THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In this detailed description, the subject matter improvement is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect in order to make the subject more understandable. Accordingly, in the detailed description and in the figures below, a radiator mechanism (10) is described whose efficiency is increased using a fan (20) and which comprises a thermoelectric element (22) and a fin (23).
In general, the radiator mechanism (10) comprises front and rear panels (1 1 , 12), a convector (13) connected between the panels (1 1 , 12), and a fan (20). The rear panel (12) is provided in a connected manner onto the wall (not illustrated in the figure) whereon the radiator mechanism (10) is connected by means of connection elements (not illustrated in the figure). The rear panel (12) is provided in a manner so as to be parallel with respect to the wall and so as to make a vertical angle with respect to the floor (not illustrated in the figure). The rear panel (12) has a rectangular cross section. There is a front panel (1 1 ) in connection which is at a certain distance from the rear panel (12) and which is parallel with respect to the rear panel (12). The front panel (1 1 ) is also embodied so as to have a rectangular cross section. The convector (13) is provided between the rear panel (12) and the front panel (1 1 ), which is in connection to both panels (1 1 , 12). The convector (13) is positioned so as to make a vertical angle with respect to the floor. The convector (13) has an accordion-like view and it is embodied so that air passes through the gaps in between. The region, provided between the convector and the floor, is defined as the bottom region (14). A rectangular cross sectioned transmission element (21 ), which is produced of a material whose heat transfer coefficient is high, is in connection to the rear panel's (12) surface which exists on the wall side. A thermoelectric element (22), which is embodied so as to have the same form as the transmission element (21 ), is in connection onto the transmission element (21 ) so as to provide sufficient heat transfer. The thermoelectric element (22) is provided in the region between the transmission element (21 ) and the wall. There is a fin (23) which is in connection onto the thermoelectric element (22). In general, the fin (23) is a rectangular cross sectioned element. The fin (23) is made of a material whose heat transfer coefficient is high and so as to reach the vicinity of the bottom region (14) of the radiator mechanism (10). When viewed from the cross section, the fin (23) has a view similar to letter L. The fin (23) is embodied so as to have vanes and so as to make a vertical angle with respect to the panels (1 1 , 12) between the projection of the front and rear panel (1 1 , 12) in the parts which are adjacent to the bottom region (14). The vanes (231 ) have rectangular cross section and they are parallel with respect to each other so that air flow can pass in between. When the vanes (231 ) are viewed from above, they have a comb-like view. The region, from which the vanes (231 ) of the fin (23) are extending, is at a vicinity of a region corresponding to the vertical alignment of the rear panel (12). There is thermal paste (not illustrated in the figure) between the transmission element (21 ) and the rear panel (12) and between the thermoelectric element (22) and the transmission element (21 ) and between the fin (23) and the thermoelectric element (22), in order to facilitate heat transfer between the elements. There is a connection element (24) in connection at a vicinity of the region from which the vanes (231 ) of the fin (23) extends. When viewed from the cross section, the connection element (24) has a view which is similar to letter L. The connection element (24) is positioned between the vanes (231 ) and the floor and so as to be parallel with respect to the vanes (231 ). There is a fan (25) in connection onto the connection element (24) in the region existing between the connection element (24) and the vanes (231 ); and the fan (25) is positioned so as to be parallel with respect to the floor.
The front panel (1 1 ) and the rear panel (12), provided on the radiator mechanism (10), provide the required surface for the connection of the convector (13) and the required air path in order for air flow to pass through the convector (13). The transmission element (21 ), which is in connection to the rear panel (12), receives heat from the rear panel (12) and transmits this heat to the thermoelectric element (22). By means of this, the surface of the thermoelectric element (22), which is in connection to the transmission element (21 ), reaches high temperature. The fin (23), which is in connection to the thermoelectric element (22), keeps the surface of the thermoelectric element (22) at a low temperature. By means of this, the thermoelectric element (22), where temperature difference occurs on the two surfaces thereof, produces electrical current and said thermoelectric element (22) provides the required power for the functioning of the fan (25). The fan (25) directs the cool air, drawn by the floor, towards the vanes (231 ) and the fan (25) provides cooling of the vanes (231 ) and thus cooling of the fin (23). Moreover, the air, which passes between the vanes (231 ), reaches the convector (13) and provides heat transfer on the convector (13) and it is spread to the ambience to be heated from the top point of the radiator mechanism (10). The thermal paste provided between the rear panel (12) and the transmission element (21 ); between the transmission element (21 ) and the thermoelectric element (22); between the thermoelectric element (22) and the fin (23) accelerates the heat transfer between elements which are made of different materials.
The heat, which is produced by the other elements (not illustrated in the figure) of the system used in space heating and which is transmitted to the radiator mechanism (10), is transmitted to the convector (13) by means of the front panel (1 1 ) and by means of the rear panel (12). Moreover, heat transfer is provided to the transmission element (21 ) by the rear panel (12) and thereby the temperature of the transmission element (21 ) is increasing. Heat transfer takes place between the transmission element (21 ) and the thermoelectric element (22) and temperature increases on the thermoelectric element's (22) surface in connection to the transmission element (21 ). Since the temperature is low on the thermoelectric element's (22) surface in connection to the fin (23), in other words, since there is temperature difference between the two surfaces of the thermoelectric element (22), electrical current is begun to be produced by the thermoelectric element (22). The produced electrical current is conducted to the fan (25) by means of cables (not illustrated in the figure), and thereby the fan (25) begins functioning. The functioning fan (25) provides air circulation on the vanes (231 ) and thus, it cools the vanes (231 ) and thus it cools the fin (23). Afterwards, the air, which passes through the vanes (231 ), enters into the convector (13) and it accelerates the air flow on the convector (13) and increases heat transfer. Thus, the efficiency of the radiator mechanism (10) increases and space, wherein the radiator mechanism (10) is provided, is heated in an easier manner. The fin (23), which is continuously cooled by means of the air flow provided by the fan (25) on the vanes (231 ), keeps the surface thereof, whereto the thermoelectric element (22) is connected, at a temperature which is lower than the temperature of the surface where the thermoelectric element (22) is in connection to the transmission element (21 ) and the system does not enter into the regime, and the thermoelectric element (22) produces electrical current in a continuous manner, and the fan (25) is provided to function.
Moreover, the fan mechanism (20) can be connected to any radiator by means of different assembly mechanisms and by means of different methods. The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed Claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
