Definitions
- the present invention relates to an infrared heater and a wall construction with a built-in infrared heater.
- a particularly high-quality energy design with low heat requirements is desired and provided.
- a tight building shell is provided, which includes, for example, a particularly efficient ventilation concept.
- the difference to this is the so-called heat recovery.
- the heat requirement in the individual apartments is low and additional heating is minimal.
- the energy generated there can be used directly by electrical consumers in the house.
- the electricity is thus generated on the roof of a house, for example by a 30 kW peak system. With such a system, up to 30% of the consumption for an apartment building can be covered.
- the second aspect namely the low heat requirement due to the high-quality construction, often allows the increasing use of so-called infrared heaters.
- infrared heating is particularly characterized by the fact that it primarily heats the body (directly) when the infrared radiation hits it. In particular, it does not primarily heat the air. This ensures a pleasant, comfortable climate in the living space despite a low room temperature and thus low energy consumption. In addition, little air is moved, much less than is the case with conventional convection heating or underfloor heating, which in turn reduces dust movement and is therefore particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers.
- infrared heating systems have been proposed for this purpose, which have been positioned in special casings and/or hanging systems below the ceiling or on the outside of the room wall.
- This type of installation of additional infrared heaters always means that they are installed in a conspicuous manner, particularly in confined living space conditions such as for lighting systems, pictures, windows, etc.
- the US 5, 049, 725 a radiant heating structure for supplying (infrared) radiant energy to a selected object.
- a pair of radiant tube holders are arranged in the interior of the housing, which is assembled by means of metallic plates.
- the electrical connections in the radiant tube holders are designed so that they can be connected via lines in a duct space.
- the duct space can be supplied with a pressurized gaseous coolant, which can escape through perforations in the duct housing part into the interior and through the reflectors to cool them.
- WO 2014/031003 A1 describes a radiant heater having a heating element comprising a radiant side having a first emission coefficient and at least one second radiant side having a second emission coefficient, wherein the first emission coefficient is greater than the second emission coefficient such that the difference between the first and second emission coefficients produces directed radiant heat/directed thermal radiation.
- the EP 2 716 327 A1 deals with an infrared radiator and a manufacturing process for it.
- the radiator comprises at least one filter glass holder that is glued to at least one filter glass.
- Such a direct connection has the advantage that, depending on how the infrared radiator is installed, no additional housing parts need to be used, which has a positive effect on the weight and price.
- the object of the present invention is to initially partially solve the problems described with reference to the prior art.
- a system of flexibly usable infrared heating devices is to be proposed that can be applied in a living space in accordance with space and/or energy requirements.
- infrared heating devices are desired that are modular in design and can therefore be flexibly integrated into given living space situations, especially in new buildings.
- the production or provision of different modules of an infrared heating device should be made possible.
- An infrared heater contributes to this, comprising a housing with several housing wall elements made of plastic, which can be detachably connected to one another by means of several flexible connecting elements, as well as at least one flat infrared heater, wherein the housing with the housing wall element forms a heat protection for the infrared heater.
- the housing can in particular be a rear element of an infrared heating device that can be closed at the front, for example with a protective element (grille, etc.).
- the housing can preferably be designed in the manner of a tub in which the functional components or parts required for an infrared heating device are housed or attached to them.
- the housing is not designed in one piece, but rather comprises several housing wall elements.
- the housing wall elements are in particular wall sections of the housing that are/are joined together.
- the housing wall elements can be plastic components in particular.
- the housing wall elements can be plastic components that have been manufactured using an injection molding process. It is possible to use an injection molding material with at least 40% glass fiber content.
- a flame-retardant polyphenylene sulfide material is preferably selected.
- a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with 40% and/or 50% glass fiber content is preferably used, which in particular achieves a permanent temperature resistance of 250°C.
- a housing wall element can have a thermal conductivity of less than 0.5, in particular in the range of 0.25 - 0.35, W/Km (at room temperature).
- the housing wall elements could be brought into contact with one another in alignment over their respective edges, so that together they form the desired tub shape.
- the housing is therefore provided in a modular design, so that the housing can be expanded with further housing wall elements or can also be made smaller by removing at least one housing wall element.
- the housing wall elements can preferably be arranged or lined up next to one another in a predetermined direction. It is preferred that the housing is designed with three, four, five, six, seven or eight housing wall elements.
- the housing wall elements are connected in a detachable manner.
- connecting elements are provided which can be removed from the housing wall elements, for example, in particular using mechanical forces, so that the housing wall elements can be removed or attached. This particularly promotes flexibility in the assembly and/or alignment or equipment of the infrared heater.
- a connecting element preferably cooperates with two housing wall elements arranged adjacent to one another.
- a connecting element is engaged with two housing wall elements. It is particularly preferred that several or many connecting elements are provided for connecting two adjacent housing wall elements. It is particularly preferred that the connecting element is not connected in a captive or non-detachable manner to either of the two housing wall elements. In other words, this means in particular that the connecting elements can be removed from both or all of the housing wall elements.
- the connecting elements are flexible in that they can change their (preferred or stable) shape, preferably by simply applying force, i.e. they can be compressed, opened, bent, deformed or the like. This ability to change shape can be achieved in particular by manually operating or processing the connecting element, so that additional tools (besides a mechanical lever) can be largely dispensed with.
- the flexibility or deformability of the connecting element can be present in a partial area of the connecting element, but it is also possible for the connecting element as a whole to be flexible or deformable.
- Such a modular housing with easy-to-use connecting elements that provide sufficient stability creates a basis for an infrared heater that can be flexibly equipped, particularly with regard to the desired heating output and/or the available installation space.
- the assembly of such an infrared heater can be carried out easily, safely and with manual means on site, adapted to the respective environmental conditions. This significantly increases the flexibility of installing an infrared heater in the area of a wall section in a new building or in retrofitting.
- the infrared heater also includes at least one flat infrared heater.
- the infrared heater it is possible for the infrared heater to include other components. It is particularly preferred that the infrared heater a housing with several housing wall elements and an equal number of flat infrared heaters.
- the infrared heater is preferably designed with one, two, three, four, five or six infrared heaters. It is particularly preferred that the flat infrared heaters are arranged in an (axial) row in alignment with one another. In particular, these are so-called high-temperature heaters, which are designed as ceramic infrared surface heaters. The operating temperature is up to at least 850° C, with a surface output of at least 60 kW/m 2 [kilowatts/square meter] being provided. In particular, these are ceramic hollow cast heaters that are filled with a thermal insulation material. This results in a significantly improved emission of radiation to the environment.
- the ceramic hollow cast heaters have the particular advantage that they have a significantly shortened heating time and thus enable energy savings of up to 25% depending on the application.
- the power range of the infrared heater is preferably in the range of at least 200 W [watts]. It is particularly preferred that the flat infrared heater has a surface area of at least 100 x 100 mm [millimeters].
- the main radiation surface which in particular faces away from the housing, can be flat and/or structured. It is preferred that the temperature of the infrared heater reaches a surface temperature of 200° C within 2 min [minutes] at the latest, preferably within 1 min. It is particularly preferred that 50% of the maximum radiation output of the infrared heater is reached within 2 min.
- the output of the infrared heater is preferably in the range of 200 - 400 W, very preferably in the range of approximately 300 W. It is further preferred that the typical operating temperature of the infrared surface heater is in the range of 600 - 800° C.
- the wavelength range of the emitted infrared radiation is preferably or predominantly in the range of 2 - 10 ⁇ m.
- the infrared heater is assigned an integrated thermocouple with which the operation of the infrared heater can be temperature-controlled.
- An infrared heater is particularly capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the spectral range above visible light from 0.7 ⁇ m to about 80 ⁇ m [micrometers].
- the maximum radiation output of the infrared heater is preferably in the range from 3 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m [micrometers], where approximately 40 - 60% radiation output is achieved.
- the power of the infrared heaters is preferably adjusted via a temperature control, for example using a thermocouple.
- a temperature control for example using a thermocouple.
- the infrared heaters it is possible for the infrared heaters to have an integrated thermocouple, which is located between the radiating surface and the heating coil.
- This thermocouple signal can be recorded, for example, via an integrated control and used to operate the infrared heater.
- a temperature controller switches individual or entire groups of infrared heaters on and/or off, for example with the help of one or more thyristor switching units.
- An average power is set on the infrared heater according to the preselectable duty cycle. This method enables very precise observation of the specified temperature of the infrared heaters' operation and thus also the repeatability of the desired heating effect. If several infrared heaters are used, these controllers can also be used to create certain zones with heating surfaces that heat to different degrees.
- a programmable logic controller can be used for this
- the housing (alone) provides heat protection for the infrared heater.
- a separate thermal insulation layer, insulation layer, etc. inside the housing
- the infrared heater can be designed so that an external surface temperature does not exceed 50°C in normal operation, in particular reaches a maximum of 40°C.
- the collar can itself represent a thermal shield of a protective grille towards the wall when installed.
- the infrared heaters are arranged at a distance of at least 20 mm [millimeters] from a protective grille, a reflector, the housing wall elements and/or from each other, but particularly preferably at most 35 mm. This enables a compact design with sufficiently high heat protection.
- the housing can comprise two lateral housing wall elements and at least one central housing wall element, the latter being alignable and/or fixable by means of a plurality of connecting elements between the lateral housing wall elements.
- the housing has two lateral housing wall elements, which represent, for example, the lateral end pieces.
- the lateral housing wall elements can be designed as mirror images, whereby it is particularly possible for the housing wall elements to be designed identically and only mounted in a mirrored manner.
- the lateral housing wall elements can predominantly represent a side wall of the housing.
- At least one central housing wall element can be provided between these lateral housing wall elements, with preferably several central housing wall elements being provided, for example two, three, four or five.
- the central housing wall elements differ from the lateral housing wall elements in particular in that they have a large, essentially flat central surface. In particular, these form collar elements on two opposite sides. Very particularly preferably, these then have a flush edge on the sides without collars, which can each be combined with further housing wall elements (lateral and/or central). It can be provided that the central housing wall elements are designed with openings, while the lateral housing wall elements are designed without openings.
- the openings can in particular be provided to accommodate holders, electrical connections and/or sensor lines or the like.
- the majority of the housing wall elements are preferably each fixed to one another using a plurality of connecting elements.
- the connecting elements are to be arranged or mounted to the housing wall elements in such a way that the edges of the housing wall elements are simultaneously aligned in a targeted manner.
- surface elements of the housing wall elements or their edges are aligned in alignment with one another.
- the housing wall elements are aligned and fixed to one another in such a way that there are no visible gaps between the housing wall elements. This particularly promotes thermal insulation and avoids hotspots in the area outside the housing of an infrared heater.
- the housing wall elements can have receptacles into which the connecting elements can engage.
- the receptacles can be wing-shaped, pocket-shaped, hook-shaped or the like. It is possible for the connecting elements to be able to be inserted into these receptacles, in particular (only) partially.
- the receptacles can be designed in terms of their shape and/or dimensions so that the connecting elements can engage, snap into place and/or be clipped in here.
- the receptacles are preferably designed to be significantly more rigid than the connecting elements in their flexible partial area.
- the receptacles are designed in such a way that when the connecting elements engage, a part of the connecting elements is flexibly deformed and this is relaxed again in the desired position so that a form engagement takes place.
- the receptacles of adjacent housing wall elements can be aligned with one another.
- the connecting elements essentially have form elements or undercuts located in one plane or on one line so that they can simultaneously engage in the aligned receptacles.
- the receptacles it is possible for the receptacles to be designed as one piece or in one piece with the housing wall element, for example also with the same material.
- the mounts are separate components that have been attached to the housing wall elements, for example via a frictional connection and/or a material connection.
- the connecting elements can have end faces on each of which a pair of spring elements is provided.
- a pair of spring elements can be formed from two spring elements that have the same shape but a different (mirror-image) arrangement to one another.
- the end faces can be designed in the manner of a clip. It is possible for an end face to be formed with two spring legs that are essentially axially aligned. The two spring legs can be spaced apart from one another so that they can approach one another and/or move away from one another when mechanical force is applied. It is possible, for example, for a corresponding receptacle to be designed in such a way that the spring elements approach one another when they engage or (axially) insert into the receptacles and move away from one another again when a certain target situation is reached.
- the connecting element is designed to be mirror-symmetrical with respect to a central plane so that both end faces are essentially identical but mirror-symmetrical. It is particularly preferred that the connecting element is designed in one piece, in particular from plastic. It is preferred that the connecting element is formed with a polyamide material, in particular with a (long) glass fiber content of at least 30%, preferably 40% and/or 50%. The melting point of the material of the connecting element is preferably in the range from 260° C to 280° C. A heat-stabilized polyamide 6.6 with high rigidity and strength is preferably used, e.g.
- a tensile modulus of elasticity (1 mm/min, ISO 527-2, dry) in the range from 12,000 to 14,000 MPa and/or a flexural modulus of elasticity (2 mm/min, ISO 527-2, dry) in the range from 11,000 to 12,000 MPa.
- the connecting elements can have a recess that can interact with a receptacle of a housing wall element.
- the recess can be formed in particular on or with the pair of spring elements.
- external areas of the spring elements or Spring legs are designed with a recess which is designed or dimensioned in such a way that it can engage around a receptacle of a housing wall element, in particular can engage around it flush there.
- connection results in particular from the spring elements being pressed together at the ends and being able to be pushed back through the receptacle (axially back), because this moves the receptacle out of the recesses. This creates a particularly stable, detachable and precisely alignable fixing connection.
- the housing wall elements are clamped together by means of several connecting elements.
- the connecting elements are designed or positioned and/or arranged on the housing wall elements in such a way that the housing wall elements are pressed against one another at their lateral edges, in particular to avoid a gap along these edges.
- the connecting elements in particular with their recesses, to form a press fit and/or a positive connection with the housing wall elements, in particular via the receptacles.
- At least one housing wall element comprises a holder for an infrared radiant heater. It is particularly preferred that a central housing wall element, in particular all central housing wall elements, each comprise a holder for an infrared radiant heater. In other words, this means in particular that each central housing wall element comprises a holder for an infrared radiant heater. Consequently, it is preferred that the number of central housing wall elements determines the number of infrared radiant heaters of the desired infrared heating device.
- the holder can comprise an opening in the central housing wall element which is suitable for receiving an infrared radiant heater or its base. It is also possible, that a base of an infrared heater can be applied to such an opening.
- the holder is designed in such a way that the connections, in particular electrical or electronic connections, for an infrared heater can be led through.
- the holder can be designed in such a way that an aligned, detachable, but permanently fixed fixation of an infrared heater (only) to the housing wall element is possible.
- the housing wall element or the holder can be designed in such a way that all functional components of an infrared heater or the components required for its operation can be applied to the housing wall element.
- the housing forms a tray that has a maximum depth of 15 cm [centimeters].
- This tray is formed in particular when the housing forms a substantially flat frontal collar and a rear, substantially flat or flat rear wall, wherein the collar and the rear wall are each positioned in a plane that is a maximum of 15 cm apart. It is preferred that the maximum depth is less than 12 cm or even a maximum of 10 cm.
- a housing is specified here that enables a particularly flat design, so that the components of the infrared heater can be arranged very densely or compactly. This very small maximum depth of the housing also enables the integration of an infrared heater into a relatively narrow-walled wall construction.
- the dimensions of a lateral housing wall element can be approximately 21x183x100 mm (WxHxD).
- the dimensions of a central housing wall element can be approximately 157x183x100 mm (WxHxD).
- WxHxD 157x183x100 mm
- the following dimensions are preferred when assembled: 513x183x100 mm (WxHxD).
- the housing is designed with a circumferential, one-piece collar (made of PPS as explained above), this preferably has a width of at least 10 mm, in particular a width of approximately 12 mm.
- the material thickness of the collar is preferably approximately 3 mm.
- a wall construction which comprises a front wall, a rear wall and a mounting frame.
- the mounting frame is usually used to fix the front wall and rear wall at a predetermined distance from one another.
- an interior space is formed by the front wall, rear wall and mounting frame.
- the front wall and/or the rear wall has a slot in which an infrared heating device of the type disclosed here is positioned such that the housing is arranged in the interior space.
- This wall construction is in particular a stud wall.
- a stud wall is usually used in drywall construction to create an interior wall of a building or a room.
- the frame also called a studwork or substructure, can consist of wooden studs or sheet steel profiles.
- the stud construction is set up as a single stud wall or double stud wall.
- Sheet steel profiles are used as C, U and L profiles for ceilings, walls or corners.
- the frame is set up in such a way that it forms a flat support for the building boards with which it is planked (front wall, rear wall).
- plasterboard, gypsum fiberboard, calcium silicate boards and cement building boards are used for the planking. It is also possible for these to be installed in one or more layers.
- the planking can be attached using drywall screws, nails or staples.
- the cavities or interior spaces that exist between this planking (front wall, rear wall) also serve, for example, to improve sound insulation, and these can be filled with mineral wool.
- the idea here is to make such a wall construction with a slot and to insert a housing or an infrared heater into this slot from the outside.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Infrarotheizgerät sowie eine Wandkonstruktion mit einem eingebauten Infrarotheizgerät.The present invention relates to an infrared heater and a wall construction with a built-in infrared heater.
Gerade bei heutigen Neubauten ist eine energetisch besonders hochwertige Ausführung mit geringem Wärmebedarf gewünscht und vorgesehen. Hierfür wird eine dichte Gebäudehülle bereitgestellt, die z. B. ein besonders effizientes Lüftungskonzept beinhaltet. Der Unterschied hierzu ist insbesondere die sogenannte Wärmerückgewinnung. Durch die hervorragend gedämmte Gebäudehülle ist der Wärmebedarf in den einzelnen Wohnungen gering und das Zuheizen minimal. Genau diese Voraussetzungen unterstützt das ökologisch und energietechnisch effiziente Ausstatten eines Neubaus, zum Beispiel auch mit Einbindung einer Photovoltaikanlage. Die dort erzeugte Energie kann direkt bei elektrischen Verbrauchern im Haus genutzt werden. Der Strom wird somit auf dem Dach eines Hauses, zum Beispiel einer 30-kW-Peak-Anlage erzeugt. Mit einer solchen Anlage lässt sich eine Deckung des Verbrauchs für ein Mehrfamilienhaus von bis zu 30 % erreichen. Der zweite Aspekt, nämlich der geringe Wärmebedarf durch die hochwertige Bauweise, erlaubt vielfach zunehmend den Einsatz von sogenannten Infrarot-Heizungen.Especially in today's new buildings, a particularly high-quality energy design with low heat requirements is desired and provided. For this purpose, a tight building shell is provided, which includes, for example, a particularly efficient ventilation concept. The difference to this is the so-called heat recovery. Thanks to the excellently insulated building shell, the heat requirement in the individual apartments is low and additional heating is minimal. It is precisely these requirements that are supported by the ecologically and energy-efficient equipment of a new building, for example by integrating a photovoltaic system. The energy generated there can be used directly by electrical consumers in the house. The electricity is thus generated on the roof of a house, for example by a 30 kW peak system. With such a system, up to 30% of the consumption for an apartment building can be covered. The second aspect, namely the low heat requirement due to the high-quality construction, often allows the increasing use of so-called infrared heaters.
Das Prinzip der Infrarot-Heizung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass diese in erster Linie die Körper (direkt) erwärmt, indem die Infrarot-Strahlung auf sie auftrifft. Insbesondere wird nicht vorrangig die Luft erwärmt. Das sorgt trotz einer niedrigen Raumtemperatur und damit geringem Energieverbrauch für ein angenehmes Wohlfühlklima innerhalb der Wohnräume. Außerdem wird wenig Luft bewegt, viel weniger, als dies bei einer herkömmlichen Konvektionsheizung oder Fußbodenheizung der Fall ist, was wiederum Staubbewegungen verringert und somit für Allergiker besonders vorteilhaft ist.The principle of infrared heating is particularly characterized by the fact that it primarily heats the body (directly) when the infrared radiation hits it. In particular, it does not primarily heat the air. This ensures a pleasant, comfortable climate in the living space despite a low room temperature and thus low energy consumption. In addition, little air is moved, much less than is the case with conventional convection heating or underfloor heating, which in turn reduces dust movement and is therefore particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers.
Zu diesem Zweck wurden bislang Infrarot-Heizsysteme vorgeschlagen, die zum Beispiel in speziellen Abkofferungen und/oder Hängesystemen unterhalb der Decke bzw. außen an der Raumwand positioniert wurden. Eine solche Montage von zusätzlichen Infrarot-Heizungen bedeutet insofern immer auch eine augenfällige Montage, insbesondere unter beschränkten Wohnraumbedingungen wie für Beleuchtungssysteme, Bilder, Fenster etc.To date, infrared heating systems have been proposed for this purpose, which have been positioned in special casings and/or hanging systems below the ceiling or on the outside of the room wall. This type of installation of additional infrared heaters always means that they are installed in a conspicuous manner, particularly in confined living space conditions such as for lighting systems, pictures, windows, etc.
Beispielsweise offenbart die
Die
Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die mit Bezug auf den Stand der Technik geschilderten Probleme zunächst teilweise zu lösen. Insbesondere soll ein System flexibel einsetzbarer Infrarotheizgeräte vorgeschlagen werden, die platz- und/oder energiebedarfsgerecht in einem Wohnraum appliziert werden können. Weiter sind Infrarotheizgeräte gewünscht, die modular aufgebaut und insofern flexibel in vorgegebene Wohnraumsituationen, insbesondere auch beim Neubau, integrierbar sind. Weiter soll die Herstellung bzw. Bereitstellung von unterschiedlichen Modulen eines Infrarotheizgerätes ermöglicht werden.Based on this, the object of the present invention is to initially partially solve the problems described with reference to the prior art. In particular, a system of flexibly usable infrared heating devices is to be proposed that can be applied in a living space in accordance with space and/or energy requirements. Furthermore, infrared heating devices are desired that are modular in design and can therefore be flexibly integrated into given living space situations, especially in new buildings. Furthermore, the production or provision of different modules of an infrared heating device should be made possible.
Diese Aufgaben werden gelöst mit einem Gehäuse für ein Infrarotheizgerät und eine Wandkonstruktion mit Infrarotheizgerät gemäß den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen. In den abhängigen Patentansprüchen sind besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung angegeben. Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Merkmale aus den Patentansprüchen in beliebiger, technologisch sinnvoller Weise miteinander kombinierbar sind und mit weiteren Sachverhalten aus der Beschreibung kombiniert werden können. Die Beschreibung, insbesondere auch im Zusammenhang auch mit den Figuren, erläutert die Erfindung und gibt weitere Ausführungsbeispiele an.These objects are achieved with a housing for an infrared heater and a wall construction with an infrared heater according to the independent patent claims. Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent patent claims. It should be noted that the features from the patent claims can be combined with one another in any technologically reasonable manner and can be combined with other facts from the description. The description, in particular in connection with the figures, explains the invention and specifies further embodiments.
Hierzu trägt ein Infrarotheizgerät bei, umfassend ein Gehäuse mit mehreren Gehäusewandelementen aus Kunststoff, die miteinander mittels mehrere flexibler Verbindungselemente lösbar verbindbar sind, sowie mindestens einen flächigen Infrarotheizstrahler, wobei das Gehäuse mit den Gehäusewandelement einen Hitzeschutz des Infrarotheizgeräts bildet.An infrared heater contributes to this, comprising a housing with several housing wall elements made of plastic, which can be detachably connected to one another by means of several flexible connecting elements, as well as at least one flat infrared heater, wherein the housing with the housing wall element forms a heat protection for the infrared heater.
Das Gehäuse kann insbesondere ein rückwärtiges Element eines Infrarotheizgerätes sein, das frontal, zum Beispiel mit einem Schutzelement (Gitter, etc.) verschließbar ist. Insofern kann das Gehäuse bevorzugt nach Art einer Wanne ausgeführt sein, in der die funktionalen Komponenten bzw. Bauteile untergebracht sind bzw. daran befestigt sind, die für ein Infrarotheizgerät erforderlich sind. Das Gehäuse ist hierbei nicht einteilig ausgeführt, sondern umfasst mehrere Gehäusewandelemente. Die Gehäusewandelemente sind insbesondere Wandabschnitte des Gehäuses, die miteinander gefügt werden/sind.The housing can in particular be a rear element of an infrared heating device that can be closed at the front, for example with a protective element (grille, etc.). In this respect, the housing can preferably be designed in the manner of a tub in which the functional components or parts required for an infrared heating device are housed or attached to them. The housing is not designed in one piece, but rather comprises several housing wall elements. The housing wall elements are in particular wall sections of the housing that are/are joined together.
Bei den Gehäusewandelementen kann es sich insbesondere um KunststoffBauteile handeln. Die Gehäusewandelemente können Kunststoffbauteile sein, die mit einem Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt worden sind. Es ist möglich, ein Spritzgussmaterial mit mind. 40 % Glasfaseranteil einzusetzen. Bevorzugt ist ein schwer entflammbarer Polyphenylensulfid-Stoff zu wählen. Bevorzugt kommt ein Polyphenylensulfid (PPS) mit 40% und/oder 50% Glasfaseranteil zum Einsatz, womit insbesondere eine Dauertemperaturbeständigkeit von 250°C erreicht ist. Ein Gehäusewandelement kann eine Wärmeleitfähigkeit kleiner 0,5, insbesondere im Bereich von 0,25 - 0,35, W/Km aufweisen (bei Raumtemperatur).The housing wall elements can be plastic components in particular. The housing wall elements can be plastic components that have been manufactured using an injection molding process. It is possible to use an injection molding material with at least 40% glass fiber content. A flame-retardant polyphenylene sulfide material is preferably selected. A polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with 40% and/or 50% glass fiber content is preferably used, which in particular achieves a permanent temperature resistance of 250°C. A housing wall element can have a thermal conductivity of less than 0.5, in particular in the range of 0.25 - 0.35, W/Km (at room temperature).
Die Gehäusewandelemente könnten miteinander fluchtend über ihre jeweiligen Kanten miteinander in Anlage gebracht sein, sodass sie zusammen die gewünschte Wannenform ausbilden. Das Gehäuse ist demnach in einer Modulbauweise bereitgestellt, sodass das Gehäuse mit weiteren Gehäusewandelementen erweiterbar ist oder durch Entfernen von mindestens einem Gehäusewandelement auch verkleinerbar ist. Die Gehäusewandelemente sind bevorzugt in einer vorgegebenen Richtung aneinander anordenbar bzw. aufreihbar. Bevorzugt ist, dass das Gehäuse mit drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben oder acht Gehäusewandelementen ausgebildet ist.The housing wall elements could be brought into contact with one another in alignment over their respective edges, so that together they form the desired tub shape. The housing is therefore provided in a modular design, so that the housing can be expanded with further housing wall elements or can also be made smaller by removing at least one housing wall element. The housing wall elements can preferably be arranged or lined up next to one another in a predetermined direction. It is preferred that the housing is designed with three, four, five, six, seven or eight housing wall elements.
Die Verbindung der Gehäusewandelemente erfolgt lösbar. Dies bedeutet mit anderen Worten insbesondere, dass keine stoffschlüssige Verbindung realisiert ist, bei der die Gehäusewandelemente nur durch Zerstörung des Wandelementes und/oder des Verbindungselementes wieder voneinander trennbar wären. Im Gegenteil dazu wird hier vorgeschlagen, dass Verbindungselemente vorgesehen sind, die, insbesondere unter Einsatz mechanischer Kräfte, z. B. wieder von den Gehäusewandelementen entfernt werden können, sodass Gehäusewandelemente entfernbar bzw. befestigbar sind. Dies fördert insbesondere die Flexibilität bei der Montage und/oder Ausrichtung bzw. Ausstattung des Infrarotheizgerätes.The housing wall elements are connected in a detachable manner. In other words, this means in particular that no material connection is implemented in which the housing wall elements can only be separated from one another by destroying the wall element and/or the connecting element. On the contrary, it is proposed here that connecting elements are provided which can be removed from the housing wall elements, for example, in particular using mechanical forces, so that the housing wall elements can be removed or attached. This particularly promotes flexibility in the assembly and/or alignment or equipment of the infrared heater.
Zur Einrichtung dieser lösbaren Verbindung werden eine Mehrzahl bzw. eine Vielzahl flexibler Verbindungselemente vorgeschlagen. Ein Verbindungselement wirkt dabei bevorzugt mit zwei benachbart zueinander anzuordnenden Gehäusewandelementen zusammen. Insbesondere ist ein Verbindungselement mit zwei Gehäusewandelementen in Eingriff. Ganz besonders bevorzugt sind mehrere bzw. viele Verbindungselemente zur Verbindung zweier benachbarter Gehäusewandelemente vorgesehen. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Verbindungselement mit keiner der beiden Gehäusewandelemente unverlierbar bzw. unlösbar verbunden ist. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies insbesondere, dass die Verbindungselemente von beiden bzw. allen Gehäusewandelementen entfernbar sind.To establish this detachable connection, a plurality or a multitude of flexible connecting elements are proposed. A connecting element preferably cooperates with two housing wall elements arranged adjacent to one another. In particular, a connecting element is engaged with two housing wall elements. It is particularly preferred that several or many connecting elements are provided for connecting two adjacent housing wall elements. It is particularly preferred that the connecting element is not connected in a captive or non-detachable manner to either of the two housing wall elements. In other words, this means in particular that the connecting elements can be removed from both or all of the housing wall elements.
Flexibel sind die Verbindungselemente insofern, dass sie bevorzugt durch eine einfache Krafteinwirkung ihre (bevorzugte bzw. stabile) Form verändern können, also beispielsweise zusammendrückbar, aufklappbar, verbiegbar, verformbar oder dergleichen sind. Diese Formveränderbarkeit kann insbesondere durch eine händische Betätigung bzw. Bearbeitung des Verbindungselementes gegeben sein, sodass auf zusätzliche Werkzeuge (neben einem mechanischen Hebel) weitestgehend verzichtet werden kann. Die Flexibilität bzw. Verformbarkeit des Verbindungselements kann in einem Teilbereich des Verbindungselements vorliegen, es ist aber auch möglich, dass das Verbindungselement insgesamt flexibel bzw. verformbar ist.The connecting elements are flexible in that they can change their (preferred or stable) shape, preferably by simply applying force, i.e. they can be compressed, opened, bent, deformed or the like. This ability to change shape can be achieved in particular by manually operating or processing the connecting element, so that additional tools (besides a mechanical lever) can be largely dispensed with. The flexibility or deformability of the connecting element can be present in a partial area of the connecting element, but it is also possible for the connecting element as a whole to be flexible or deformable.
Ein solches modular aufgebautes Gehäuse mit einfach bedienbaren Verbindungselementen, die eine ausreichende Stabilität bereitstellen, schafft eine Basis für eine Infrarotheizgerät, das flexibel ausrüstbar ist, insbesondere mit Blick auf die gewünschte Heizleistung und/oder den verfügbaren Bauraum. Die Montage eines solchen Infrarotheizgerätes kann einfach, sicher und mit manuellen Mitteln vor Ort an die jeweiligen Umgebungsbedingungen angepasst durchgeführt werden. Dies erhöht deutlich die Flexibilität der Installation eines Infrarotheizgerätes im Bereich eines Wandabschnitts bei einem Neubau sowie in der Nachrüstung.Such a modular housing with easy-to-use connecting elements that provide sufficient stability creates a basis for an infrared heater that can be flexibly equipped, particularly with regard to the desired heating output and/or the available installation space. The assembly of such an infrared heater can be carried out easily, safely and with manual means on site, adapted to the respective environmental conditions. This significantly increases the flexibility of installing an infrared heater in the area of a wall section in a new building or in retrofitting.
Das Infrarotheizgerät umfasst zudem mindestens einen flächigen Infrarotheizstrahler. Selbstverständlich ist es möglich, dass das Infrarotheizgerät weitere Komponenten umfasst. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Infrarotheizgerät ein Gehäuse mit mehreren Gehäusewandelementen und einer gleichlautenden Anzahl von flächigen Infrarotheizstrahlern umfasst.The infrared heater also includes at least one flat infrared heater. Of course, it is possible for the infrared heater to include other components. It is particularly preferred that the infrared heater a housing with several housing wall elements and an equal number of flat infrared heaters.
Bevorzugt ist das Infrarotheizgerät mit einem, zwei, drei, vier, fünf oder sechs Infrarotheizstrahlern ausgeführt. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass die flächigen Infrarotheizstrahler in einer (axialen) Reihe fluchtend zueinander angeordnet sind. Insbesondere handelt es sich hierbei um sogenannte Hochtemperatur-Strahler, die als keramische Infrarot-Flächenstrahler ausgeführt sind. Die Betriebstemperatur beträgt hierbei bis zu mindesten 850° C, wobei eine Flächenleistung von mindestens 60 kW/m2 [Kilowatt/Quadratmeter] bereitgestellt ist. Insbesondere handelt es sich hierbei um Keramik-Hohlguss-Strahler, die mit einem Wärmeisolationsmaterial gefüllt sind. Dies bewirkt eine deutlich verbesserte Emission der Strahlung an das Umfeld. Die Keramik-Hohlguss-Strahler haben insbesondere den Vorteil, dass sie eine erheblich verkürzte Aufheizzeit haben und somit in Abhängigkeit von der Anwendung eine Energieersparnis von bis zu 25 % ermöglichen. Der Leistungsbereich des Infrarotheizstrahlers liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von mindestens 200 W [Watt]. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass der flächige Infrarotheizstrahler eine Fläche von mindestens 100 x 100 mm [Millimeter] aufweist. Die Hauptabstrahlfläche, die insbesondere dem Gehäuse abgewandt ist, kann eben und/oder strukturiert sein. Bevorzugt ist, dass die Temperatur des Infrarotheizstrahlers spätestens binnen 2 min [Minuten] eine Oberflächentemperatur von 200° C erreicht, bevorzugt binnen 1 min. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass 50 % der maximalen Strahlungsleistung des Infrarotheizstrahlers binnen 2 min erreicht sind. Bevorzugt liegt die Leistung des Infrarotheizstrahlers im Bereich von 200 - 400 W, ganz bevorzugt im Bereich von ca. 300 W. Es ist weiter bevorzugt, dass die typische Betriebstemperatur des Infrarot-Flächenheizers im Bereich von 600 - 800° C liegt. Der Wellenlängenbereich der emittierten Infrarot-Strahlung liegt bevorzugt bzw. überwiegend im Bereich von 2 - 10 µm.The infrared heater is preferably designed with one, two, three, four, five or six infrared heaters. It is particularly preferred that the flat infrared heaters are arranged in an (axial) row in alignment with one another. In particular, these are so-called high-temperature heaters, which are designed as ceramic infrared surface heaters. The operating temperature is up to at least 850° C, with a surface output of at least 60 kW/m 2 [kilowatts/square meter] being provided. In particular, these are ceramic hollow cast heaters that are filled with a thermal insulation material. This results in a significantly improved emission of radiation to the environment. The ceramic hollow cast heaters have the particular advantage that they have a significantly shortened heating time and thus enable energy savings of up to 25% depending on the application. The power range of the infrared heater is preferably in the range of at least 200 W [watts]. It is particularly preferred that the flat infrared heater has a surface area of at least 100 x 100 mm [millimeters]. The main radiation surface, which in particular faces away from the housing, can be flat and/or structured. It is preferred that the temperature of the infrared heater reaches a surface temperature of 200° C within 2 min [minutes] at the latest, preferably within 1 min. It is particularly preferred that 50% of the maximum radiation output of the infrared heater is reached within 2 min. The output of the infrared heater is preferably in the range of 200 - 400 W, very preferably in the range of approximately 300 W. It is further preferred that the typical operating temperature of the infrared surface heater is in the range of 600 - 800° C. The wavelength range of the emitted infrared radiation is preferably or predominantly in the range of 2 - 10 µm.
Es ist möglich, dass dem Infrarotheizstrahler ein integriertes Thermoelement zugeordnet ist, mit dem der Betrieb des Infrarotheizstrahlers temperaturgesteuert betrieben werden kann.It is possible that the infrared heater is assigned an integrated thermocouple with which the operation of the infrared heater can be temperature-controlled.
Ein Infrarotheizstrahler ist insbesondere in der Lage, elektromagnetische Wellen im Spektralbereich oberhalb des sichtbaren Lichts von 0,7 µm bis etwa 80 µm [Mikrometer] zu emittieren. Die maximale Strahlungsleistung des Infrarotheizstrahlers liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von 3 µm bis 5 µm [Mikrometer], wobei dort ca. 40 - 60 % Strahlungsleistung erreicht werden.An infrared heater is particularly capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the spectral range above visible light from 0.7 µm to about 80 µm [micrometers]. The maximum radiation output of the infrared heater is preferably in the range from 3 µm to 5 µm [micrometers], where approximately 40 - 60% radiation output is achieved.
Die Leistungsanpassung der Infrarotheizstrahler erfolgt bevorzugt über eine Temperaturregelung, bei der beispielsweise ein Thermoelement verwendet wird. Insbesondere ist es möglich, dass die Infrarotheizstrahler ein integriertes Thermoelement aufweisen, welches sich zwischen der Abstrahlfläche und der Heizwendel befindet. Dieses Thermoelement-Signal kann beispielsweise über eine integrierte Steuerung erfasst und für den Betrieb des Infrarotheizstrahlers genutzt werden. Ein Temperaturregler schaltet beispielsweise mit Hilfe einer oder mehrerer Thyristor-Schalteinheiten einzelne oder ganze Gruppen von Infrarotheizstrahlern ein und/oder aus. Entsprechend der vorwählbaren Einschaltdauer stellt sich eine mittlere Leistung an dem Infrarotheizstrahler ein. Dieses Verfahren ermöglicht eine sehr genaue Beachtung der vorgegebenen Temperatur des Betriebes der Infrarotheizstrahler und damit auch die Wiederholbarkeit der gewünschten Heizwirkung. Werden mehrere Infrarotheizstrahler eingesetzt, können diese Regler aber auch dazu benutzt werden, bestimmte Zonen mit unterschiedlich stark heizenden Heizflächen zu realisieren. Hierfür kann eine speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung eingesetzt werden, die mit den Thermoelementen potenzialfrei verbunden ist.The power of the infrared heaters is preferably adjusted via a temperature control, for example using a thermocouple. In particular, it is possible for the infrared heaters to have an integrated thermocouple, which is located between the radiating surface and the heating coil. This thermocouple signal can be recorded, for example, via an integrated control and used to operate the infrared heater. A temperature controller switches individual or entire groups of infrared heaters on and/or off, for example with the help of one or more thyristor switching units. An average power is set on the infrared heater according to the preselectable duty cycle. This method enables very precise observation of the specified temperature of the infrared heaters' operation and thus also the repeatability of the desired heating effect. If several infrared heaters are used, these controllers can also be used to create certain zones with heating surfaces that heat to different degrees. A programmable logic controller can be used for this, which is connected to the thermocouples in a potential-free manner.
Das Gehäuse (allein) bildet einen Hitzeschutz für das Infrarotheizgerät. Insbesondere kann auf eine separate thermische Isolationsschicht, Isolationslage, etc. (im Inneren des Gehäuses) verzichtet werden. Das Infrarotheizgerät kann so ausgeführt sein, dass eine äußere Oberflächentemperatur im Normalbetrieb 50°C nicht überschreitet, insbesondere maximal 40°C erreicht. Der Kragen kann hierbei selbst eine thermische Abschirmung eines Schutzgitters hin zur Wand im montierten Zustand darstellen.The housing (alone) provides heat protection for the infrared heater. In particular, a separate thermal insulation layer, insulation layer, etc. (inside the housing) can be dispensed with. The infrared heater can be designed so that an external surface temperature does not exceed 50°C in normal operation, in particular reaches a maximum of 40°C. The collar can itself represent a thermal shield of a protective grille towards the wall when installed.
Bevorzugt sind die Infrarotheizstrahler mit einem Abstand hin zu einem Schutzgitter, einem Reflektor, den Gehäusewandelementen und/oder zueinander von mindestens 20 mm [Millimeter], besonders bevorzugt aber maximal 35 mm, angeordnet. Damit ist eine kompakte Bauform bei ausreichend hohem Hitzeschutz ermöglicht.Preferably, the infrared heaters are arranged at a distance of at least 20 mm [millimeters] from a protective grille, a reflector, the housing wall elements and/or from each other, but particularly preferably at most 35 mm. This enables a compact design with sufficiently high heat protection.
Das Gehäuse kann zwei laterale Gehäusewandelemente und mindestens ein zentrales Gehäusewandelement umfassen, wobei letzteres mittels mehrerer Verbindungselemente zwischen den lateralen Gehäusewandelementen ausrichtbar und/oder fixierbar ist.The housing can comprise two lateral housing wall elements and at least one central housing wall element, the latter being alignable and/or fixable by means of a plurality of connecting elements between the lateral housing wall elements.
Demnach ist ganz besonders bevorzugt, dass das Gehäuse zwei laterale Gehäusewandelemente aufweist, die beispielsweise die seitlichen Endstücke darstellen. Die lateralen Gehäusewandelemente können spiegelbildlich ausgeführt sein, wobei insbesondere möglich ist, dass die Gehäusewandelemente identisch ausgeführt sind und nur gespiegelt montiert werden. Die lateralen Gehäusewandelemente können überwiegend eine Seitenwand des Gehäuses darstellen.Accordingly, it is particularly preferred that the housing has two lateral housing wall elements, which represent, for example, the lateral end pieces. The lateral housing wall elements can be designed as mirror images, whereby it is particularly possible for the housing wall elements to be designed identically and only mounted in a mirrored manner. The lateral housing wall elements can predominantly represent a side wall of the housing.
Zwischen diesen lateralen Gehäusewandelementen kann mindestens ein zentrales Gehäusewandelement vorgesehen sein, wobei bevorzugt mehrere zentrale Gehäusewandelemente vorgesehen sind, beispielsweise zwei, drei, vier oder fünf. Die zentralen Gehäusewandelemente unterscheiden sich von den lateralen Gehäusewandelementen insbesondere dadurch, dass diese eine großflächige, im Wesentlichen ebene Zentralfläche aufweisen. Insbesondere bilden diese an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten Kragenelemente aus. Ganz besonders bevorzugt weisen diese dann an den ohne Kragen ausgeführten Seiten eine bündige Kante auf, die jeweils mit weiteren Gehäusewandelementen (lateral und/oder zentral) kombinierbar ist. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die zentralen Gehäusewandelemente mit Durchbrechungen ausgeführt sind, während die lateralen Gehäusewandelemente ohne Durchbrechungen ausgeführt sind. Die Durchbrechungen können insbesondere dafür vorgesehen sein, Halterungen aufzunehmen, elektrische Anschlüsse und/oder Sensorleitungen oder dergleichen aufzunehmen.At least one central housing wall element can be provided between these lateral housing wall elements, with preferably several central housing wall elements being provided, for example two, three, four or five. The central housing wall elements differ from the lateral housing wall elements in particular in that they have a large, essentially flat central surface. In particular, these form collar elements on two opposite sides. Very particularly preferably, these then have a flush edge on the sides without collars, which can each be combined with further housing wall elements (lateral and/or central). It can be provided that the central housing wall elements are designed with openings, while the lateral housing wall elements are designed without openings. The openings can in particular be provided to accommodate holders, electrical connections and/or sensor lines or the like.
Die Mehrzahl der Gehäusewandelemente wird bevorzugt jeweils mit mehreren Verbindungselementen miteinander fixiert. Hierbei sind die Verbindungselemente insbesondere so zu den Gehäusewandelementen angeordnet bzw. zu montieren, dass gleichzeitig eine gezielte Ausrichtung der Kanten der Gehäusewandelemente zueinander erfolgt. Insbesondere ist gewünscht, dass Flächenelemente der Gehäusewandelemente bzw. deren Kanten zueinander fluchtend ausgerichtet sind. Derart ist insbesondere zu vermeiden, dass die Gehäusewandelemente versetzt bzw. nicht bündig zueinander angeordnet sind, wodurch insbesondere Spalte im Übergangsbereich der Gehäusewandelemente sicher vermieden werden. Insbesondere ist gewünscht, dass die Gehäusewandelemente so zueinander ausgerichtet und fixiert sind, dass keine einsehbaren Spalte zwischen den Gehäusewandelementen vorliegen. Dies fördert insbesondere die Wärmeisolation bzw. vermeidet Hotspots im Bereich außerhalb des Gehäuses eines Infrarotheizgerätes.The majority of the housing wall elements are preferably each fixed to one another using a plurality of connecting elements. The connecting elements are to be arranged or mounted to the housing wall elements in such a way that the edges of the housing wall elements are simultaneously aligned in a targeted manner. In particular, it is desirable that surface elements of the housing wall elements or their edges are aligned in alignment with one another. In this way, it is particularly important to avoid the housing wall elements being offset or not flush with one another, which in particular reliably prevents gaps in the transition area of the housing wall elements. In particular, it is desirable that the housing wall elements are aligned and fixed to one another in such a way that there are no visible gaps between the housing wall elements. This particularly promotes thermal insulation and avoids hotspots in the area outside the housing of an infrared heater.
Die Gehäusewandelemente können Aufnahmen aufweisen, in die die Verbindungselemente eingreifen können. Die Aufnahmen können flügelförmig, taschenförmig, hakenförmig oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein. Es ist möglich, dass die Verbindungselemente in diese Aufnahmen eingeführt werden können, insbesondere (nur) teilweise. Die Aufnahmen können hinsichtlich ihrer Form und/oder Dimension so gestaltet sein, dass die Verbindungselemente hier eingreifen, einrasten, und/oder eingeklipst werden können. Die Aufnahmen sind bevorzugt deutlich formsteifer ausgeführt als die Verbindungselemente in ihrem flexiblen Teilbereich. Insbesondere sind die Aufnahmen so gestaltet, dass beim Eingreifen der Verbindungselemente eine flexible Verformung eines Teils der Verbindungselemente erfolgt und dieser in der gewünschten Position wieder entspannt, sodass ein Formeingriff erfolgt. Bevorzugt ist auch, dass die Aufnahmen benachbarter Gehäusewandelemente zueinander fluchtend ausrichtbar sind. Die Verbindungselemente weisen hierfür im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene bzw. auf einer Linie befindliche Formelemente oder Hinterschnitte auf, sodass diese gleichzeitig in die fluchtenden Aufnahmen eingreifen können. Es ist möglich, dass die Aufnahmen einteilig bzw. einstückig mit dem Gehäusewandelement ausgeführt sind, beispielsweise auch mit demselben Material. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die Aufnahmen separate Bauteile sind, die an die Gehäusewandelemente befestigt wurden, beispielsweise über einen Kraftschluss und/oder einen Stoffschluss.The housing wall elements can have receptacles into which the connecting elements can engage. The receptacles can be wing-shaped, pocket-shaped, hook-shaped or the like. It is possible for the connecting elements to be able to be inserted into these receptacles, in particular (only) partially. The receptacles can be designed in terms of their shape and/or dimensions so that the connecting elements can engage, snap into place and/or be clipped in here. The receptacles are preferably designed to be significantly more rigid than the connecting elements in their flexible partial area. In particular, the receptacles are designed in such a way that when the connecting elements engage, a part of the connecting elements is flexibly deformed and this is relaxed again in the desired position so that a form engagement takes place. It is also preferred that the receptacles of adjacent housing wall elements can be aligned with one another. For this purpose, the connecting elements essentially have form elements or undercuts located in one plane or on one line so that they can simultaneously engage in the aligned receptacles. It is possible for the receptacles to be designed as one piece or in one piece with the housing wall element, for example also with the same material. However, it is also possible that the mounts are separate components that have been attached to the housing wall elements, for example via a frictional connection and/or a material connection.
Die Verbindungselemente können Stirnseiten aufweisen, an denen jeweils ein Paar Federelemente vorgesehen ist. Ein Paar Federelemente kann aus zwei Federelementen gebildet sein, die dieselbe Form aber eine andere (spiegelbildliche) Anordnung zueinander haben. Die Stirnseiten können nach Art eines Clips ausgeführt sein. Es ist möglich, dass eine Stirnseite mit zwei Federbeinen gebildet ist, die im Wesentlichen in axialer Richtung ausgeführt sind. Die beiden Federbeine können voneinander beabstandet ausgeführt sein, sodass diese bei mechanischer Krafteinwirkung sich einander nähern und/oder sich voneinander entfernen können. Es ist beispielsweise möglich, dass eine korrespondierende Aufnahme so gestaltet ist, dass sich die Federelemente beim Eingreifen bzw. (axialen) Einführen in die Aufnahmen einander nähern und bei Erreichen einer bestimmten Zielsituation wieder voneinander entfernen. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Verbindungselement spiegelsymmetrisch bezüglich einer zentralen Ebene ausgeführt ist, sodass beide Stirnseiten im Wesentlichen identisch, aber spiegelsymmetrisch ausgeführt sind. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Verbindungselement einteilig, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, ausgeführt ist. Bevorzugt ist, dass das Verbindungselement mit einem Polyamid-Material gebildet, insbesondere mit einem (Lang-)Glasfaseranteil von mindestens 30 %, bevorzugt 40% und/oder 50%. Der Schmelzpunkt des Materials des Verbindungselements liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von 260° C bis 280° C. Bevorzugt kommt ein wärme-stabilisiertes Polyamid 6.6 mit hoher Steifigkeit und Festigkeit zum Einsatz, z. B. mit einem Zug-E-Modul (1mm/min, ISO 527-2, trocken) im Bereich von 12.000 bis 14.000 MPa und/oder einem Biege-E-Modul (2mm/min, ISO 527-2, trocken) im Bereich von 11.000 bis 12.000 MPa.The connecting elements can have end faces on each of which a pair of spring elements is provided. A pair of spring elements can be formed from two spring elements that have the same shape but a different (mirror-image) arrangement to one another. The end faces can be designed in the manner of a clip. It is possible for an end face to be formed with two spring legs that are essentially axially aligned. The two spring legs can be spaced apart from one another so that they can approach one another and/or move away from one another when mechanical force is applied. It is possible, for example, for a corresponding receptacle to be designed in such a way that the spring elements approach one another when they engage or (axially) insert into the receptacles and move away from one another again when a certain target situation is reached. It is particularly preferred that the connecting element is designed to be mirror-symmetrical with respect to a central plane so that both end faces are essentially identical but mirror-symmetrical. It is particularly preferred that the connecting element is designed in one piece, in particular from plastic. It is preferred that the connecting element is formed with a polyamide material, in particular with a (long) glass fiber content of at least 30%, preferably 40% and/or 50%. The melting point of the material of the connecting element is preferably in the range from 260° C to 280° C. A heat-stabilized polyamide 6.6 with high rigidity and strength is preferably used, e.g. with a tensile modulus of elasticity (1 mm/min, ISO 527-2, dry) in the range from 12,000 to 14,000 MPa and/or a flexural modulus of elasticity (2 mm/min, ISO 527-2, dry) in the range from 11,000 to 12,000 MPa.
Es ist möglich, dass die Verbindungselemente eine Aussparung aufweisen, die mit einer Aufnahme eines Gehäusewandelements zusammenwirken kann. Die Aussparung kann insbesondere an bzw. mit dem Paar Federelementen ausgebildet sein. Es ist möglich, dass außenliegende Bereiche der Federelemente bzw. Federbeine mit einer Aussparung ausgeführt sind, die so ausgeführt bzw. dimensioniert ist, dass diese eine Aufnahme eines Gehäusewandelements umgreifen kann, insbesondere dort bündig anliegend umgreifen kann. So ist insbesondere ermöglicht, dass das Verbindungselement, insbesondere das Paar Federelemente, in die Aufnahme eingeschoben wird, wobei die Aussparung bei Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Zielposition (bündig) die Aufnahmen aufnimmt. Damit ist insbesondere ein Formschluss gebildet, der ein axiales Verschieben der Verbindungselemente verhindert. Die Lösbarkeit der Verbindung ergibt sich dann insbesondere dadurch, dass die Federelemente endseitig zusammengedrückt werden und wieder durch die Aufnahme (axial zurück) hindurchschiebbar sind, weil dadurch die Aufnahme aus den Aussparungen herausgerückt wird. Damit ist ein besonders stabiler, lösbarer und exakt ausrichtbarer Fixierverbund geschaffen.It is possible for the connecting elements to have a recess that can interact with a receptacle of a housing wall element. The recess can be formed in particular on or with the pair of spring elements. It is possible for external areas of the spring elements or Spring legs are designed with a recess which is designed or dimensioned in such a way that it can engage around a receptacle of a housing wall element, in particular can engage around it flush there. This makes it possible in particular for the connecting element, in particular the pair of spring elements, to be pushed into the receptacle, the recess accommodating the receptacles when a predetermined target position is reached (flush). This in particular creates a positive connection which prevents axial displacement of the connecting elements. The detachability of the connection then results in particular from the spring elements being pressed together at the ends and being able to be pushed back through the receptacle (axially back), because this moves the receptacle out of the recesses. This creates a particularly stable, detachable and precisely alignable fixing connection.
Es ist bevorzugt, dass die Gehäusewandelemente mittels mehrerer Verbindungselemente miteinander verspannt sind. Dies bedeutet insbesondere, dass die Verbindungselemente so gestaltet bzw. positioniert und/oder an den Gehäusewandelementen angeordnet sind, dass die Gehäusewandelemente an ihren lateralen Kanten aneinandergedrückt werden, insbesondere zur Vermeidung eines Spalts entlang dieser Kanten. Hierfür ist möglich, dass die Verbindungselemente, insbesondere mit ihren Aussparungen, mit den Gehäusewandelementen, insbesondere über die Aufnahmen, einen Pressverband und/oder einen Formschluss ausbilden.It is preferred that the housing wall elements are clamped together by means of several connecting elements. This means in particular that the connecting elements are designed or positioned and/or arranged on the housing wall elements in such a way that the housing wall elements are pressed against one another at their lateral edges, in particular to avoid a gap along these edges. For this purpose, it is possible for the connecting elements, in particular with their recesses, to form a press fit and/or a positive connection with the housing wall elements, in particular via the receptacles.
Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass mindestens ein Gehäusewandelement eine Halterung für einen Infrarotheizstrahler umfasst. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass ein zentrales Gehäusewandelement, insbesondere alle zentralen Gehäusewandelemente, je eine Halterung für einen Infrarotheizstrahler umfassen. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies insbesondere, dass jedes zentrale Gehäusewandelement eine Halterung für einen Infrarotheizstrahler umfasst. Folglich ist bevorzugt, dass die Anzahl der zentralen Gehäusewandelemente die Anzahl der Infrarotheizstrahler des gewünschten Infrarotheizgerätes vorgibt. Die Halterung kann eine Durchbrechung im zentralen Gehäusewandelement umfassen, die geeignet ist, einen Infrarotheizstrahler bzw. dessen Sockel aufzunehmen. Es ist auch möglich, dass in eine solche Durchbrechung ein Sockel eines Infrarotheizstrahlers applizierbar ist. Insbesondere ist die Halterung so gestaltet, dass die Anschlüsse, insbesondere elektrischen bzw. elektronischen Anschlüsse, für einen Infrarotheizstrahler hindurchgeführt werden können. Weiter kann die Halterung so gestaltet sein, dass eine ausgerichtete, lösbare, aber dauerfeste Fixierung eines Infrarotheizstrahlers (nur) an dem Gehäusewandelement ermöglicht ist. Das Gehäusewandelement bzw. die Halterung kann so gestaltet sein, dass alle funktionalen Komponenten eines Infrarotheizstrahlers bzw. die für seinen Betrieb erforderlichen Komponenten an dem Gehäusewandelement applizierbar sind.It can be provided that at least one housing wall element comprises a holder for an infrared radiant heater. It is particularly preferred that a central housing wall element, in particular all central housing wall elements, each comprise a holder for an infrared radiant heater. In other words, this means in particular that each central housing wall element comprises a holder for an infrared radiant heater. Consequently, it is preferred that the number of central housing wall elements determines the number of infrared radiant heaters of the desired infrared heating device. The holder can comprise an opening in the central housing wall element which is suitable for receiving an infrared radiant heater or its base. It is also possible, that a base of an infrared heater can be applied to such an opening. In particular, the holder is designed in such a way that the connections, in particular electrical or electronic connections, for an infrared heater can be led through. Furthermore, the holder can be designed in such a way that an aligned, detachable, but permanently fixed fixation of an infrared heater (only) to the housing wall element is possible. The housing wall element or the holder can be designed in such a way that all functional components of an infrared heater or the components required for its operation can be applied to the housing wall element.
Bevorzugt ist, dass das Gehäuse eine Wanne bildet, die eine maximale Tiefe von 15 cm [Zentimeter] hat. Diese Wanne ist insbesondere dann gebildet, wenn das Gehäuse einen im Wesentlichen planen frontalen Kragen bildet sowie eine rückwärtige, im Wesentlichen ebene bzw. flächige Rückwand, wobei der Kragen und die Rückwand in jeweils einer Ebene positioniert sind, die einen Abstand zueinander haben, der maximal 15 cm beträgt. Bevorzugt ist, dass die maximale Tiefe weniger als 12 cm oder sogar maximal 10 cm beträgt. Insofern ist hier ein Gehäuse angegeben, welches eine besonders flache Bauweise ermöglicht, sodass die Komponenten der Infrarotheizung sehr dicht bzw. kompakt anordenbar sind. Diese sehr geringe maximale Tiefe des Gehäuses ermöglicht auch die Integration eines Infrarotheizgerätes in eine relativ schmalwandige Wandkonstruktion. Die Abmaße eines lateralen Gehäusewandelements können ca. 21x183x100 mm (BxHxT) sein. Die Abmaße eines zentralen Gehäusewandelements können ca. 157x183x100 mm (BxHxT) sein. Für ein Gehäuse mit 2 lateralen und 3 zentralen Gehäusewandelementen ergeben sich im montierten Zustand bevorzugt etwa folgende Abmaße: 513x183x100 mm (BxHxT).It is preferred that the housing forms a tray that has a maximum depth of 15 cm [centimeters]. This tray is formed in particular when the housing forms a substantially flat frontal collar and a rear, substantially flat or flat rear wall, wherein the collar and the rear wall are each positioned in a plane that is a maximum of 15 cm apart. It is preferred that the maximum depth is less than 12 cm or even a maximum of 10 cm. In this respect, a housing is specified here that enables a particularly flat design, so that the components of the infrared heater can be arranged very densely or compactly. This very small maximum depth of the housing also enables the integration of an infrared heater into a relatively narrow-walled wall construction. The dimensions of a lateral housing wall element can be approximately 21x183x100 mm (WxHxD). The dimensions of a central housing wall element can be approximately 157x183x100 mm (WxHxD). For a housing with 2 lateral and 3 central housing wall elements, the following dimensions are preferred when assembled: 513x183x100 mm (WxHxD).
Wenn das Gehäuse mit einem umlaufenden, einteiligen Kragen (aus PPS wie vorstehend erläutert) ausgeführt ist, hat dieser bevorzugt eine Breite von mindestens 10 mm, insbesondere eine Breite von ca. 12 mm. Die Materialstärke des Kragens beträgt bevorzugt ca. 3 mm.If the housing is designed with a circumferential, one-piece collar (made of PPS as explained above), this preferably has a width of at least 10 mm, in particular a width of approximately 12 mm. The material thickness of the collar is preferably approximately 3 mm.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt wird eine Wandkonstruktion vorgeschlagen, die eine Vorderwand, eine Rückwand und einen Stellrahmen umfasst. Üblicherweise wird der Stellrahmen dazu benutzt, Vorderwand und Rückwand in einem vorbestimmten Abstand zueinander zu fixieren. Insofern ergibt sich die Tatsache, dass sich ein von Vorderwand, Rückwand und Stellrahmen gebildeter Innenraum ergibt. Die Vorderwand und/oder die Rückwand weist dabei einen Schlitz auf, in dem ein Infrarotheizgerät der hier offenbarten Art so positioniert ist, dass das Gehäuse im Innenraum angeordnet ist.According to a further aspect, a wall construction is proposed which comprises a front wall, a rear wall and a mounting frame. The mounting frame is usually used to fix the front wall and rear wall at a predetermined distance from one another. In this respect, the fact arises that an interior space is formed by the front wall, rear wall and mounting frame. The front wall and/or the rear wall has a slot in which an infrared heating device of the type disclosed here is positioned such that the housing is arranged in the interior space.
Bei dieser Wandkonstruktion handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Ständerwand. Eine Ständerwand wird im Trockenbau meist zur Realisierung einer Innenwand eines Gebäudes bzw. eines Raumes verwendet. Der Stellrahmen, auch Ständerwerk oder Unterkonstruktion genannt, kann aus Holzständern oder Stahlblechprofilen bestehen. Die Ständerkonstruktion wird als Einfach-Ständerwand oder Doppel-Ständerwand gestellt. Stahlblechprofile finden als C-, U- und L-Profile für Decken, Wände oder Ecken Verwendung. Der Stellrahmen ist so gestellt, dass er eine ebene Auflage für Bauplatten bilden, mit denen er beplankt wird (Vorderwand, Rückwand). Für die Beplankung kommen beispielsweise Gipsplatten, Gipsfaserplatten, Kalziumsilikatplatten und Zementbauplatten zum Einsatz. Es ist auch möglich, dass diese ein- oder mehrlagig montiert werden. Die Befestigung der Beplankung kann mittels Schnellbauschrauben, Nägeln oder auch Klammern erfolgen. Die zwischen dieser Beplankung (Vorderwand, Rückwand) existierenden Hohlräume bzw. Innenräume dienen beispielsweise auch zum besseren Schallschutz, wobei diese mit Mineralwolle gefüllt sein können.This wall construction is in particular a stud wall. A stud wall is usually used in drywall construction to create an interior wall of a building or a room. The frame, also called a studwork or substructure, can consist of wooden studs or sheet steel profiles. The stud construction is set up as a single stud wall or double stud wall. Sheet steel profiles are used as C, U and L profiles for ceilings, walls or corners. The frame is set up in such a way that it forms a flat support for the building boards with which it is planked (front wall, rear wall). For example, plasterboard, gypsum fiberboard, calcium silicate boards and cement building boards are used for the planking. It is also possible for these to be installed in one or more layers. The planking can be attached using drywall screws, nails or staples. The cavities or interior spaces that exist between this planking (front wall, rear wall) also serve, for example, to improve sound insulation, and these can be filled with mineral wool.
Hierbei ist nun vorgesehen, eine derartige Wandkonstruktion mit einem Schlitz auszuführen und in diesen Schlitz ein Gehäuse bzw. ein Infrarotheizgerät von außen einzuführen. Dabei kann das Gehäuse an der Vorderwand und/oder der Rückwand teilweise anliegen. Der überwiegende Anteil des Gehäuses befindet sich dann im Innenraum, wobei das Gehäuse von der gegenüberliegenden Rückwand / Vorderwand beabstandet ist. Hierbei ist das Gehäuse insbesondere wannenförmig mit der geringen Tiefe von max. 15 cm ausgeführt. Die SchlitzBreite bzw. Schlitz-Höhe ist bevorzugt auf die Abmaße des Gehäuses abgestimmt.The idea here is to make such a wall construction with a slot and to insert a housing or an infrared heater into this slot from the outside. The housing can partially rest against the front wall and/or the rear wall. The majority of the housing is then located in the interior, with the housing spaced from the opposite rear wall/front wall. The housing is designed in particular in the shape of a tub with a small depth of max. 15 cm. The slot width or slot height is preferably matched to the dimensions of the housing.
Besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Gehäuse den Schlitz verschließt. Hierbei kann das Gehäuse einen umlaufenden Kragen aufweisen, der die an den Schlitz angrenzenden Bereiche der Vorderwand/Rückwand überdeckt und wobei sich die an die Kragen anschließenden Bereiche im Wesentlichen bündig an den Schlitz anschließen. Für den Betrieb des Infrarotheizgerätes erforderliche elektrische / elektronische Anschlüsse können über den Innenraum zu von dem Schlitz entfernte Bereiche geführt werden. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass das Gehäuse mit dem Schlitz einen Formschluss bildet, sodass weitere Ausrichthilfen nicht erforderlich sind. Es ist möglich, dass das Gehäuse der Infrarot-Heizung mit einer oder mehreren Sicherheitsmitteln an der Vorderwand / Rückwand befestigbar ist. Weiter ist möglich, dass das Gehäuse insbesondere in einem frontalen bzw. aus dem Schlitz herausragenden Bereich und/oder in einem Kontaktbereich mit dem Schlitz und/oder dem Innenraum außen mit einer thermischen Isolierung vorgesehen ist, die eine unerwünscht hohe Temperaturentwicklung auf der Außenseite des Infrarotheizgerätes vermeidet. Diese Isolation außen am Gehäuse kann mittels einer Beschichtung, (allein) dem Kragen und/oder einem separaten Bauteil ausgeführt sein.It is particularly preferred that the housing closes the slot. The housing can have a circumferential collar that covers the areas of the front wall/rear wall that are adjacent to the slot, and the areas that are adjacent to the collar are essentially flush with the slot. Electrical/electronic connections required for the operation of the infrared heater can be routed through the interior to areas that are remote from the slot. It is particularly preferred that the housing forms a positive connection with the slot, so that further alignment aids are not required. It is possible that the housing of the infrared heater can be fastened to the front wall/rear wall with one or more safety devices. It is also possible that the housing is provided with thermal insulation on the outside, particularly in a frontal area or area that protrudes from the slot and/or in a contact area with the slot and/or the interior, which prevents an undesirably high temperature development on the outside of the infrared heater. This insulation on the outside of the housing can be implemented using a coating, (solely) the collar and/or a separate component.
Die Verwendung eines Infrarotheizgerätes in der hier offenbarten Art zur bündigen Integration in einer Wandkonstruktion zur Beheizung eines Raumes wird als vorteilhaft angesehen. Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist, dass diese Verwendung die Nutzung regenerativ gewonnener Energie, beispielsweise aus einer Photovoltaik-Anlage umfasst, die zur elektrischen Bestromung des Infrarotheizgerätes eingerichtet ist. Weiter ist die Verwendung insbesondere derart gestaltet, dass diese eine einfache, flexible Montage eines Infrarotheizgerätes in einem Ständerbauwerk ermöglicht.The use of an infrared heater in the manner disclosed here for flush integration in a wall construction for heating a room is considered advantageous. It is particularly preferred that this use includes the use of renewably generated energy, for example from a photovoltaic system that is set up to supply electrical power to the infrared heater. Furthermore, the use is designed in particular in such a way that it enables simple, flexible installation of an infrared heater in a post and beam structure.
Die Erläuterungen zum Gehäuse, dem Infrarotheizgerät sowie der Wandkonstruktion können miteinander kombiniert werden, sodass zur Erläuterung des einen Aspekts der Erfindung auf die anderen Aspekte der Erfindung zurückgegriffen werden kann.The explanations of the housing, the infrared heater and the wall construction can be combined with each other, so that for the explanation of the one aspect of the invention can be used to draw on the other aspects of the invention.
Ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Infrarotheizgeräts der hier offenbarten Art wird als vorteilhaft angesehen, das zumindest die folgenden Schritte umfasst:
- a) Getaktetes Aktivieren der Mehrzahl von Infrarotheizstrahler über einen Anlaufzeitraum (H1);
- b) Deaktivieren der Mehrzahl von Infrarotheizstrahler über einen ersten Pausenzeitraum (P1);
- c) Durchführen einer Phasenwechselheizung, umfassend Heizphasen (Hp) mit getaktetem Aktivieren der Mehrzahl von Infrarotheizstrahler und Pausenphasen (Pp) mit deaktivierter Mehrzahl von Infrarotheizstrahler, wobei zumindest eine Heizphase zeitlich kürzer als der Anlaufzeitraum (H1) ist.
- a) Clocked activation of the plurality of infrared heaters over a start-up period (H1);
- b) deactivating the plurality of infrared heaters for a first pause period (P1);
- c) carrying out a phase change heating, comprising heating phases (Hp) with clocked activation of the plurality of infrared heaters and pause phases (Pp) with deactivated plurality of infrared heaters, wherein at least one heating phase is shorter in time than the start-up time period (H1).
Die angegebenen Schritte a), b) und c) werden bevorzugt zeitlich (unmittelbar) nacheinander ausgeführt.The specified steps a), b) and c) are preferably carried out one after the other.
In Schritt a) können alle Infrarotheizstrahler gleichzeitig oder ggf. zeitlich versetzt aktiviert werden. Die Heizleistung kann individuell / unterschiedlich oder gleichermaßen für alle Infrarotheizstrahler vorgegeben sein. Schritt a) wird insbesondere bei einem Start des Heizprozesses ausgeführt. Der Anlaufzeitraum beträgt bevorzugt mindestens 15 min, insbesondere mindestens 25 min. Bevorzugt sollte der Anlaufzeitraum 40 min nicht übersteigen. Besonders bevorzugt beträgt der Anlaufzeitraum etwa 30 min.In step a), all infrared heaters can be activated simultaneously or at different times. The heating output can be set individually/differently or equally for all infrared heaters. Step a) is carried out in particular when the heating process starts. The start-up period is preferably at least 15 minutes, in particular at least 25 minutes. The start-up period should preferably not exceed 40 minutes. The start-up period is particularly preferably around 30 minutes.
Ist der Anlaufzeitraum erreicht, wird automatisch Schritt b) initiiert, auch hier vorzugsweise gleichzeitig für alle Infrarotheizstrahler. Der erste Pausenzeitraum liegt bevorzugt im Bereich von 4 bis 7 min, insbesondere bei ca. 5 min.Once the start-up time has been reached, step b) is automatically initiated, preferably simultaneously for all infrared heaters. The first pause period is preferably between 4 and 7 minutes, in particular around 5 minutes.
Danach schließt sich - wenn die gewünschte Raumtemperatur noch nicht erreicht ist - der Phasenwechselheizungsschritt an. Dieser kann eine oder mehrere Heizphasen und auch mindestens eine Pausenphase umfassen. Die Anzahl der Phasen kann mit Blick auf den Unterschied von aktueller und gewünschter Raumtemperatur variieren. Die Heizphasen und/oder Pausenphasen können zeitlich variieren und/oder unterschiedlich ausgeführt sein. In einfachen Anwendungen ist bevorzugt, jeweils Heizphasen und Pausenphasen konkrete bzw. feste Zeitperioden zuzuordnen. Eine (bzw. jede) Heizphase kann eine Zeitperiode von weniger als 20 min betragen, insbesondere im Bereich von 15 bis 18 min liegen. Eine Pausenphase kann eine Zeitperiode von weniger als 5 min andauern, insbesondere im Bereich von 4 bis 5 min liegen, insbesondere bei ca. 4:30 min.This is followed by the phase change heating step if the desired room temperature has not yet been reached. This can include one or more heating phases and also at least one pause phase. The number of phases can be adjusted depending on the difference between the current and desired Room temperature may vary. The heating phases and/or break phases may vary in time and/or be designed differently. In simple applications, it is preferable to assign specific or fixed time periods to heating phases and break phases. One (or each) heating phase may last for a period of less than 20 minutes, in particular in the range of 15 to 18 minutes. A break phase may last for a period of less than 5 minutes, in particular in the range of 4 to 5 minutes, in particular around 4:30 minutes.

Schritt a) kann ausgeführt werden, wenn eine Temperatur in der Umgebung des Infrarotheizgeräts feststellbar ist bzw. festgestellt wird, die unterhalb einer vorgebbaren Komforttemperatur liegt. Die Umgebungstemperatur kann mit einem externen Temperaturfühler ermittelt oder berechnet werden. Diese Information kann der Regeleinheit zur Verfügung gestellt werden, die diese mit einer vorliegenden Komforttemperatur (insbesondere die nutzerseitig vorgegebene Solltemperatur) vergleicht. Schritt a) kann (automatisch) insbesondere nach einer Neueinstellung der Komforttemperatur und/oder einem vorgegebenen Mindestunterschied von aktueller Umgebungstemperatur und Komforttemperatur initiiert werden.Step a) can be carried out if a temperature in the area surrounding the infrared heater can be detected or is detected that is below a preset comfort temperature. The ambient temperature can be determined or calculated using an external temperature sensor. This information can be made available to the control unit, which compares it with an existing comfort temperature (in particular the target temperature specified by the user). Step a) can be initiated (automatically), in particular after a new setting of the comfort temperature and/or a preset minimum difference between the current ambient temperature and the comfort temperature.
