Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heating device, in particular of the liquid circulation type, with a reinforced water chamber.
  • a common indoor heating system consists of radiators in which a heating liquid (typically hot water) circulates.
  • a heating liquid typically hot water
  • the radiators used in these systems may be made of various metal materials and are often formed of batteries of radiator elements which are manufactured separately and then joined together.
  • a typical radiator element has a substantially tubular body, provided with an inner chamber through which the water flows (water chamber) and with hydraulic connections for connection to other similar radiator elements and/or to a hydraulic circuit and arranged at the opposite ends of the element; two opposite partitions extend from the water chamber, along a centreline plane of the element, supporting, respectively, a front plate and a rear plate; a plurality of heat exchange fins extend from the tubular body.
  • radiators comprising such elements are entirely satisfactory and have now reached the limits of their performance and can be improved no further, or at least only minimally, especially in terms of their specific power per unit of weight, i.e., the ratio between the thermal power emitted by the radiator element and transferred to the environment (measured according to specific standards, for instance EN 442), and the weight of the element (which is the fundamental parameter directly affecting production costs) .
  • heating radiators provided with elements having structural functions inside the water chamber are not known in the prior art.
  • One purpose of the present invention is to provide a heating device, in particular (but not necessarily) made of aluminium, for heating indoor environments and which can also be used instead of conventional radiators or radiator elements, which has high/increased thermal efficiency and good mechanical strength and resistance to internal pressure .
  • the present invention thus relates to a heating device such as defined in its essential terms in the appended claim 1 and, in its secondary and preferred features, in the dependent claims.
  • the invention effectively overcomes the technical problem of increasing the mechanical strength of the water chamber and its ability to withstand pressure.
  • the invention achieves the technical result without increasing the thickness of the walls and leaving ample freedom of design in terms of the shape and dimensions of the water chamber.
  • the invention thus allows a high level of versatility in the design of the water chamber, in order to achieve further advantages, such as an increase in the efficiency and power of the heating device.
  • water chambers can be designed so as to achieve an adequate distribution of the water over all the available heat exchange surfaces, and/or to extend practically from the front of the device to the back, so that the heating liquid directly laps the main heat exchange surfaces (the largest surfaces) of said device.
  • the inventors of the invention in question have realised that to increase the power and general efficiency, rather than increasing the amount of water (as commonly believed in the prior art), the water must be appropriately distributed over the available heat exchange surfaces; but this requires the use of water chambers of a design that could undermine their structural properties and resistance to pressure.
  • the invention even allows these highly efficient designs to be used without increasing the thickness of the walls (which would clearly also increase the weight and cost) and without the use of other prior art design solutions, which would in any case undermine their thermal efficiency.
  • the heating device according to the invention offers adequate structural resistance, so that other water chamber designs can be used in place of conventional and more traditional ones, without undermining mechanical strength and resistance to internal pressure.
  • the invention is also suitable for use with water chambers of conventional design.

  • peripheral edges 6 are shaped so as to couple with one another to form the perimeter edge 7 of the chamber 3.
  • the pieces that comprise the main walls 24, 25 and the respective peripheral edges 6 are made for example of aluminium obtained by die-casting and joined, advantageously by means of the thermo-electric melting process described previously, along the respective peripheral edges 6, so as to form a mechanical and fluid- tight joint.
  • the joint (melting) along the peripheral edges 6 permits effective heat transmission by both of the main walls 24, 25 of the chamber 3 to the plates 4, 5.
  • the chamber 3 houses the ties 33, arranged between the main walls 24, 25 and securely fastened to both of the inner surfaces 26, 27 of the main walls 24, 25.
  • the ties 33 extend along respective axes parallel to the axis C and perpendicular to the faces 8, 11; and have a cross section (perpendicular to their axis, i.e., to the axis C) that is substantially circular. In any case, it is understood that the ties 33 may have a different shape from that illustrated here purely by way of example .
  • the ties 33 extend across the chamber 3 between the opposite walls 24, 25 with which they are integral and are positioned along the path of the heating liquid in the chamber 3, thus also having a function of distributing the heating liquid inside the chamber 3.
  • the elements 34 comprise flow conveyors 38 which extend inside the chamber 3 from at least one inner surface 26, 27 of the chamber 3. At least some of the ties 33 are obtained through the connection of respective facing pairs of conveyors 38.
  • the conveyors 38 are shaped so as to intercept and interrupt the spontaneous flow of the heating liquid circulating in the chamber 3 and to aid the even distribution of the water in the chamber 3.
  • a series of conveyors 38 extend from each surface 26, 27, i.e., from each main wall 24, 25 of the chamber 3; the conveyors 38 extend from each surface 26, 27 towards the opposite surface (with which they form a fluid-tight contact or from which they are spaced to permit the passage of heating liquid) and join one another in respective contact areas 39.
  • the contact areas 39 of counterposed conveyors 38 are integral with (firmly joined to or made in a single piece with) one another to define the ties 33.
  • the contact areas 39 are joined to one another by means of welding or thermo-melting, in particular by means of the aforesaid local thermo-electric melting process on the contact areas 39.
  • FIGS 9-11 illustrate a further embodiment of the heating device 1 according to the invention.
  • the walls 24, 25 are joined by a plurality of longitudinally elongated ties 33 which extend parallel to one another (and, for example, parallel to the axis A) and are laterally spaced (for example, parallel to the axis B) with respect to one another.
  • the ties 33 substantially extend for the entire height of the chamber 3, but are spaced from respective opposite longitudinal ends of the chamber 3 or have end apertures to permit the circulation of the heating liquid in the chamber 3.
  • This embodiment is advantageously (but not necessarily) defined starting from an extruded profile, in particular in aluminium, closed at respective opposite longitudinal ends by end heads .
