Definitions
- Resistive heating element and heating assembly comprising this element
- the invention relates to a heating element capable of dissipating heat when a potential difference is applied to its connection ends. It is in particular a heating element for an electric heating radiator, for example, an additional radiator for an air conditioning device of a motor vehicle.
- Heating elements of the heat exchanger type are already known which include resistive elements. The latter may be resistances to Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC) in the form of blocks or stones.
- PTC Positive Thermal Coefficient
- One known technique consists in using these stones to form heating bars which are introduced into tubes themselves assembled with radiant elements.
- a drawback lies in the fact that the resistive heating elements are small and must be integrated in a support which comprises numerous parts arranged one to the other.
- this support has the disadvantage of having to ensure both the mechanical maintenance of the stones spaced from each other and also the electrical contact between the stones and the power bars.
- the heating element must have heat exchange surfaces with the ambient air, so that the existing heating elements have fins or the like, thermally connected to the resistive heating elements, which further complicates its structure.
- the object of the invention is to provide a heating element which substantially remedies these drawbacks. This object is achieved thanks to the fact that it comprises a plurality of resistive walls, electrically connected to each other and spaced from each other.
- the walls may have planar faces and be connected at an angle between them to form one or more polyhedra. They can also have non-rectilinear sections and, for example, have concave or else convex side faces.
- the walls are generally thin walls, the thickness of which is for example between 0.2 mm and 2 mm.
- the walls of the heating element according to the invention behave like electrical resistances and are connected to each other while being spaced from each other. This means that there are at least two walls which are not joined to each other on their largest surface. In other words, one can find at least two walls which, while being electrically connected to each other via other walls or electrical conductors, are separated from each other by a space devoid of material. It is preferably a through space, so that the surfaces of these walls constitute heat exchange surfaces with the ambient medium.
- the heating element comprises a plurality of elementary resistive elements each having at least one resistive wall.
- the juxtaposition of the elementary resistive elements composes the heating element and one can choose that an elementary resistive element is integrally formed with a resistive wall (in the case of a cylindrical element) or several resistive walls.
- the elementary resistive elements are hollow cells whose walls form said resistive walls.
- the heating element is composed of a plurality of cells, the walls of which are the resistive walls of the invention and which, preferably, are hollow right through so as to be open to their two ends towards the outside environment to be heated.
- the cells can also open only on one side, for example in the case where the heating element is attached to a wall of a duct.
- the cross section of a cell is of polygonal shape.
- each cell can have the shape of a hollow prism whose base is polygonal, for example square or hexagonal, the prism advantageously being open at its base and at its opposite end, from 'such that the cell is traversing.
- the structure of the heating element is in the form of a honeycomb, that is to say a structure having similar hollow cells, attached to one another and opening out at least on one side of the heating element, preferably on its two opposite sides.
- the heating element has an overall parallelepiped shape, but other overall shapes can also be envisaged: for example rounded shapes in the event that the heating element surrounds an object to be heated.
- the resistive walls behave like resistances with Positive Thermal Coefficient (PTC). Resistors with Positive Thermal Coefficient offer an advantage in terms of safety since they allow by self-regulation to avoid excessive heating.
- the resistive walls are formed from a polymeric material.
- the advantage of using a polymer in place of conventional resistant materials of the stone or ceramic block type lies in the fact that the polymer is less expensive and above all of a more moldable use than the latter. In particular, it is possible to give it almost any geometric shape, and, consequently, to shape the hollow cells in the shape of a honeycomb according to the invention in an easy and inexpensive manner.
- the polymer can be, for example, a fluorinated polymer.
- the material thus formed has the properties of a resistance to a positive thermal coefficient.
- the polymer material is loaded with at least one additive which gives the material resistive and conductive properties.
- the heating element is produced by molding.
- the loaded material according to the invention is molded so as to obtain the desired shape.
- the molding of a heating element, type radiator is very interesting in the case where one would seek to obtain a heating element having a complex spatial geometry.
- molding a polymeric material is a relatively simple and inexpensive operation.
- the invention also relates to a heating assembly comprising a heating element according to the invention and two terminals electrically connected to said heating element and integral with the connection ends of the latter.
- the heating element is therefore supplied with electric current directly by its connection ends, preferably situated at the ends of the heating element, by means of two terminals.
- a connection end is generally formed by a group of cells bordering the heating element at one of its ends.
- the terminals are integral with the connection ends.
- the heating element is produced by molding and the terminals are secured to the connection ends of said element by overmolding.
- FIG. 1 represents a heating element 10 according to a first embodiment.
- the heating element 10 has the overall shape of a parallelepiped of length L, width / and depth P. It is composed of a plurality of identical cells 12 which have the shape of a straight polyhedron of square section s' extending longitudinally in the direction of the depth P.
- the cells 12 are juxtaposed one beside the other, being all parallel to the direction of the depth of the element 10. It is therefore understood, with the aid of FIG. 1 , that the length l c of the cells 12 defines the depth P of the heating element 10.
- Each cell consists of four side walls 14 and perpendicular two by two so as to have a square cross section.
- the walls 14 are identical and each have the shape of a parallelepiped of length P, of width C equal to the side of a cell and of thickness £
- the cells 12 are preferably hollow and open at both ends.
- two adjacent hollow cells 12 can have a wall 14 in common or else a common edge which corresponds to the intersection of two adjacent walls 14.
- the cells are arranged in columns 16 which extend in the transverse direction of the heating element 10.
- the heating element 10 includes n columns 16 juxtaposed and parallel to each other.
- the height of a column 16 defines the width / of the heating element 10 and the length of the n columns 16 defines the length L of the heating element 10.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show a second and a third embodiment of 'a heating element 10 according to the invention.
- the cross section of a hollow cell 12 is hexagonal.
- each wall 14 is composed at least of part of a polymeric material which may be, for example, of the fluorinated type.
- this polymer is loaded with additives promoting the conductivity of the polymer. Such additives give the polymer conductive properties with a PTC effect.
- connection ends 18, 20 of the heating element 10 are located at the ends of the element heater 10.
- the connection ends 18, 20 are formed by the hollow cells 12 situated on the edges on either side of the greatest length L of the heating element 10 and in the example shown in FIG. 3, the connection ends 18, 20 are formed by the hollow cells 12 situated on the edges on either side of the width / of the heating element 10.
- the principle of The increase in resistance as a function of temperature results from the fact that the polymer heats up and expands.
- each so-called resistive wall 14 has a resistance value.
- all the resistive walls 14 have the same resistance R to allow homogeneous dissipation of the heat. It is then demonstrated that the equivalent resistance of the heating element 10 is a function of the number of hollow cells 12 per column 16 and the number of columns 16. More exactly, the equivalent resistance is worth:
- V 2 "dissipated (> n ) - D n - m
- n is the number of columns 16 and m the number of hollow cells 12 per column 16 and V is the potential difference applied between the connection ends 18, 20 of the heating element 10.
- V is the potential difference applied between the connection ends 18, 20 of the heating element 10.
- R is the resistance of the two walls 15 which are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the heating element 10. It is shown that the equivalent resistance East :
- a is the number of hollow cells 12 in the first column 16 and b is the number of columns 16.
- a is the number of hollow cells 12 in the first column 16 and b is the number of columns 16.
- the heating element 10 is produced by molding, by example from charged polymer granules. These granules are brought to high temperature to have the desired viscosity and form a paste which is injected into a mold having the shape of the heating element 10.
- a heating assembly which further comprises two terminals 22, 24. These terminals 22, 24, visible in FIGS. 1 to 4, are metal rods or plates connected on the one hand to a voltage generator (not shown here) and on the other hand at the connection ends 18, 20 of the heating element 10.
- the latter are secured to the heating element 10 by overmolding.
- the overmolding of the terminals 22, 24 consists in including these terminals during the molding operation.
- the terminals are molded directly with the polymer in one go and without rework.
- the heating element may comprise plates 21 formed from the same material as the cells and which are located between the connection ends and the terminals so as to ensure good electrical contact between the terminals and the connection ends. Such plates 21 are shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4.
- the terminals 22, 24 are therefore rigidly secured to the heating element 10 and this avoids the risk of cutting the electrical connection between the connection ends 18, 20 and the terminals 22 , 24.
- heating elements 10 are structures of heating elements 10 specific to the object that one wishes to heat.
- the molding makes it easy to design heating elements 10 with a complex geometric structure.
- this heating assembly can be integrated into an • electric heating radiator for an air conditioning device of a motor vehicle. It can also be used in an air vent to heat a passenger compartment of the vehicle or, for example, be incorporated in a car seat to heat the latter.
