Definitions

  • ABSTRACT [30] Foreign Application Priority Data An areal heating element, having a polyurethane backing member with an embedding and sealing layer thereon in which Mar. 14, [969 Germany 10 is embedded a meandering heating conductor.
  • the present invention relates to an areal heating element for direct heating or for indirect heating with temporary buffer storage of thermal energy and using a meandering heating conductor.
  • the heating conductor is provided as a meandering element for a mat which is embedded in a layer of material such as is used or floor covering, e.g., flooring plaster, or in a layer of plastic material.
  • the embedded mat is disposed on a heat transfer impeding layer as backing member provided for disposition between the embedded heating conductor and the wall, floor ceiling etc., of the room or area to be heated.
  • a heat transfer impeding layer as backing member provided for disposition between the embedded heating conductor and the wall, floor ceiling etc., of the room or area to be heated.
  • the mat is embedded in the layer at a distance of one-third the thickness thereof from the surface having the backing, i.e., two-thirds down into the layer from the front.
  • the heating elements can be provided for standard heating power, i.e., in units for 0.5, l or 1.5 kilowatts.
  • the backing member is preferably made of polyurethane foam which was found to significantly impede heat transfer from the heating conductor to the wall.
  • FlG. 1 is a perspective view of a representative heating element in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section along lines 2-2 in FIG. 1.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is illustrated a heating conductor l, illustrated as a metallic wire or the like.
  • the heating conductor may be included in a corrugated, longitudinally seam welded tubing.
  • the heating conductor is provided in a meander pattern and forms a heating mat together with flat tapes 2.
  • the thus formed mat is embedded in a layer'4 of sealing material such as used for floor cover or of a suitable plastic material.
  • the thus embedded mat is disposed on a layer 3 which serves as backing member and impedes heat transfer.
  • the backing layer 3 establishes a direction of preferred heat transfer through the oppositely facing, front surface of embedding and sealing layer 4.
  • Layer 3 may consist, for example, of foamed polyurethane. It was found that particularly good heating is obtained if the heating conductor is placed into layer 4 at about two-thirds of its thickness down from the front, i.e., at one-third of the thickness of layer 4 above the interface with backing member 3.
  • Suitable hanger 5 may be embedded in layer 3, for example, for hanging the areal heating element on a wall or the like. However, the areal heating element may also be used as floor heater and can be installed accordingly.
  • the areal heating element as described is made as follows:
  • a flat mold is provided, and the material for forming layer 4 is poured into the mold to provide a flat layer therein having about two-thirds thickness of the embedding and sealing layer to be made ultimately.
  • a mat is made by means of a heating conductor 1 and of suitable pieces of tape 2. That mat is now placed likewise into the mold.
  • the remaining one-third thickness of the layer 4 is provided by pouring about half the amount of material as was used first onto the mat.
  • foamed polyurethane is placed thereon to establish backing member 3.
  • Hangers 5, if needed, are suitably placed to become anchored in the backing member.
  • the completed areal heating element can be handled easily. It can be stacked and transported and is easily attachable to vertical walls or the like. If the embedding layer 4 is rather thick, it serves as a thermobuffer, storing thermal energy to obtain uniform heating. Generally, the material for layer 4 should be selected to provide a high thermal energy transfer rate, and in cases, it should also have a rather high heat capacity.
  • the backing member provides insulation so that the efficiency of the areal heating element was found to be very high.
  • Areal heating element for direct or buffered heating of a room or an area and having two flat sides and two opposite ends, comprising a heat transfer impeding backing member made of polyurethane foam;
  • an embedding and sealing layer of plastic material on the backing member having a front surface for facing a room or area to be heated;
  • a heating conductor included in a corrugated longitudinally seam welded tubing and provided in a meandering configuration, disposed on and supported by the flat elements and also embedded in said layer, the meandering configuration running along the extension of the elements so that opposite ends of the heating conductor are provided for electrical connection and on opposite ends of the areal heating element.
