5 is ⁇ 50 cm, preferably ⁇ 35 cm, particularly preferably between 5 cm and 12 cm. It generally applies that, the higher the structural element 1 is, the wider the first and second cavities 15 , 17 have to be chosen in order to bring about a spontaneous convection even when there are small differences in temperature. This ratio of the height of the structural element 1 to the width of the first and second cavities 15 , 17 is very sensitive and needs to be set precisely.
  • the structural elements 1 according to the invention are not subject to any size limitation. From a practical viewpoint, a height of up to 1.5 m has been found to be appropriate. The width of the elements is substantially limited by the stability of the materials used and is appropriately up to 5 m. For reasons of thermally induced pressure changes, the gas volume enclosed in the structural element 1 should be kept as small as possible.
