Description
Allg- 12, 1952 R. GEOFFRION HUMIDIFYING RADIATOR Filed Jan. 4, 1951 Kga? Patented Aug. 12,Y 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT UFFICE HUMIDIFYING RADIATOR Romo Geoffrion, Montreal, Quebec, Canada Application January 4, 1951, Serial No. 204,460
Claims.
The present invention pertains to a novel radiator designed for heating internal spaces.
The principal object of the invention is to provide such a radiator that humidies the air. Another object is to provide such a radiator by which the humidication is proportional to the quantity of heat discharged directly into the The water for humidifying is contained in two pockets formed at the top of the radiator housing at opposite ends thereof. In this connection another object of the invention is to provide means for equalizing the temperature in the pockets While at the same time providing added heating surface in close proximity to the heat generating means.
In the accomplishment of these objects, the housing of the radiator has an open bottom and a reticulated top. Tubes are laid along the bottom, and each contains a resistance coil, after which the tubes are packed With a heat conducting, electrically insulating material.
Baies are mounted across the upper corners of the housing to form water spaces. The spaces are joined by a pipe lying over and close to the tubes. The center of the pipe is formed With a coil for greater exposure to heat. Also, the pipe is iitted with a valve having its operating handle on the exterior of the housing.
The invention is fully disclosed by way of example in the following description and in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure l is a perspective View of the device, partly broken away;
Figure 2 is a detail cross section;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section;
Figure 4 is a section on the line 4--4 of Figure 2, and
Figure 5 is a plan section.
Reference to these views will now be made by use of like characters which are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout.
In Figure 1 is shown a radiator housing I with an open bottom 2. Inwardly adjacent to the end walls 3 of the housing are mounted insulating strips 4 near the bottom. These strips support a series of longitudinal tubes 5 in a horizontal plane. A conducting coil 6 is mounted in each tube, and their ends lie outside the coils where they are suitably interconnected by bars 'I and to supply conductors 8.
The tubes are packed with a suitable heat conducting, electrically insulating material 9 such as sand, asbestos or the like, to convey heat to the walls of the tubes. Rectangular radiating 2 fins I0 enclose the tubes and are common to all the tubes.
BaITles I I across the upper corners of the housing I form a pair of triangular Water spaces I2. The entire upper surface of the housing is perforated or reticulated at I3 for escape of heated air from the ns and escape of vapor from the spaces I 2. The water is warmed, if desired, by a pipe I4 joining the two spaces as shown in Figure 3. The center of the pipe has a coil I5 for greater exposure to the heat from the fins.
The pipe I4 contains a valve I6 for regulating or stopping the ow through the pipe. The valve is operated by a pointer handle I'I on the lateral Wall of the housing I, as shown in Figure l. A thermostat I8 is mounted on an end wall to control current in the coils 6 according to room temperature.
It will now be seen that vapor rises from the Water spaces I2 to humidify the air in the room, in proportion to the quantity of heat discharged through the intermediate portion of the screen Although a specific embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various alterations in the details of construction may be made Without departing from the scope of the invention asv indicated by the appended claims.
What I claim is:
l. In a radiator, a housing having an open bottom and a reticulated top, a series of tubes in said bottom, resistance coils in said tubes, baffles in opposite Aupper corners of said housing to form Water spaces, and a pipe connecting said spaces, said pipe lying over said tubes.
2. In a radiator, a housing having an open bottom and a reticulated top, a series of tubes in said bottom, resistance coils in said tubes, bales in opposite upper corners of said housing to form water spaces, and a pipe connecting said spaces, said pipe lying over said tubes, and a coil formed in said pipe.
3. In a radiator, a housing having an open bottom and a reticulated top, a series of tubes in said bottom, resistance coils in said tubes, baffles in opposite upper corners of said housing to form water spaces, and a pipe connecting said spaces, said pipe lying over said tubes, a coil formed in said pipe, and a valve in said pipe and having an operating handle on an outer wall of said housing.
4. In a radiator, a housing having an open bottom and a reticulated top, a series of tubes in said bottom, resistance coils in said tubes, said 5. In a radiator, a housing having an open 5 bottom and a reticulated top, a series of tubes in said bottom, resistance coils in said tubes, said tubes being packed with a heat conducting, electrically .insulated material, bafes .in4 opposite upper' corners of said housing to form Water spaces, and a pipe connecting said spaces, said pipe lying over said tubes, and a coil formed in said pipe. y
ROMEO GEOFFRION.
