Abstract

The metallic heating panel 1 includes a serpentine conduit 2, wherein the conduit defines a water flow path that passes through the panel, the conduit having an inlet 3 and an outlet 4 that are disposed, in use, on a lower portion of the panel. The panel may be formed from two sheet metal plates having cooperating serpentine depressions, wherein the two plates are welded together to form the panel with the cooperating serpentine depressions forming the serpentine conduit. The panel may include convection fins 5, air bleed valves 6 and hanging brackets 8 to attach the panel to a wall. A covering plate 7 may be provided on the panel to hide the conduit 2 from view. The panel is advantageous over conventional radiators in that the serpentine conduit limits build-up of sludge, thereby ensuring efficient circulation of water throughout the panel. The panel may be of circular or oval shape.

Central Heating Radiator This invention relates to central heating panel radiators. Conventional radiators were designed to be used with gravity heating and have not changed in principle since theit invention, even with the introduction of the forced flow of water by the means of a pump. Conventional panel radiators by their design are prone for the build up of magnitide sludge and debris in the bottom of the radiator causing the flow of water to short circuit within the panel reducing its efficient working.and making it heat up unevenly. Also they are constrained to a rectangular or square design with the flow and connections at the sides.
To overcome these problems the heating panel will have a bottom flow connection with a single linear waterway, looped in a serpentine fashion through the entire panel with return to the bottom. Using a waterway in the fashion will prevent the build up of magnitide sludge and debris within the panel, maintaining efficient circulation of water and even heat distribution. The use of a waterway in this fashion will also allow for greater flexibility in the design of heating panels, with a variety of shapes able to be manufactured i.e. circles, ovals, etc. The use of central flow and return connection with 100mm centers can also be achieved for all sizes and shapes of panel. This will allow for faster and easier first fix plumbing.
The invention will now be described referring to the relevant drawings.
Figure 1: Shows the heating panel with a linear waterway looped in a serpentine fashion.
Figure 2: Shows the heating panel with central flow and return connections with 100mm centers.
Figure 3: Shows examples of differently shaped panels which can be manufactured.
In Figure 1: The heating panel I to be constructed out of sheet metal in two half's. The waterways 2 to be pressed into both half s of sheet metal, then welded together to form a single linear waterway looped in a serpentine fashion. The flow 3 and return 4 having /2 female threaded connection. Convector fins 5 welded to the rear of the panel. A air bleed valve 6 fitted on the top of the waterway; A top grill and side panels (not shown) to be fitted. A optional front pannel 7 to hide waterways 2. Hanging brackets 8 welded to convector fins 5 single panel, rear of double panels.
In Figure 2: Heating panel to have /2 female threaded central connections for the flow 3 and return 4 with I 00mm centers. These centers will be the same for all sizes and shapes of heating panels.
In Figure 3: Heating panels showing different examples of design which can be achieved using waterways looped in a serpentine fashion.
Claims I. A heating panel manufactured from sheet metal having a bottom flow connection with a single linear waterway looped in a serpentine pattern through the entire panel with a return to the bottom.
2. The layout of the waterway as in claim I preventing the build up of magnitude sludge and debris in the bottom of the heating panel.
3. The heating panel with the waterway as in claim I having central bottom flow and return connections of I 00mm centers for all shapes and sizes of heating panels.
4. The use of the waterway as in claim I allows for construction of various shaped heating panels.
5. The heating panel with the waterway as in claim 1 having side bottom flow and return connections.
