Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with an electric heater for automobile ventilation systems.
  • Car passenger compartments have been traditionally heated by heat exchangers placed in the air path of the compartment ventilation system and connected in the hydraulic circuit of the cooling system of the vehicle engine. More recently, in order to have an immediately effective heating also at initial start of the car, heat exchangers are supplemented more and more with electric heaters, generally using PTC resistors (also called thermistors) as heating sources. These electric heaters are installed in the air conduit within the ventilation cabinet to be traversed by the ventilation airflow, and they are usually turned on for transient periods.
  • PTC resistors also called thermistors
  • EP-1 370 117 discloses an electric heater of the above type, in which PTC pellets are clamped between stacked radiators consisting of fretted aluminum bars which also lead the electric current to the PTC pellets and are in thermal and electric contact therewith.
  • the stack of radiators is encased in a rectangular frame comprising leaf springs acting on both sides of the stack to compress it in order to maintain an efficient conduction between the radiators and the PTC pellets.
  • US5854471 discloses an electrical heater for automobile ventilator systems comprising a number of elongated radiators in thermal and electrical contact with PTC pellets. Said contact is ensured by a wavy-formed metal part acting as a spring against the flat-opposed surfaces of the radiators.
  • the main object of this invention is now to provide an electric heater of the above type, which is less complex, less expensive and more efficient than the electric heaters of the prior art. More particular aims of the invention are to reduce the number of parts of the heater, to simplify its assembly, and to increase the total heat exchange surface between the heater and the flow of air crossing the heater.
  • an electric heater according to the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises six elongated radiators 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, which are arranged one above another to form a stack.
  • Each radiator is a bar of aluminum or of a similar conductive material, that is fretted or windowed to allow air to flow across it.
  • each of the four innermost radiators 12, 14, 16, 18 has a flat surface 22 on one side and is fretted with comb fins such as 24, 26, 28 on the opposite side.
  • the flat surface 22 has spaced recesses such as 30, and the comb fins are uneven in length, with longer fins such as 24 alternating with groups of shorter fins such as 26, 28.
  • the outermost radiators 10, 20 are fretted with closed windows, the internal profile of each window also being comb-shaped.
  • Each of the six radiators is provided with a respective electric terminal, preferably made as an integral lug such as 32, carrying a swaged metal tongue 34.
  • the six radiators are arranged in parallel pairs 10 and 12, 14 and 16, 18 and 20, with mutually facing flat surfaces 22 in each pair. Between the flat surfaces in each pair, a number of PTC pellets such as 36 are clamped to be in thermal and electric conduction with each radiator of the associated pair.
  • Each PTC pellet is encased in a respective rectangular gasket such as 38, made of a soft synthetic material such as a silicone resin, which makes a tight contact with the adjacent flat surfaces of the encompassing radiators, so that the PTC pellet is protected from the flow of air and therefore from oxidation which might be caused by humidity and pollutants.
  • the combs of radiators 12 and 14, as well as the combs of radiators 16 and 18, also face each other, and the uneven comb fins are designed so that in each radiator a longer fin 24 will be aligned with a short fin 26, 28 of the adjacent radiator.
  • Steel slats 40, 42 are arranged between the facing combs of radiators 12, 14 and 16, 18, respectively, so that they will be elastically deformed by the interplay of the longer and shorter fins of the facing combs, to operate as a leaf spring acting to expand the stack of radiators in a crosswise direction and bias the facing flat surfaces in each pair of radiators against each other, for a good contact with the sandwiched PTC pellets.
  • Bracket 44, 46 Two brackets 44, 46, preferably moulded in a rigid synthetic material, are attached to the opposite ends of the stack comprising the six radiators, as well as the PTC pellets and the steel slats, to maintain the unit assembled.
  • bracket 44 is provided with longitudinal guides 48 to retain the stack of radiators laterally, and with transoms 50, 52 abutting on respective ledges 54, 56, projecting at the ends of the outermost radiators 10, 20.
  • Bracket 44 also has two pairs of latches 58, 60, which grasp by snap action respective crosspieces 62, 64 at the ends of each of the outermost radiators 10, 20.
  • Bracket 46 is similar to bracket 44 in having lateral guides 66 to retain the stack of radiators laterally, projections 68 abutting on respective lugs 32 of the outermost radiators 10, 20 and elastic latches 70 grasping crosspieces 72 on the outermost radiators.
  • bracket 46 is also provided with a mounting flange 74 for mounting the heater within the ventilation system.
  • bracket 46 has slots such as 76 to house the contact terminals 34 for connection to external circuitry not shown.
  • the heater of the invention can be manufactured more economically, since the number of parts is smaller than in prior art heaters and the parts themselves are generally less complex.
  • the individual radiators are preferably manufactured by cutting transversely at intervals suitably profiled extruded aluminum bars, while the elastic compression of the stack is obtained by simple, straight steel slats which only need to be cut to size, without any bending or punching operations.
  • the brackets are easily mouldable, single-piece parts.
  • the stack of radiators and PTC pellets may be formed in a jig by merely placing the several parts one above the the other, and then the heater is completed by approaching the brackets to the ends of the stack and pushing until the latches click into engagement.
  • radiators are preferred because of their high heating efficiency, other designs might be used,the only requirement being that the radiators sandwiching the steel slats have uneven facing surfaces, i.e. surfaces having ridges and recesses interplaying with each other to elastically deform the steel slat.
  • different locking means might be used between the end brackets and the stack, and the snap-action latches might be replaced by other fastening means such as screws.
  • the number of radiators or of PTC pellets in the stack might also be different from what has been described and shown in the preferred embodiment.
