Definitions
- This invention relates to insulating frame members and more particularly to thermally broken frame members for glazing applications such as windows, doors, conservatories and other structures.
- glazing frames fabricated from extruded aluminium alloy glazing bars remain the preferred choice, having superior strength, stability, durability and other advantages compared with frames of pvc ⁇ plastics material.
- window frames or door frames fabricated from aluminium bars are known in the art of window frames or door frames fabricated from aluminium bars.
- the good thermal conductivity of aluminium may result in the cooling of the interior-facing surfaces of the frame resulting in heat loss and also condensation, if the interior atmosphere is sufficiently warm and humid.
- thermoly broken' designs in which the ' inner and outer sections of an extruded frame member (which may be referred to herein as a ⁇ profile' ) are inter-connected by means of a rigid member of heat insulating material which substantially reduces heat conductivity between the inner and outer sections of the profile. It is an object of this invention to provide a thermally broken glazing frame or the like having improved thermal insulation for use in the construction of a glazed window, door or other article, of improved U value.
- This invention consists in a frame member having an inner profile section and an outer profile section of thermally conducting material interconnected by an elongate web of thermally insulating material characterised in that the web is formed with a plurality of longitudinally extending thin walled chambers such that the web, in cross section, is formed by a matrix of rows and columns of the cross sections of the said chambers.
- the chambers have cross section of polygon form of and, more preferably, the cross sectional form is such that the form of matrix consists in a tessellated array in which the chamber walls are all of uniform thickness.
- An array of chambers each having the same hexagonal cross sectional form is particularly advantageous and provides a honeycomb' matrix.
- Other single forms that tessellate exactly are equilateral triangles and rectangles although arrays of mixed forms will also tessellate exactly.
- the web may have a thin outer skin, which forms the wall of a truncated array of chambers along the boundary of the web.
- the lengths of the various conduction paths through the chamber walls between the inner and outer edges of the web will generally be greater, and potentially substantially greater, than the width of a corresponding solid web. Together with the relative thinness of the chamber walls the thermal conductivity of the web in accordance with this invention will result in substantially lower heat loss by conduction compared with the case a conventional web.
- the chamber wall thickness should be a rather small fraction of the depth of the web, between the inner and outer ends thereof, and preferably be about 1% -5% of the overall web depth.
- the frame member has a pair of spaced apart webs of the kind described.
- the interior facing surfaces of such first and second spaced apart webs are each provided with a plurality of opposed fins, which reduced heat transfer by convection and radiation between the inner and outer frame members.
- the window frame member shown generally as 2 has an inner aluminium alloy profile 4 and an outer aluminium alloy profile 6 which are connected together a pair of extruded spaced apart polyamide web members 8,10.
- Each web which is 36 mm deep between the inner and outer edges, is formed with a plurality of longitudinally extending thin walled chambers 12 of hexagonal cross sectional form.
- Each web, in cross section, is formed by a matrix of rows and columns of the hexagonal cross sectional forms of the chambers.
- the illustrated array is tessellated, that is each hexagonal form is disposed as an element of a mosaic with uniform wall thickness (of 0.6 mm in the case illustrated) between each chamber.
- Each web has a thin (0.6mm) outer skin 14 which forms the outer wall of an array of truncated chambers 15 of semi hexagon formed along the outer surface.
- the opposed inner surface is formed with a plurality of pair of inwardly directed fins 16 which reduce heat transfer within the cavity formed between the webs 8,10 by radiation and convection between the inner and outer elements 4, 6.
- the window assembly is completed in a standard way: the sealed unit 18 is retained in the glazing rebate 20 formed by rebate profile 22 an associated gasket 24 and the external glazing bead 26 which retains gasket 28 in contact with the outer marginal edge of sealed unit 18.
- Conduction between the normally warmer interior section 4 towards the normally cooler exterior section 6 occurs through the walls of the hexagonal chambers 12 and 15. Not only is the conduction path length through the chamber walls greater than the 36mm depth of the web but the relative wall thinness also contributes substantially to a reduction in conductivity compared with a conventional web.
